It's some fun to read the auto translation. However, one question comes to mind: They describe the SR mechanism as a kind of frictionless electromagnetic system, taking no energy loss. Ok - no energy loss is marketing speech. It will take energy to accelerate the sensor in one direction, it will take energy to stop it again, and it will take energy to move it back. Frictionless sounds like some kind of magnetic levetation. This would mean, that when powered on the CCD will lift of the zero-position for a minimum amount of space. This lifting would shift the projection area. AF needs a different focus adjustment. Does the camera refocus when you turn SR on and off? -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
