I have a problem with the Shake Reduction on my K10D: It doesn't seem to do any lick of difference! I have done hundreds of tests, and it has never made even the tiniest of differences. Does anybody know what's wrong? Can anyone help me?
I came from the forums at dpreview.com after getting frustrated because I never got replies to my questions. Hopefully this thread will at least have a few replies.
Thanks
At higher shutter speed, you won't see much difference. At too low a shutter speed, it can't do miracle.
So, the range it will work is at 2 to 3 stops lower than the "safe" shutter speed, which is 1/focal length (35 equivalent), but still, that varies person to person.
E.g., if you really want to test, you have a FA 35 lens attached to your K10D, say, the "safe" shutter speed is about 1/50th second. So, at 1/30th sec, the SR should work and make some difference and at 1/15th, it *should* still work. But at 1/8th, I am afraid you will get blur pictures again even you have the SR turned on.
