Mode one is to have the stabilizer work in both the x and y plane.
Mode two is correction only in the y plane (I believe) that way you can still do motion panning with the lens.

This description doesn't seem very clear. I always thought it was for motion panning - maybe that's what it's trying to saying. But I bet google would help you find a better description.

| Other than that, it's all pretty self-explanatory, and it's an absolutely fantastic lens. Do go buy :) |

FWIW, you can find the manual online.

Mode 1 is for standard image stabilisation - like, when the shutter speed is quite slow, so normally the lens would shake, but with IS mode 1 on, it doesn't, you gain about 4 F-stops by having it on.
Mode 2 is specifically for motion panning - it registers the direction in which you're moving the lens, and stabilises in all directions other than that one, so that you get a stable image, but with a motion panning trail running in one direction.
Most of the time you just keep it on Mode 1 though - I can't say I've ever used mode 2. |
