I've never needed to turn the shake reduction off in the K20D. If I have the camera on a tripod on a really solid substrate -- bedrock, concrete footings -- I don't get any benefit from it, but I haven't seen any harm from it, either. Never tried to shoot fast motorsports, but panning to follow flying ducks (~60 mph) doesn't seem to trouble the shake reduction algorithm any. On the other hand, I've had it turn off by accident and regretted that. I suspect deleting the SR switch in the K-7 is an acknowledgement that it's not something you need to turn off very often, and that those occasions where you do turn it off are also those where you're just not in a hurry; the substantial tripod and the really solid substrate don't admit of being in a hurry. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
