Lens noise

[botty1963]

Hi all. The other day I was in the house and it was dead quiet, and when I turned on the camera I noticed that all of the time it was switched on, the 16-80 lens was noisy - I assume the focusing motor making a noise. I have never noticed this before, on any camera that I have had, although it could just be that I have simply never noticed. The reason I have posted this is that you can see from another post that I have had on-going issues with the number of photos I can get from a single battery charge. The camera body has been back to Fujifilm on three occasions and they have not found any issue with it.

Just realised that Fujifilm had defaulted all my settings so IBIS was set to continuous, so changed to shooting only and will check it when quieter.

Was about to say it's the Ibis

I switched off the IBIS completely and still the noise.

Lens focusing?

It is the IBIS system that is in a parked position. Switching off means putting the system in a parked position which is an activity that also generates a little noise. All cameras of all brands with IBIS do that. Nothing to worry about.

Happy shooting.
