My guess is no, when SR is turned off the electromagnets that are the motive force for the SR are fed a fixed current which holds the assembly firm (a bit like magnetic door latches). So if the logic fails the motors could shift the sensor to an inappropriate rest position and that or worse may happen if the drive electronics for the SR motor coils fail. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
