Does the Pentax shake reduction have active/passive modes?

Question

VicSEO always mentions the fact that Pentax SLR's have shake reduction built into the camera.

On Nikon VR and Canon IS lenses, there are two modes of stabilization. One is for those times when you are trying to hold still and take a picture of a stationary object. The other is for those times when you are trying to pan along with a moving object or when you are in a moving vehicle trying to take a picture.

I assume the shake reduction can be turned off for those times when you prefer not to use it, but how does Pentax address the issue of needing different algorithms for shake reduction for different situations? If this is not dealt with in the camera properly, I highly prefer the Nikon-Canon approach to putting it all in the lens and giving you the option of choosing the proper mode.

...and the Sony, too...

Bubbels - I understand the basic mode of operation. I am just trying to find out if this on-board shake reduction allows for an active and passive mode the way Nikon and Canon lenses to or if it's one-size-fits-all.

Answer 1

They do have a mode button"Shake Reduction (shooting mode only)
The button works as follows:
Turn the lever to enable or disable shake reduction, when enabled the Shake Reduction icon will appear on the viewfinder status bar when it is active (during the 'half-press' stage of the exposure).
