Posted too soon, I figured it out.
In case anyone else finds this thread and needs to figure it out: Go to camera options page 5, then memory, then page 2. Uncheck file number. Format the card. Take a picture. That'll be name0001. Put the card in your computer, rename that picture you just took (the only one in the camera) to name####, wherever you need the numbers to start. Go back into the option menu and turn on remember file numbers. Stick the memory card back in and take a picture - it should be incremented 1 up from whatever you renamed it to.

Think about how an SLR camera works. With in-lens stabilization, there's an actual moving piece of glass inside the lens that compensates for movement. Because the light path goes from the lens, to the mirror, up to the viewfinder, it affects what you see in the viewfinder.
However, in-body stabilization has the sensor move to counteract camera shake. While you're looking through the viewfinder, all the light is going there - none is hitting the sensor. You're not looking through the sensor. Therefore you don't see any change in the viewfinder.
If you were to use live view (in which the sensor is seeing the light and displaying it on the LCD), you'd see the effects of the stabilization.
Just wait for the little hand to appear, once that's lit then the sensor is stabilized.

Other than the wings, they're ugly weird looking little creatures. But I found some flowers that attracted a lot of them and snapped quite a few pictures. What do you think?
The first one is the best, I think - the angle underneath, light flowing through the wings. The bokeh is too busy though.
