I didn't know you could rotate it.

Hi Dean,

yes, it has been a feature since the very first Pentax SR in the K100D:

The K10D review also has a larger image for the set-up:

Apart from SR and AstroTracer, on the K-1 and probably many other recent cameras, there is "auto level correction" that rotates the sensor to get the horizon level (within limits of course).

Generally that rotation is not as crucial for shake reduction in still photos, but it does help and is something that lens-based systems cannot do.

Cheers

Jens
