Ahh, interesting, thanks Cotty. Perhaps it's common to some DSLRs. As I mentioned before, it's unusual but it doesn't seem to affect the operation of the camera in any way. So, I'm not going to sweat it.
It only moves in the one plane; moving the camera forward and back it's nice and solid, only rotating it on the axis of the lens do I feel it. -Brendan --- Cotty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 25/11/06, Brendan MacRae, discombobulated, > unleashed: > > >Does anyone else have some internal shifting about > >when turning your K10D from landscape to > horizontal? > > > >Mine has a slight "slip" that I can feel when I do > >this.
