Shutter Shake in Liveview Pentax K-50

My shutter shakes each time I put my camera in Liveview. This just came out of the blue. Does anyone know a fix for this? I have reset to factory settings and changed lenses. I have shut the SR off and it doesn't make a difference. There are no camera shops that do anything other than send back to Manufacturer. I am out of warranty and would at least like to know how much this will cost if I have to do it this way.

Is it the sensor shaking or the shutter flopping?

In any case, I would try with a fresh battery or different type of AA's, as this could be the issue.

A repair is most likely not going to be economical (precision will probably quote you in the mid-$200's); an upgrade to the K-70 would be my alternate recommendation.

Could you post a cellphone video showing this? It could help us diagnose what's happening.

This would be of benefit Suzanne.
