Taking Pictures Using the Shake Reduction

Function

• The Shake Reduction function does not work for blurring caused by subject

movement. To take pictures of a moving subject, increase the shutter speed.

• The Shake Reduction function may not fully reduce camera shake when

taking close-up shots. In this case, it is recommended to deactivate the

Shake Reduction function and use the camera with a tripod.

• The Shake Reduction function will not fully work when shooting with a very

slow shutter speed, for example when panning or capturing images of night

scenes. In this case, it is recommended to deactivate the Shake Reduction

function and use the camera with a tripod.

• The Shake Reduction function is available with any PENTAX lens compatible

with this camera. However, be sure to set the focal length before using a lens

for which focal length information cannot be automatically obtained. Refer to

Reducing Vertical and Horizontal Camera Shake
