HPX250: Weird sound in camera

[Doug_EX]

Hi,

I don't know if it's just me but today I noticed that when moving or rotating my camera from side to side that there was a strange sound like something was loose in the camera. Now, I'm used to that kind of sound on my Hpx170 (not sure if it's the OIS mechanism or what). But I tested them side by side and the HPX250 does make noticably more sound. Is it normal and I just noticed it (strange) or should I be concern?

Thanks!

Duane

Normal, I cant remember what its from, I think auto focus, but its normal. It is on this forum if you look, but its ok.

It's the lens, the way it's designed. You only hear it when it's off. When it's on the sound disppears.

Turns out it's the pin that enable the rocker zoom (top handle) to pivot. I removed the plastic cover on the handle and looked around a bit before I noticed the metal pin moving side to side. It moves about 1-2mm. Not sure if it's normal. The sound it makes is more noticable than the sound the lens makes.
