Strange sound from my Fujix-h1

[bonjac]

Hi.  I am new here and new to Fujix cameras.  I recently purchased an x-h1 and noticed when I turn the camera on I can hear a faint noise as if something is running.  Is this normal? Or should I be changing a setting?  Thanks for your help.

I do not have that camera but if the sound is coming from the lens, it could be normal.

I think you are hearing the IBIS (in-body stabilisation) running, which is perfectly normal.  IBIS is always running when the camera is switched on, even when you have disabled the feature - it is needed just to keep the camera sensor centred.  

Enjoy the X-H1 - it's a great camera.

It is the sound of the IBIS system. Like a small fan running. Best to set IS to ‘when shooting only’ in the settings menu. That saves a bit of battery life.
