Help I've lost my SR in all but USER & MOVIE. I go to capture 4 to set it but Shake Reduction & Input Focal Length are both greyed out. You have to go to SR to turn it on but because it is greyed out I can't get in to it. It is OK in user & movie but turned off in all other progs. There is no answer in the trouble shooting section either. What buttons have I wrongly pressed? HELP! CHEERS Vic.
PS It is a K7 Vic.
PPS I just checked and SR is still on the Green Mode.

Have you adjusted the drive mode at all? I notice that whenever I switch to shooting with a remote control, the shake reduction is disabled (presumably on the premise that the camera will be attached to a tripod...) - similarly when the camera is in self-timer mode, the SR is disabled (presumably for the same reason). Not sure if that helps - am sure others will understand the K-7 menus better than I do (yet)...

Regards

Hi Vic

Like Mat mentioned, if the K7 is anything similar to the K20D then most probably you have the camera set up for self timer or remote shooting.
I would check that first

Maybe you have changed it to off in the menu???

Thanks Mat. I had just been playing with the Drive Mode and had left it on Mirror Up. My short term memory is shot. I think there must be more computing power in this camera than they had when they went to the moon. Once again thanks. CHEERS Vic.

PS and thanks to all who replied. CHEERS Vic.

Alarmingly for those brave men who went to the moon, that is almost certainly true.

Even today's simple calculators have more.

Amazing what was achieved with so little isn't it?

It has come to my attention recently that we are living in the future!

Indeed but the electronics was highly specialize and only could do one thing and that's it so you don't need a lot of power if it's highly optimized.

If they didn't the USSR would have done the best they could too prove that don't you think?
