Do you explicitly choose when to use stabilization and when not to, or mostly leave IS on?



Guess I'm in the minority.  I leave VR (Nikon shooter) off, unless I am in a situation where I think it might be help. I view it like adding a filter.  Unless I can articulate a reason to use it, I leave it out of the equation.

There are 3 modes of VR now.  Normal, Active (moving platform) and Sport.  So it will depend on the lens and the modes it has. 

Also, there is indication that in the Nikon system with shutter speeds over 1/500th or so, it might impart a negative effect.  As the systems get better and processing timelines decline, this probably becomes less and issue.
