New FujiFilm XT30 Autofocus Beep Crackles?

[theeightsixty]

Hey all. I just got my new FujiFilm XT30 today. When you click the shutter button and the camera autofocuses, it give the auto focus beep alert. However, when this happens, it seems to distort or crackle as though the speaker is blown. 
Is this normal or did I get a defective unit?

Thanks!

Anyone?

Have you tried changing the volume setting to see if this has any affect?

Also do you notice any oddities when other sounds such as self-timer beep or shutter sound are played?

Hi thanks for responding!

Hi thanks for responding. I did try to lower the volume and it still makes the crackling noise. I also turned the volume off and it goes away. I have updated the firmware as well.

The tricky part is whether or not there is crackling when the other sounds are played because they all use the same speaker. One thing to try (to pin down if the speaker is bad) is to turn off the mechanical shutter, turn on the electronic shutter and use each of the sound effects for the shutter sound. [This is on page 191 of the manual]. If they are also messed up, the speaker is most likely fried.

I’ll give it a go.

Here’s a video on my Instagram of the issue. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHf2GhFpe1r/?igshid=1sz7z8s6kdi0y

After watching the video, I can confirm that my speaker sounds exactly like yours. Nothing to worry.
