Interesting info on the SR & differences of Pentax models
Found this post informative over at DPReview: "Many people don't realize that it takes 0.58 sec for the SR to spool up from the initial half press, if for some reason you take a picture before the SR has fully spool the act of spooling can cause a blurred image even at a 1/8000th sec shutter speed. So avoid SR when shooting action, or at higher shutter speeds or any time you don't have the patients to wait for the spool up. Also depending on which camera you have you will want to turn SR off when following a fast moving subject (panning) In my experience i could pan without issue on anything from the K-5 and older, however the K-5II/s and K-3 changed things by turning SR off when it detected camera movement (beyond shake) and every time the SR was turned off it would spool up again which of course ruins photos if you're bursting away. Apparently the K-3II detects the pan and compensates by stopping the SR horizontally but keeping the SR vertically. So anytime there is no action and you're not blasting off shots in split seconds then SR will be fine, just remember to be patient to let it spool up before firing. Also yes of course SR is supposed to be turned off when on a tripod." -- source: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/57182975 -- “The Earth is Art, The Photographer is only a Witness ” ― Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Earth from Above -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: Interesting info on the SR & differences of Pentax models
Note, as I have mentioned before, that when you have your camera on a tripod you presumably are trying to minimize camera movement and therefore you will be using a remote release. At least this is what seems to be behind the Pentax design logic which automatically turns SR off when you are using a remote. I don’t have my K-3 handy to verify but I believe it doesn’t matter whether you actually use your remote, it is just about setting the Mode to Remote firing activated. Of course in that mode you don’t need to use a remote and the shutter button works just fine. In short, that mode setting is a very quick and easy way to turn off the SR in circumstances like Darren describes. stan > On Feb 3, 2016, at 3:30 PM, Darren Addy wrote: > > Found this post informative over at DPReview: > > > "Many people don't realize that it takes 0.58 sec for the SR to spool > up from the initial half press, if for some reason you take a picture > before the SR has fully spool the act of spooling can cause a blurred > image even at a 1/8000th sec shutter speed.

I don't know how much credence to invest in the writings of anyone who doesn't have the "patients" to proof-read before hitting send.
