Are you correctly using the "MODE 1, 2, and 3" image stabilization modes on your telephoto lens?

At a recent air show, I made a mistake with the image stabilization mode setting, resulting in a lot of unexpectedly blurry photos…
This time, based on that experience, I'll explain in detail the differences between MODE 1, 2, and 3, the shooting scenes each is suited for, and recommended settings for air shows.

Furthermore, I'll examine the differences in approach between Canon, Sony, and Nikon, how to handle lenses without image stabilization modes, and whether AI Sharp can salvage blurry photos. If you shoot moving subjects with a telephoto lens, be sure to check this out!
