everyone talks smack to "learn your camera" but noone tells how to do it or whatever it even means. very informative; your vids always have something fresh and unique in them

Glad you find them interesting! And I agree that there are a lot of people talking about photography, but few with practical advice. I'll try to make more videos with that principle.

Nice video. Another video about how to stand and hold the camera would help. I do: Left feet forward. Right feet a little back and turned outwards for better stability The camera firmly pushed to my head. Arms against my breast. Finger over the shutter button. Not moving like you do at 00:54 Release the shutter after exhaling my breath.

Nice clear video. Burst shots are very handy for slower shutter speeds. From my testing, I generally use burst if my shutter speed is less than twice my focal length. I must be shakier than you - I blame coffee 😂

Bursts are a great way to do it. I generally can't because I use strobes, and that would really give them a workout!

One small trick. You can go down to 1/13 handheld and still shoot sharp, if you set the shutter mode to timer and set it to 2 seconds. Most of the camerashake came from the pressing of the shutter button. With a timer set, you press the shutter, and after the movement when the camera still again, it will make the image. Not 100%, but approx 30-40% of the images will be sharp with this, if you practice.

Wow, I'm shocked, to be honest. The curve looked absolutely reasonable to me, reflecting the old "1 / focal length" minimum shutter speed to hand-hold. Bang-on. And then it turns out that is with IBIS on??? If that is the case, then either the R5 IBIS is crap or something went wrong IMHO.

Or are my hands shakier than average? Perhaps other people can use ibis to get slower shutter speeds - I think that's why we need to know our own limits. I appreciate your comment!

In essence your findings correlate with the standard reciprocal rule. Your 85mm lens was giving 60% hit rate at 1/60th but once you upped it one more stop to bring it over 1/85th ( in this case 1/125th ) you achieved 100% 🙂. I still apply the reciprocal rule irrespective of now having IBIS/Lens stabilization at my disposal. I'm aware that IBIS/Stabilization are good to have and will certainly yield sharp photos at what would have been impossible to hand hold but in the main I don't lean on its capabilities too much. I shoot mostly events so to be honest I'm usually shooting moving subjects which require shutter speeds that exceed my focal length anyway so I'm often well above the reciprocal rule during shooting. I just up my ISO to compensate in situations where a noisy sharp image is easier to fix in post than a blurry image. For all but the fastest motion photography ( sports, wildlife, BIF, etc ) you could essentially just leave your shutter permanently at 1/200th sec and use ISO/aperture to set exposure and almost never get a blurry photo! 😉

Agreed - the reciprocal rule and stabilization help with still subjects, but we need to figure out the slowest shutter to suit the motion of whatever specific moving subjects we have. Thanks for the thoughtful comment!

See my comment above - that is spot-on to what I expected. But NOT with IBIS turned on!!!

Another concise, but well-thought out video. Well done!

Thank you!

Your video proved that as a rule you can get sharp images shooting at the speed equivalent to your lens mm, in your case it was 85mm so your minimum should be 100mm.
