This is the email that Ricoh Europe sent me:

Thank you for contacting Ricoh Imaging.
Herewith we inform you that K-3 uses sensor-shift stabilization.
In order to troubleshoot the probloem you experience with your K-3 camera please try to update its firmware to the latest version. The firmware can be downloaded from:

Same answer from Focus Nordic and Cyberphoto. Probobly because the asked the same person on Ricoh Europe.
I´ve just made a new movie that i think proofs that the K3 uses electronic SR:
I´ve recorded my K3 during movie recording and during playback of the recorded movie.
Then I put them side by side to see the difference of shaking.
It looks like the recorded movie shakes less during playback.
Is this a proof that the Pentax K3 uses electronic software shake reduction in movie mode?
Edit: I´ve found out that my SR is not broken.
It works in picture mode live view.
The sensor moves around when shaking the camera in live view but as soon as I switch to movie mode, the sensor is still and not moving.
