You always have a way of explaining things that just make it simple to understand which is a gift. Keep up the great work my guy.

Thanks, Paul, for the explanation, when I think of stops, I think aperture.

I have a Nikon Camera but the body doesn't have Image stabilisation, but my Nikon Lenses have Vibration reduction. I hate when I'm using my Tripod and forget to turn off Vibration reduction. I liked the Mural Street Art. Thanks Paul for another great video.

This explanation really took hold in my noggin on the first go round, and that's not faint praise. Up to now I heard many reviewers toss in at the last second of product specs: "and X stops of stabilization" but they don't even mention if more stops is a better or worse specification let alone what it means. Well done. And thanks for adding the tips about stabilization to be OFF if there is going to be panning involved which is a characteristic of my recreational sports shooting.

This is the best explanation of image stabilisation I've ever come across. I still thought there was a minimum. shutter speed I had to use and didn't realise there was this stops rating.

My only question, if the lens and body has stabilisation are the two ratings added together?

I've been into photography over a year no matter how much I learn you still teach me something new.

This is a great video Paul! Your communication was very easy and clear to understand and I really appreciated how you just got straight to the point as videos like this can usually be very boring. Also thank you for incorporating visuals into your videos as these are extremely helpful. Thank you :)

Great info, well-presented, as always. Thanks!

Oh Paul thank it's so nice to go back and watch your tutorials as I've just had an emergency operation not getting out with my camera as can't walk far particularly without crutches so these are so refreshing and help keep me updated so informative as you tend to forget these simple things thank you 👍

Paul!!! This is SO excellent and what an I've had my Nikkor 18-300 for several years and was completely unaware of this feature/capability!!!! I now need to go do more experimentation!!! Thank You! THANK You!! THANK Steve

Careful, cause many entry cameras only allow to adjust ISO in full stops, despite doing ISO thirds when ISO is on auto, plus minimum shutter relates to focal distance, you can hand shut at 1/20 if using 10mm and your example 1/60 will bring shaking if you use 200mm, foe example

I shoot canons and know most subjects you present. However I always gain a little piece of knowledge from you. Thank you for your work.
