Does R5 have image stabilization?
The stabilization system in the R5 and R6 will work with Canon’s RF, EF and EF-S lenses, regardless of whether they feature in-lens IS (aka Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer). It will also work with third-party lenses as well as “dumb” lenses with no electrical communication.
Does Canon r5 image stabilization work with EF lenses?
With EF OIS lenses, the 5 axis is partially shut down and only does 2 axis of stabilisation and the rest is done with OIS, so you’re getting similar results as if you hadn’t IBIS. You only get the dual synchronised IS with RF lenses.
When should I use image stabilization?
Image stabilization is only important if you shoot in low light situations where you need slower shutter speeds. Image stabilisation isn’t for you if you often shoot at 1/500th of a second in lots of light or are mostly on a tripod. You can turn it off in the menu system and save a bit of cash by buying non-IS lenses.
Do I need OIS?
OIS is a valuable tool to have, whether you are shooting videos or photos. It’s particularly adept in low-light scenarios, where the camera’s shutter may be open for longer. Without OIS, this can blur images due to slight hand movement, commonly known as motion blur.

Does a video need image stabilization?
Having a stable image is even more important in video because people can see any shakiness. With a still photo, stabilization is only needed for the fraction of a second that image is exposed, but with video it needs to stay stable for the entire length of the clip.
What difference does image stabilization make?
Image stabilizers are important because they make your image sharper, even at slower shutter speeds. As you may know, an image shot at 1/125 of a second will be more sharp than an image shot at 1/8 of a second. The downside being an image shot at 1/125 of a second it will be 4 stops darker than an image shot at 1/8.
