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.

Hmmm...but it doesn't occur on APS-C cameras? At least not on kx, kr, k7, k5, k5ii  k30, and ks2.

I hear similar sounds on all my Sony SLT cameras. Never bothered to check what and why. The cause could be similar. Sony has IBIS too.
