K3 Shake Reduction Icon

**paulpines** · 02-16-2018, 08:30 AM

Hello all,

I've noticed that sometimes this symbol appears on the hand icon for shake reduction. It disappears as well. Does anyone know what it means? Please refer to the pic below.

Thanks

That's horizon correction. It will automatically rotate and crop the frame if you're within +/- 3 (I believe) degrees of horizontal tilt, and the setting is enabled.

It may sound silly, but this is one of my favorite features... I could never get a level horizon on my K10D.
