I always turn off image stabilization if on tripod. That’s how I was taught a long time ago
Yes. I too have seen that suggestion from several sources. Probably 95% of our stuff is handheld (mostly leaning on something for support though), so we just leave IS on. Even on a tripod there's a little jump due to shutter activation and mirror activity. Never tried anything with the mirror locked up.
Knife order? Sounds like you're a Forged in Fire guy? Looks to be a neat challenge I'd like to try, but probably too cheap to gear up here. Do enjoy the TV show though.
