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.
