strange noise x-t10

[cameraM]

Hi guys,

I Just bought an x-t10 And first impressions are pretty good.

 

I Just noticed a strange noise/vibration when you switch from shooting mode to "play" mode (when you press the play botton to open the photos gallery and last pics taken).

 

It is a sort of internal vibration And It happens only when the camera is hold at certain position...

 

Is it normal? Or is it something that needs to be fixed?

 

Sorry if my question may seem stupid but i am not an expert!

 

 

Thank you!

It can be a lens noise. Try the same without lens attached.

Don't worry about it, it's the aperture on your lens that "reset" itself into its default position.

Thanks for the replies.

I actually made a test and without lens there is no noise/vibration. So my next question is: in my proevious camera (sony nex with 18-55 kit lens) i never noticed anything like that, does it mean that the standard Fuji 16-50 lens is a little less quality? I also noticed that the camera does not have an automatic distortion correction, a thing that Sony had instead.

It's nothing more than just the aperture resetting itself to the default position. Why is there a worry because a moving mechanical piece is making noise ?

Also, the standard lens for the X series is actually the 18-55 F2.8-4, the XC 16-50 is made of the same quality glass but with plastic instead of metal. I didn't even knew they had a kit with the XC lens.

 

Long story short, don't worry about. The camera knows best what it has to do.

AFAIK, the X-T10 camera does have an automatic distortion correction for Fujifilm (Fujinon) XF and XC lenses.

Telling about XC 16-50mm - it's excellent lens, don't worry. Fuji just has a bit different logic of operations.

The optical+digital quality result from your XC 16-50mm should be superior to Sony 18-55 lens results, at least in JPEG.

 

You can judge yourself by looking at Photozone.de charts there:

XC 16-55mm

Sony 18-55mm

 

By pointing mouse over "Distortion" chart, you'll notice that 16-50 has dramatic level of optical distortion, but Fuji camera corrects that very well, so as a result border/corner sharpness and details will look much better on Fuji comparing to Sony. Fuji sells XC 16-50mm cheaper than XF 18-55 because they saved a bit on on metal and on aperture ring, however the glass inside is of excellent quality.
