Something inside sliding when tipping the camera 90 degree up-right
edit- but not in live view, where you can actually hear the SR mechanism straining.
Sorry, no proposal how to test SR-system.
Regards,
Will (Pentaxophile), what are you mean by "edit- but not in live view"?
I made quick and dirty test with SR Off/On and here are results. Left is SR Off and right SR On:
Picture taken from the calender on the wall by hand held (without tripod), shutter speed 1/20s and aperture f5.6. Picture are cropped from full size image. According this test SR seems to work.

So, you can expect it to make a noise, typically a dull thud, unless you are pressing the shutter release button.
The clunk is SR for sure.
People keep saying 'it's the shake reduction'.
In case it's not obvious, it's actually the whole sensor assembly.
Simple to see - take the lens off, lock the mirror up, and look in through the front while you move the camera about. I haven't done this since I did it with the K10D, but I don't imagine it's much different.

Any proposal how to test SR-system?
There has been some discussions before link
I'm interested the sound because I fell with the bike and the camera (K-x) was in camera bag in the bike basket. K-x seems to work right and picture's quality seems to be OK and K-x has no external signs of shocks.
