Using the Shake Reduction Function 
to Prevent Camera Shake
The Shake Reduction function reduces camera shake that occurs when 
the shutter release button is pressed. This is useful for taking pictures in 
situations where camera shake is likely to occur. The Shake Reduction 
function allows you to take pictures at approximately 4 steps slower 
shutter speed without a risk of camera shake.
The Shake Reduction function is ideal when taking pictures in the following 
situations.
• When taking pictures in dimly lit locations, such as indoors, at night, 
on cloudy days and in the shade
• When taking telephoto pictures
Taking Pictures Using the Shake Reduction Function
•The Shake Reduction function does not compensate 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 turn off 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 shooting night scenes. In 
this case, it is recommended to turn off the Shake Reduction function and use 
the camera with a tripod.

Shooting Functions4
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.
• 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 
k appears 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 W compatible PENTAX 
lens. However, when the aperture ring is set to other than the s (Auto) position 
or a lens without an s position is used, the camera will not operate unless [22. 
Using Aperture Ring] is set to [Permitted] in the [A Custom 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 [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 s position on the aperture or with the aperture 
set to a position other than the s position, set [22. Using Aperture Ring] in 
the [A Custom 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.
