EOS R5 Image Stabilization ((hand))+ icon

lukesato — Sat, 09 Jan 2021 20:18:50 GMT

I noticed when I attach both the RF 24-70mm f2.8 L IS and RF70-200mm f2.8 L IS lenses the image stablization icon is just a ((hand)). However, when I attach a RF 15-35mm f2.8L IS lens, the icon changes to ((hand))+. Does anyone know what the + means and why does it only appear when I attach the RF15-35mm lens on?

There's a note on page 352 of the manual. The "+" means that more effective image stabilization is being used (lens IS in conjunction with the camera IS). Also says to visit the Canon website for details on lenses compatible with the feature (though no link provided). So perhaps also check out the manuals for your lenses.

Thank you for pointing me to the page in the manual. I wonder why it only appears on just one RF lens and not the others?
