HF S11 Panning with Dynamic IS: Correct Method at DVinfo.net

There is no jerking or stickiness. That's ONLY an attribute of video compression on the web.

It does have a characteristic "bounce" at the end of pans that can seem odd, though. The secret to good pans on the HF S11 is to ease-out at the end of the pan, so that the slow-cycle D-IS has time to catch up (otherwise, it will correct its alignment AFTER your pan).

As an alternative, just switch to standard IS. You're panning anyway, which will hide a host of vibrating ills.

I like D-IS more and more, it just takes (a little) practice.
