•Be sure to turn the Shake Reduction function off when using the camera with a tripod.

•The Shake Reduction function automatically turns off in the following situations.

-Self-timer shooting

-Remote Control shooting

-when the shutter speed is set to h

-when [Auto Align] is set to P(Off) in the [HDR Capture] setting

-when using the flash in the wireless mode

•The Shake Reduction function is automatically turned on when the capture mode is set to Z(Night Scene HDR) of H(Scene) mode.

• You can also change the setting from the [A Rec. Mode 4] menu (p.88).

•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 Wcompatible PENTAX lens. However, when the aperture ring is set to other than the s(Auto) position

or a lens without an sposition is used, the camera will not operate unless [22. 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 “Notes on [22. Using Aperture Ring]” (p.314) 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.

If you use a lens whose information such as focal length cannot be automatically obtained (p.312), the [Input Focal Length] setting screen appears when the camera is turned on with the Shake Reduction function set to k.

Set the focal length manually in the [Input Focal Length] setting screen.

•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 the sposition, set [22. Using Aperture Ring] in the [ACustom Setting 4] menu to [Permitted]. (p.314)

•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.
