Quote: That's crazy turning SR off on a monopod. I don't even turn it off on a tripod most of the time. I turn it off if the tripod is locked, I'm on a 2 second delay (it goes off automatically) and my hand can be off the camera for the full two seconds. I've had enough shots ruined when I was slow getting my hand off the camera and it was still shaking when the timer went off to go with "no SR on a tripod."
That should be, "no SR when there is no chance of camera vibration". I've also left SR on when on a locked tripod, I could see gusts of wind vibrating my tripod. The problems of SR ruining an image are much smaller than the odds an inadvertent motion blurring an image with SR off. Especially on a monopod.
Two reasons for turning SR off. On a two second delay or remote shutter release on a heavy, locked tripod, , or panning. The rest of the time, leave it on.
With a monopod you can still have the camera move with hand shake.
