K5 dust removal ...no noise...Broken?

terihanright · 10-18-2010, 09:25 PM

When I use the ultrasonic dust removal function on the k5 I dont hear any noise to indicate it is working. On my k7 the noise is clearly audible. Can some of you please test your dust removal feature, and tell me if you hear anything when using it ? Pentax might not have tested this feature on the k5. Thanks,

Teri

The K-7 doesn't really make any noise either, just a supersonic burst. They might have made it completely inaudible on the K-5.
