Hi all,
I know this is a PS n/g, but hoping someone can shed some light here. I've
been "Googling" for an hour or so, but with no luck. It seems that there
isn't an exif program out there that will show whether or not Image
Stabilization was used on my Canon 20D, 100-400 lens combo. I guess that as
the IS is a function of the lens and not the camera it's not possible to
show this info in the exif?
Cheers,

Paul

The IS motor is in the lens, but I think the camera will steer it.
Besides, the lens and the camera exchange information so it SHOULD be
possible. I don't think it is used however, and if it were, it's the
kind of proprietary information that probably only Canon software will
understand. Canon Digital Photo Professional doesn't show this info, so
its a safe bet that it's not used at all.
