A quick video to confirm some issues when using the new Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM with the hybrid IS system.
When in video mode, the hybrid IS system will be in function continuously. When it is common to record short footages, around 15-20 seconds, the IS is quite useful but introduces two issues:
- IS noise with built in audio
- image shift
When the issue with IS noise is minimal, just because you wouldn’t use the built in mic for a high quality audio… However, the issue with images shift is more of a concern. For footage less than 3 to 5 seconds, you will not notice or it will not bother you but for footage a bit longer, you will see images shifting. For footage of 15 seconds, image shifting occures about 4 times.
This phenomenon is accentuated with the camera is slightly tilted down.
