I've been searching the web, Youtube and reading the Canon manuals thoroughly to fathom the differences between the different IS modes but am still struggling to get my head around them.
Mode 1 - all purpose mode
Mode 2 - designed for panning
Mode 3 - enacted at the point of exposure.
My biggest question is on mode 3, which of the other two does it engage? and how does it know? Also engaging on the point of exposure is surely a bit last minute? Canon say that it is active all the time but unseen in the view finder? Im not sure how this works either as the IS unit is still a lens which the light passes through before reaching the mirror/viewfinder, how can this be filtered out?
Mode 2 - for panning, its almost to pan left to right without some sort of vertical fluctuation, so how does the camera compensate for this, along with the panning stability control?
Mode 1 - All purpose mode.. Canon seems to change its mind whether this is for stills, moving subjects etc. We've all experienced the fight to track a subject with this mode engaged, some like it, some hate it. But would mode 3 be better?...
As I said, so many questions and there seem to be so many conflicting answers?... :-(
