IBIS Thud noise?

[Mike A]

Hi all,

Weird issue on my X-T4. I hear a "thud" noise under certain circumstances that I believe is the IBIS mechanism. Can anyone see if their camera does the same?

Hold the camera in portrait orientation with the shutter button at the top. Click the play button to review images. Once in review mode, half-press the shutter button to get back to shooting mode. When I do this, I hear a pretty substantial click/thud noise from the camera. If I hold the camera in portrait orientation with the shutter button at the bottom, the sound doesn't happen. It also doesn't happen when holding the camera in landscape orientation.

Not sure if this warrants sending the camera in or not.

Thanks

Mike

I have just got a new xt4 and experienced the same issue. No apparent problem or damage but odd nevertheless and a bit disconcerting! 
Did you get any responses?

I can duplicate the above results.  Seems odd but doesn't seem to be a problem.

Thank you both for the replies. I appreciate you taking the time to replicate the issue on your cameras. It makes me feel more comfortable to know that it's something inherent to the camera and not a defect (unless we all have defective cameras lol).

Hello,
my camera also behaves in the same way, moreover, by shaking the body a bit, you actually hear some particular noise from inside the camera body. I just bought it ... what do you recommend? Would it be better to return it and change it or does the problem have no particular negative consequences on the functioning of the camera? Have you kept it that way or replaced it?
Thank you so much and have a good weekend everyone !!

I would tend not to worry about it unless it buggers up your photography.  Fuji has a similar banging and clanging around inside  their 80mm macro lens when it is rotated along the y-axis either on or off the camera.  Slightly unsettling but more of a design feature than a problem.  I certainly don't plan to send my X-T4 back until I have a problem.  And this ain't a problem ---- yet.

That's normal.

Similar reports in the X-S10 thread.

Same suspicion - the IBIS module. The X-S10's IBIS module is based on the X-T4's design but at a 30% smaller footprint.

I have the X-S10 but my camera does not exhibit this behaviour though some X-S10 owners do.

I just bought a new x-t4 and I have the same problem.

I just returned from a 3-week trip to Paris and Egypt where I used two X-T4s pretty much continuously and had no problem. I have forgotten about the IBIS thud noise that I verified many months ago.
