Re: Startup noise on K1. Normal???

Same noise here on start up. Dodd's Camera, where I made the purchase, said it's the  stabilization mechanism centering the sensor. No way I can dispute or confirm this, but he's the only Pentax guy I've ever encountered in a retail store FWIW.

My camera is set for dust removal on startup and shutdown......no noise on SD.

I was immediately concerned when this first happened, but 5,300 shots later all seems well.....except that noise??? The image stabilization subjectively works fine as well.

It would be good to get a definitive answer on this. Do some K1s not do this?
