Yup perfectly normal, I think most DLSR's with unbuilt image stabilizers do it to some degree. It can be quite noticeable at times, it's only the sensor shifting in the body. This is then moved about as required to stop image blur as you press the shutter release.

On the K10D you can lock the mirror up and watch the sensor flopping about! Probably can with the K-5 too, at a guess.

I'm sure you can if only to prove the point, but rest assured it's a perfectly normal Pentax DSLR IS feature.On the K10D you can lock the mirror up and watch the sensor flopping about! Probably can with the K-5 too, at a guess.

Thanks to all for your responses, I'm happier now.

When composing a subject ready to take a picture in landscape I then change to portrait before take the picture, something inside my Pentax K5 appears to slide from one end of the camera to the other. If I reverse the scenario the same happens with something inside sliding back the other way. Is this a design feature associated with the camera identifying which way is up or do I have a problem?
