[Leica] IMG: Testing IBIS

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

My Olympus E-510, which I haven't used much in recent years, has "In 
Body Image Stabilization", or IBIS.  Because of that fact, I have paired 
it up with the Leica Elmarit-R 90mm recently for butterfly photos.  
While the CMOS sensor is only 10MP, it works well for closeups.

During a slow point in the Denver-San Diego football game last night, I 
decided to see how well the IBIS system worked.  I shot some hand-held 
screen shots, using Aperture Preferred automatic exposure.  This worked 
out to be ISO 100, 1/13 sec at f/4, using the 90mm lens.

Except for the movement of the Closed Caption "crawler", the remainder 
of the image is acceptably sharp.  I was impressed.
