Read on another forum someone kept forgetting to turn the IS off when removing the camera body.
Any reason(s) why it needs to be turned off before hand?
Many thanks

I think its when the IS motor is running your not to take the lens off NOT when it is just on .

I've never turned mine off. Surely, if the camera is turned off there won't be a problem. Mind you, It's been in 'sleep mode' once or twice :eek!:.
No problems yet.
If I knacked my lens up, 'I wouldn't talk for a year & a half'' ;)

Exactly!!!!
Was just curious.
Wonder why anyone would take the camera off when IS was running.
Thought it only operated when focusing, which would need the camera attached surely?
 
I just activated the IS motor on my lens and pulled the camera off it while it was still operating. Just as I expected, the IS stopped because the lens lost the power being supplied by the camera, but there were absolutely no ill effects. The lens and camera work as normal.

I hope no one ask you if it can take a 10ft fall ;)
