C300: C300 Fan too loud!!!

[surebll]

My C300 fan has become almost unusable. The Fan is so loud, is there a way to fix this problem. Besides using a Boom Mic.

Ok just took some canned air and blew it through the Air Intakes. That seemed to work. It's a bit better now.

C100 is the same, but changing it to automatic seems to work.

What's that?

There is an automatic fan setting on the C100 which only turns on the fan when it's needed so the fan doesn't run constantly.

This works very well. I dont think the fan has come on yet after I set it to automatic.

my fan comes on frequently, but the only time i usually notice it is if it's right next to my face, it's a built in cameraman cooler

Also take note that if you have the C300 viewfinder extended (pulled back, so as to put it at an angle) the fan is much more audible. Slide it into a locked position (most compact), and there is less noise.
