Yes, Canon lenses with built-in image stabilization have a physical switch labeled “IS” or “Stabilizer.” This toggle lets you turn image stabilization on or off. When enabled, the lens compensates for small hand movements (like shaking), helping reduce blur in photos and videos.
In the case of an autonomous boat, IS can help counteract small, high-frequency vibrations from the boat’s engine. However, larger motions like swaying or pitching from waves aren’t fully corrected by lens IS.
Keep in mind that the Raspberry Pi camera does not take IS feedback into account and captures images continuously, regardless of whether stabilization is still settling. This means it may take a picture while the lens is still compensating for motion.
Another nuance is that the controller powers the lens motor during focus operations, then may enter a standby mode that cuts motor power after a timeout. When this happens, IS also shuts off.
