Clunky noise from HMC 150

[jchristie]

Hey folks

Just got my new HMC 150 today, so far I'm impressed. But I'm noticing that something in the camera "clunks" for lack of a better word when I tilt it from front to back quickly when the camera is turned off. It's the same sound the camera makes when it is powering up, but it doesn't clunk when it's powered up. Is this normal?

Cheers

John, this is the world's most often asked question

This is just the OIS moving about - a perfectly normal Panasonic quirk - nothing to be alarmed about.

It's in the manual too John, but surely you already knew that ;-)

not just a panasonic quirk, alot of cams with optical stabilizers do this.

I love this question.

It's the camera switching from low to high....

Just joking.

Nothing to worry about.
