Being primarily a birder, and that time of the year upon us, been fooling around
with longer lenses of mine. Had M 400/5.6 this weekend and with that lens
on my K20d, all on top of a monopod. Shooting at 1/125 with SR enabled
SR seemed to be more of root cause of some bluring rather than a fix.
This is mentioned in K20 manual a number of times, so its no suprise to me.
rondec, you got some great shots there, assume you had SR disabled,
have you noticed K7's firmware respond in this manner,and introduce vibration
via SR. Havent had time go through this thread, is it safe to assume that
SR is disabled when using slow shutter speeds such as these.
Hope Im not going off topic but 2 subjects seem to have direct and linear
relationship to one another in terms of acceptable results.
No, I had the SR on. I know that there have been reports of SR adding blur to photos, etc, but I have not seen anything personally. I updated the firmware on the K7 soon after I got and some felt that that improved SR, but I don't know. All I can say is that I am a whole lot shakier without SR than with. I have a couple of times turned it off to put my camera on a tripod and forgotten to turn the
SR back on and I have a lot more blurry photos then.
