Hi everyone, I have managed to get my hands on a decent quality Canon 300mm f2.8 IS lens. Im fairly certain that somebody in the past said that when shooting sports its better to turn the IS off as it would reduce the speed of the auto focus. I would be using a monopod and have it mounted mostly to an R7 or sometimes an R6 (which i think both have built in IS). Can someone with more experience than me please offer some advice? Thanks
 
Hi
I don't know if it would make your images sharper, but if you turn IS off on the lens, it will also turn off IBIS. As far as I know you can't have just IBIS on, unless you are using a lens that doesn't have IS.
 
Thanks folks. I posted in the sports forum and got replies there too, cheers
 
@McNyat - no need to post in multiple forums. I've locked this, Talk Sports is the place for this question
