Image stabilization and tall buildings

[conropl]

I'll just add a 4.1 to Pat's list. Some lens have "automatic panning detection", so there is multi-mode IS, but it is not user selectable.

I didn't know that, but I was just sitting here wondering if such a thing existed. So it would probably be looking for large amplitude movements with relatively small rates of change over time... and when detected, then switch to pan mode???

I do not know if I like giving up that control, but it would be useful for that spur of the moment bird shot where I always forget to flip the switch or do not have time too.
