These days handheld I mostly just use it on full optical zoom rather than using the teleconverters. I habitually use the stabilization button on the barrel, usually I half  depress the shutter button first. I am surprised to hear that you don't use that IS assist button anymore.I am another big fan of the video performance and also have some stills that I'm pleased with on the tripod. Got a bit discouraged recently with handheld long shots - birds usually gone by the time the IS has settled down, but if it's fine here tomorrow I'll probably give it another go.I appreciate your idea of a dedicated thread trying to help fellow sx60 users get the best out of the camera. :t:</blockquote>
