• The Shake Reduction function will not fully work (for about 2 seconds) right after turning on the camera or restoring from Auto Power Off. Wait for the Shake Reduction function to become stable, and then press the shutter button gently. If kappears in the viewfinder when you press the shutter release button halfway, the camera is ready to take a picture.

The Shake Reduction function is available with any PENTAX lens compatible with this camera. However, when the aperture ring is set to a position other than the s(Auto) position for a lens with a sposition or a lens without an s position is used, the camera will not operate unless [27. Using Aperture Ring] is set to [Permitted] in the [ACustom Setting 4] menu. Set this beforehand. In such cases, however, some functions will be restricted. Refer to “Using the Aperture Ring” (p.299) for details.

When the Focal Length Cannot Be Automatically Detected

The Shake Reduction function operates by obtaining the lens information such as focal length.

If the camera uses a DA, DA L, D FA, FA J, FA or F lens, the lens information is automatically obtained when the Shake Reduction function is activated. Set the focal length if you use a lens whose information such as focal length cannot be automatically obtained (p.297).

The [Input Focal Length] setting screen does not appear when using a lens whose information such as focal length can be automatically obtained.

When using a lens without the sposition on the aperture or with the aperture set to a position other than s, set [27. Using Aperture Ring] in the [ACustom Setting 4] menu to [Permitted]. (p.299)

The effect of Shake Reduction is influenced by the shooting distance as well as focal length information. The Shake Reduction function may not work as effectively as expected when shooting at close ranges.
