R10 Lens stabilization feature request

[Tele23]

I have used an EF-S 55-250mm F4-5.6 IS with my R10 for quite a while until I recently upgraded to an EF 70-200 F4L IS USM and I love it, it's an amazing lens. One thing is bothering me though, and that is the way Canon mirrorless bodies work with IS lenses. It bothers me that the IS is always active whenever the sensor is active. This can cause wear to the IS system and also drains the battery unnecessarily. I think Canon should provide an additional option in the IS (Image Stabilization) menu along the lines of Continuous IS. When turned on it would handle IS like it does right now, but when turned off it would handle it like a Canon DSLR would, that is only turning the IS on when you half-press the shutter button or the BBF button. I think it's better to let people decide if they like it more either way, instead of forcing it like this. This should be done on all mirrorless bodies from canon, not only the R10. I really hope someone from Canon sees this, it's really bothering me (and other people as well). Thanks.

Have you ever stepped through all the menus to see what all the settings are?  I think it might be called “Continuous AF”, which can be Enabled or Disabled.  If you have not already done so, I recommend that you download a PDF copy of the full UserGuide.  Search for keywords to find stuff and learn about it.

[EDIT] The AF Menus is a good place to look for it.

I have read the advanced user manual or whatever it's called, I know the entire menu screen as I'm a big fan of having lots of options to look into haha. The Preview AF option is what I think you're referring to and it is not something that I want to be turned on, and it doesn't affect IS in any way either. I really don't think there is already a way to achieve what I said in the feature request.
