However, I had started the video recording with the remote control. I believe that is supposed to turn off the shake reduction automatically. Maybe it doesn't.
Just played with this some more.
When setting the drive mode to "remote" it automatically disables SR when starting the movie recording, even if I press the shutter button manually rather than use the remote to start shooting.
The menu setting for SR is ignored - and actually is greyed out if you try to change it while in movie mode.
Sadly however, none of this seems to affect the audio noise.
The "washing machine" noise is there as soon as live view is engaged - whether the camera is in movie mode or picture mode, recording or not recording, and whether SR is on or off.
I can actually hear this noise if I put my eat right against the camera.
Unfortunately, the built-in microphone picks up this noise when recording video.
This results in audio that is completely worthless to me.
You can hear it best in quiet parts, for example in the first few seconds of my K-30 video before I start playing.
