I have to agree with Paul on this one. The general advice in the photo world is to turn off SR/VR/IS when the camera is supported or when panning. In reality, I've almost always forget to turn it off, and haven't ever had an image degraded because of it. Now, I just leave it on and foget about it. If I were to have a problem I would shut it off. As with many things, I read the instructions and then do what works.
When I got the K10D, I read those warnings, and I went out and did some tests. SR helped even with the panning shots, and even with panning shots done from the monopod, so I leave it on all the time. I may cause issues in some situations, but not in the ones for which I use the camera. Since I mostly shoot race cars on track, something above 50% of my photos are panned.
