Originally posted by dcshooter Would you accept a SR system that causes the sensor to overheat after <10min of use? Until Ricoh figures out how to solve that problem, the mechanical SR during video is not coming back.
Please cite the source of that information, it's not something I've seen or heard of, and there are times when I swap the modeo of SR in still to 'always on', and have personally never seen the system overheat.
The ONLY time I've seen my K-01 display it's temp warning, was after several hours filming a webseries in 38degC weather, when I had to move the camera to be in direct sunlight for 20min. MovieSR was off for that.
The only comments I've seen regarding the reason to disable SR in video, was the occasional noise the system makes being picked up on internal microphones.
The simple fact is, the people that can make the most use of Sensor Shift in Video, are those most likely to already be using an external sound recorder.

Originally posted by monochrome IIRC, Pentax significantly reengineered the IBIS technology for K-3 (actually, K5lls), making it smaller, faster (ultrasonic) and lighter. I don't believe they simply decided to turn it off - there is a technical impediment to continuing mechanical video stabilization.
The K-5 models have Sensor Shift in video.
It was with the launch of the K-01 and K-30 that the function was replaced with the awful MovieSR,.. Which is most annoying in the Mirrorless form factor, and is highly likely to be one of the major contributors to the negative press and limited sales popularity of the K-01.
