What is that humming sound my HMC150 makes when it is zoomed fully in?

[NSBFTW]

Bump I need to know what that noise is.

[NSBFTW]

Bump can somebody please tell me what that noise is.

[Allen Ellis]

Is it the auto-focus mechanism? Flip it into manual focus and see if it goes away.

[NSBFTW]

It went away when I flicked it off phew

Glad thats all it was, I was freaking out

The HMC 150 book, by Barry Green, says: "...This is completely normal, there's nothing wrong with the camera. What you're hearing is an element of the optical image stabilizing (OIS) system. When the camera is powered on, the OIS system is energized, and the rattle disappears."

I'm surprised this needed to be a sticky, this was one of the first things I was told about the dvx100 when we used them in school.

I think we need a few stickies on here.

Funny. I was just thinking yesterday about making a post for old times sake about the click /rattle sound to bring the once familiar question into 2020 but then saw this post
