Quote: Are you going to be panning as the plane goes past? If so, you'll need the active setting.
Sorry but that's wrong. Active mode is for use when taking pictures FROM a moving vehicle.
From the lens's manual...
Setting the vibration reduction mode switch
NORMAL: The vibration reduction mechanism primarily reduces camera shake, making smooth panning shots possible.
ACTIVE: The vibration reduction mechanism reduces camera shake when taking pictures and those from a moving vehicle. In this mode, the lens does not automatically distinguish panning from camera shake.
and...
• When taking panning shots, be sure to set the vibration reduction mode switch to [NORMAL]. If you move the camera in a wide arc when panning, vibration in the direction of that movement is not affected. For example, if you pan the camera horizontally, only vibration in the vertical direction is reduced, making smooth pans much easier.
