Not going to be a problem, SSS does nothing for subject movement. It's using motion sensors, not working off the image. It has no clue what you are photographing only how much the camera is moving.

I use SSS off for tripod, on for all handheld, and also when using a shoulder mount I still treat it as handheld.

I use SSS off for the Wimberly head just like any tripod shot. During the actual shot the camera is either not moving or if panning following a path that does not resemble human movement.

This may be an ignorant question, but I'm not that technically knowledgable on the subject of camera's yet.

I have an a390 which, unfortunately, doesn't have mirror lock-up. If I mount my camera on a tripod, is it possible for SSS to compensate mirror vibrations?

SSS will make tripod vibration worse most of the time. Just turn it off, and use a good tripod.

Hi David,

Thank you for your quick reply.

I'll try it out for myself ones I get the chance.

Cheers!
