Listen to the attached file.
Is this the noise some users complain about?
I recorded from the internal mics. The sound increases when zooming in and when I move the camere. Zoom 100 and handheld dvx results in an constant singing from the optical element.
Is this normal?
Or maybe cause I as a musician fooling around with filming, my dvx fools around with - singing?

Thanks for replying, ncje.
So its not normal.
But what could that be?
As I bought the camera used, but its still under garanty: should I
a) give it back
b) send in to panasonic
c) dont care and dont film very quiet nightscenes?
BTW: it´s a DVX100BE, 1 year old, with 840 hours (I know, thats a lot. the overall condition is very good)
 
Man thats a lot of hours and Id suggest a lot of it is where the heads actually werent in operation. How much did you pay for it? I hope you got a good price.

As its still under warranty Id contact a service centre and have it looked at.
 
ncje, I got it for 1700 €, and they pay 2300 at ebay for the ones with under 100 hours...

But I found out where the sound comes from:
Its he OIS. No sound when OIS is turned off.
Quite obvious, isn´t´it? :-)
