When I tilt my HVX-200 (shut-of) forward and backward I can hear a strange sound. A clicking as if there is something loose. Turning the power on, the sound disappears. It goes without saying, that I am very concerned about this.
Can anybody help me in order to discover this phenomenon ?
 
This is straight from "The HVX book" by Barry Green - when a new owner picks up the hvx for the first time, they usually hear a "click" or "rattle" when tipping the camera back and forth, like there is something loose inside the camera. 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.:-HeadPhones(D
 
it is normal. every single HVX does that. And I bet at least half the HVX owners freak out when they discover this phenomenon while checking out their brand new HVX, and that includes me. Until my extremely frantic phone call to a B&H sales Person.

I didn't even notice. What kind of HVX owner does that make me *looks down, kicking shoes*
 
It's also in the troubleshooting section of the camera manual. Of course nobody every reads that...
 
Isn't it on the box itself too? But yeah, it'd be like reading the wrapper before eating the candy.

I heard that click and thought it was the gyroscope for the OIS system.
