Here is a quick photo taken this morning of one of our beaver friends. The photo is taken with my Panasonic G1 and the 45-200 lens. I was using my mono pod and turned the lens stabilization off. I am not sure which would be better but there was not much light. The shutter was 1/20th and the photo is not perfect but how many times do you see a beaver from your bedroom balcony? Maybe he will be by for his breakfast tomorrow and I can try again. Bill

Hi Bill,

Love your photos - lots of wildlife shots in your beautiful little town.

Why not leave image stabilization on while the G1 is on the monopod? Is the IS system one the G series one of those that will degrade an image taken on a tripod?

out of town friend,

Hi John, I need to test this to know for sure but my default thought was to turn the IS off, Bil
