With AF-S:

  • In mode 2 (shooting), you won't see the stabilization effect in the viewfinder because IS isn't activated until you fully press the shutter release.
  • In mode 2 (shooting), after you press the shutter release the camera has to wait for IS to stabilize before taking the picture.
  • In mode 2 (shooting), the IS system isn't using any battery power except for a very short time when taking pictures.

With AF-C and mode 2 (shooting), half-pressing the shutter activates the IS. When half-pressed, you'll see the stabilization effect in the viewfinder. There's also no need for the camera to wait for the IS to stabilize before taking a picture. So, for AF-C, there's not much reason to use mode 1 unless you really need a stabilized viewfinder even before half-pressing.

IS mode 1 has significant advantage when using long tele lens and shooting object at far distance. Picture become too jumpy without constant stabilization. 

At short and mid distances, when picture is less dependent of camera's random movements, mode 2 become better because camera will take less power from battery.
