K-5 dust removal

LFLee · 05-31-2011, 01:11 PM

Hi all,

I have a question regarding K-5 dust removal tool. In my k200d, when you select the dust removal, the camera shakes/vibrate to remove dust. But the K-5 did nothing? I don't feel it vibrating at all.

Is this normal?

K-5 dust removal is kind of ultrasonic / near ultrasonic vibrations.

You definitely won't feel it. However you can hear it in very quiet place (if you have good ears).
