The important thing to remember when it comes to IS/OS/VR is that it is there
to provide a fix for camera shake, not subject movement, and once you have a
shutter speed over 1/500 sec IS/OS/VR is irrelevant as the high shutter speed
should freeze all subject movement. Since you shot those ducks at 1/2000 you
could probably have managed without IS.

I usually turn off IR for any critter tracking, as it slows down the
tracking a tad. The shutter speed stability depends on the user's
individual hand stability, speed of the critter, and the focal length of
the lens.

actually it doesn't, since stabilization is an independent system which
keeps the subject steady in the frame, making it *easier* for focus
tracking to work.

the shutter speed stability depends on the shutter mechanism.

I am not too sure that “shutter speed stability� is the term you are
looking for. This is the first time I have heard it used.

If when shooting handheld, and you have a static target/subject, relatively
slow shutter speed (usually slower than 1/120-1/80), and a longer focal
length IBIS, or ILIS (IS/OS/VR) is going to be a great help.The greatest
benefit will be found with handheld landscapes, or portraits.

When it comes to moving targets/subjects a shutter speed, direction of
movement relative to the photographer, and camera handling techniques are
going to be far more beneficial than any mechanical stabilization. The only
time stabilization can help with a moving target/subject is when the movement
is directly away, or towards the photographer. When shooting with a panning
motion the camera is stabilized by the inertia imparted to the camera system
by the lateral movement of the camera tracking the target.

It's okay. We're a forgiving lot around here.

So I made an obvious typo.

it takes time to stabilize. This image would not be the same with
stabilization.
