Sensor Dust Removal
A few minutes ago I tried activating the ultra sonic Dust Removal on the K5 for the first time, but detect no vibration. Have tried it several times, changed to a fully charges battery and..nothing. Hate to send it in for this, but it's under warranty and is supposed to work. Anyone else had such a problem? Any suggestions? I do intend to call Pentax Customer Service this AM, but thought I'd first mine the extreme depth of talent available in the PDML. Thanks!

Jack I can't hear the dust removal in mine, but my dog seems able to. I think perhaps it really is an ultrasonic vibration. Certainly it is more refined than the hammering method that the K10 and K20 used. -- William Robb -- 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: Sensor Dust Removal
The K-5 dust removal uses a piezoelectric device, not the sensor-shaking type of other Pentax DSLR's. You cannot detect it while it works.

Re: Sensor Dust Removal
Did you have visible dust before activating 'Dust Removal' ? Is the dust - if present before - still visible ?

Re: Sensor Dust Removal
Yes, I did see some spots. Yes, the sensor is now spotless. Had done Dust Removal several times trying to get it to work..before I found out that it was..and confirmed the absence of any spots with Dust Alert.

Re: Sensor Dust Removal
Glad it worked for you. I used to have dust removal activate on camera startup, but with so little dust accumulating I've dialed it back to only activate on my command.

Re: Sensor Dust Removal
Is there any disadvantage that anyone can think of to having it run every time on startup? Wear tear on the mechanism and shortened battery life come to mind - seemed like a waste to me when it accumulated so little dust over time.
