Disabling in-camera image stabilization is recommended when using the Canon XH-A1 mounted on a stabilization rig like the Pilot, since the rig itself handles stabilization and the camera's feature becomes redundant
Turning off image stabilization on the Canon XH-A1 when mounted on a tripod is advisable to maintain image sharpness and quality
Camera-based image stabilization on the Canon XH-A1 may degrade picture quality and sharpness in stabilized shooting scenarios
In-camera image stabilization is primarily useful for handheld shooting with the Canon XH-A1

The discussion involves specific equipment from 2009 and may not apply to newer camera models
No technical explanation is provided for why stabilization degrades image quality in these scenarios
