Optical image stabilisation and magnetic fields

anomaly (Steve's digicam, Panasonic forum, 25 June 2004)...

Q: Is there anything inside the camera that magnets may affect?

A: I'm told the image stabiliser runs on electromagnets. If you had a big enough magnet, I suppose it would pull that off centre or limit its effectiveness.
