do you need to hold the IS button down continuously on these newer models? specifically the 18x50

No. You don't need to hold the IS button down. You just need to push down once and it will work for 5 minutes and then it will automatically turn off.

I have the new 15x50, you press the button once and a small green light next to it comes on and it runs for exactly five minutes. Great product.

Yes you have to hold the button. Not the best mini blender I've bought. Just a heads up, it's very noisy & not enough power to blend things...

Yes, you need to hold the power button when using it. It is easy to use though - it is like a trigger that you hold.

Unfortunately, no. You have to push the button to activate and inactivate, which is annoying.

You have to hold the button down for a bit. The accidental bump is not long enough.

On this model it is switched between the 2 using the button and it does not auto sense, I'm not sure if they have a different model that auto senses.

Doesn't need one: buttons are flush and need to be pushed deliberately, and once screen times out, all of the buttons except for the main center one are inactive; pressing the main center one "wakes" the rest up.

No need to keep pressing. It will start to run once pressed and then it will stop if press it again.

Yes you can, by pressing the power button and maintaining the hold it will dim up and down.

Doesn't seem to be... it is all digitally controlled, I dont have to do anything except not overfill and push the button. It turns off itself because everything is timed. I am using it a lot and no problems at all so far.

You can not. I do not use it any more. Buttons to big always changes modes on me.

I have found all thebuttons to work, however I tend to only use the shutter release and occ. the selector wheel. The clock mode on the LCD is handy. I made a point to learn what they all are for when I first installed it, but have forgoten them since I dont use them any more. I still love this grip with the extended battery life and relocated shutter release.

Yes, there is a hold button feature that will hold until you come home (as opposed to the override which will simply revert back to the next setting). It makes no noise when pushing buttons.

It stays on, no need to hold the button down. It will turn off in spray mode and turn back on in spray mode if you dont switch it back.
