In the B&H Q&A panel Rudy Winston from Canon said the following:
One of the Canon USA promo clips had a disclaimer saying any IS lens announced before July 9th will need a firmware update.
- The stops are measured by the CIPA standard
- EF and RF non-IS lenses will get a menu entry for IBIS
- EF and RF IS lenses won’t get a menu entry, IBIS is controlled by the IS switch on the lens
- EF IS will work ‘simultaneously’ with IBIS
- RF IS will work ‘in conjunction’ with IBIS
My interpretation is that for EF IS lenses, IBIS will only do rotation compensation, not shake compensation. For some select EF lenses you’ll get a firmware update to enable full IBIS, my guess would be the 2018 400mm and 600mm, since those seem to have RF style electronics already.
I hope the 100mm macro also gets a firmware update and full IBIS
Good question. They are two independent systems so one would assume the answer would be yes, but how much. I don't recall gimbals being rated in stops. In my mind the gimbal is addressing some very large movements compared to the camera and is doing things like maintaining a particular position or level. Hopefully someone can illuminate us.if i use a gimbal together with EOS R with the approved RF IS lens (eg 8.0 EV 24-70mm F2.8L / 85mm F1.2L / 85mm F2 Macro) , can i achieve more than 8 Stop of Shake stabilization?

You also can find Canon staff making the opposite claim. See after 2:50 in this:More Rudy talking about IBIS at the 29:11 mark. His remarks about "low speed and video" stabilization on EF IS lenses seem to confirm my suspicion that it won't do shake correction on those, only rotation. The support for low frequency things like breathing is a nice extra

Hmm...I'd never knows that you could update EF lens firmware?!?!?!?
I learn something new every day I guess. So, do EF lenses have a port on them or something you plug into?
Have there been many updates for EF lenses?[..]

It's through the camera, just put the firmware on the memory card and go into the update menu.
