Soft Sounding "motor" noise

[fujfinder]

Hi,

I have an XT-20 and maybe I just never noticed it before, but I can hear a very soft motor sound 

like a phantom tiny fan or a hard drive working (no clicking noise, just a soft whoosh sound). I have gone through all the AF settings and even checked the 

sensor cleaner and mic levels. I wouldnt be able to hear it in a room with people talking or outside in a breeze.

It doesn't do this when I take the lens off (both my lenses are Fujifilm; 18-55mm and 50-230mm)

Is this noise normal or is there something going on inside the camera body that I should be concerned with?

Thanks

Edited to add: the noise stops in playback mode.

Are your lens LM? if not then your hearing the focusing motor of the lens.

The 18-55 and 50-300 lenses are also IOS, so it’s likely the in-lens image stabilization at work.  The x-T20 doesn’t have IBIS.

If you switch off pre-af, then the motor sound should stop, and you'll also save battery.

Like Edp says, it could also be the OIS, but you can change the IS Mode in the menu to "shooting only", instead of continuous.

I just got a new xs20, when I turn it on, it makes low constant whirling sound till I turn it off or when I switch to photo viewing mode. Is that normal? I tried turning off the IBIS, it still makes the sound, does your make that sound too? Please help me out, I'm worried if it's a defective piece.

PS: Noise exists with and without lens
