Problem
Shake
Reduction does
not work
In rare cases, the camera may not operate correctly due to static
electricity. This can be remedied by taking the batteries out and putting
them back in again. When the mirror remains in the up position, take the
batteries out and put them back in again. Then, turn the power on. The
mirror will retract. After the procedure is done, if the camera operates
6
correctly, it does not require any repairs.
* Refer to p.11 of the "PENTAX PHOTO Browser 3/PENTAX PHOTO
