Canon L lens IS question at DVinfo.net

I am curios how Canon IS lenses work in video mode on the 7D. I was reading a review on photo site about the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0 L IS USM and this is how it described the IS

"In real use ... Pressing the shutter release half way engages the image stabilizer - a click and quiet hum (low growl) are heard and the viewfinder image becomes still (very nice)."

In video mode does the image stabilizer work continually?

IS is on full time in Live View. To observe this zoom to X10; then pan and stop - you will see the image coast to a stop. Turn off IS and try this and the image stops abruptly. Another way is to just check the video sound - with IS on you can hear it working in the background.
