Originally posted by cinaibur I just picked up a K20D on the marketplace last week and I turned on the shake reduction last night. To my surprise it was very loud if you move the camera around. I don't know if I'm just worrying about nothing and it's normal but it seemed odd. I previously owned a k-m so it didn't have SR. Am I crazy or is something wrong?
If you move the camera around on purpose with SR activated it can get kinda loud, its normal. During regular use holding the camera still taking a pic you should not hear much, but twisting the camera around and moving it semi-harshly will cause the SR system to work hard making noise. For example if I put on live view and have SR switched on, and move the K20D around like a steering wheel its very audible for sure. It could be hear on both my GX10s as well.
