The car in the background is in a different part of the frame, as it would be while you panned with the subject, so I would go with double exposure if asked, and given no other information. Don't really know how it would do that to you, though.
The two exposures of the subject are reasonably sharp, no motion blur except what was intended for the wheels, and there's no blur between the two positions, so although I don't know how quickly the IS system adjusts its elements, it would have to be DANG quick to achieve that!
I can see what seems like a VERY LIGHT blur between the two images
Obviously it happened.
But, it is still hard to understand how that happened.
Rather than a double exposure.
I was thinking about the sequence and timing on a 1/500 sec exposure:
Shutter opens
For the first 2/5 of the exposure, 2/2500 sec, before the IS element move = lower image
For the next 1/5 of the exposure, 1/2500 sec, the IS elements move,
Then the last 2/5 of the exposure, 2/2500 sec, the IS elements is in the final position = upper image
Then the shutter closes.
That presumes that the IS elements move to ONE position, during the exposure, rather than multiple positions.
On a 1/500 sec exposure, that is possible.
What is puzzling is, I shoot football at 1/800 at night and 1/1600 during the day, with my Nikon 70-200 and VR/IS on, and have never seen that double image effect.
I did however, have a situation where the image would jump around in the viewfinder. It was so bad, that I could not shoot. So I do not have any images of the effect of that.
I sent the lens to Nikon, and they replaced the VR module. $$$
The lens has behaved ever since.
So "maybe" the IS module or mechanism is going bad.
