Last night was the first time i used my EF 70-200 2.8 with canon's official adapter on my R5 and once i turned the camera on , the IBIS would constantly vibrate , i could feel it in my hands working.
The images turned great, and everything worked fine, i'm just wondering why was it happening ? and if it's bad in long term
thanks
