Hello forum!

When using my RF 24-70 IS L lens, and my Canon R body, should I be turning off the IS feature on the lens when I'm using a tripod?? I'm planning some fireworks shots which will be relatively long exposures.

As far as I know, you should not have to with the L version.

As a bonus, FWIW, you might find this article on shooting fireworks, from an expert, of some merit:

Good question. Bet you will get a bang out of photographing fireworks.😉 Possible to post a couple in the "Share" section?
