Clunk in K10

You mean that gentle sound of something moving slightly? Never really noticed it before, but it's probably the sensor that determines which way up the camera is being held.
I wouldn't expect the CCD shift to be as large as the movement I have just been listening to.

Haven't K100D owners also reported this quiet thunk from inside when they rotate the camera? It doesn't have an orientation sensor IIRC.

I should clarify. I am referring to the camera being tilted when it is switched off.

Yep, so was I. With the camera switched off, rotating it reveals a slide>thunk sound. Don't know about the K100D, but it certainly happens on the K10D.
It seems to be normal, so if everything is working OK I wouldn't worry!

As John says, this is indeed normal - and "slide, thunk" is an excellent description.I should clarify. I am referring to the camera being tilted when it is switched off.
