Press the shutter release button halfway.
The following indicators appear on the status screen.
The Shake Reduction function operates by obtaining the lens information
such as focal length.
If the camera uses a DA, DA L, D FA, FA J, FA or F lens, the lens information
is automatically obtained when the Shake Reduction function is activated.
Set the focal length if you use a lens whose information such as focal
length cannot be automatically obtained (p.297).

The Shake Reduction function will not fully work (for about 2 seconds) right
after turning on the camera or restoring from Auto Power Off. Wait for the
Shake Reduction function to become stable, and then press the shutter
button gently. If k appears in the viewfinder when you press the shutter
release button halfway, the camera is ready to take a picture.
The Shake Reduction function is available with any PENTAX lens compatible
with this camera. However, when the aperture ring is set to a position other
than the s (Auto) position for a lens with a s position or a lens without an s
position is used, the camera will not operate unless [27. Using Aperture Ring]
is set to [Permitted] in the [A Custom Setting 4] menu. Set this beforehand.
In such cases, however, some functions will be restricted. Refer to “Using the
Aperture Ring” (p.299) for details.
When the Focal Length Cannot Be Automatically Detected
The [Input Focal Length] setting screen does not appear when using a lens
whose information such as focal length can be automatically obtained.
When using a lens without the s position on the aperture or with the aperture
set to a position other than s, set [27. Using Aperture Ring] in the [A Custom
Setting 4] menu to [Permitted]. (p.299)
The effect of Shake Reduction is influenced by the shooting distance as well
as focal length information. The Shake Reduction function may not work as
effectively as expected when shooting at close ranges.
