K-50, strange sound.

erephus · 08-02-2013, 09:06 AM

I received my K-50 just a few hours ago. I like the feel of it, haven't experienced so much yet.

The store where I bougth it from are closed, and will open next week. And I have a question that I feel slightly nervous about.

When moving the camera from landscape to portrait, or for any other direction for that matter, there is a sound from the camera house. Tested without lens, battery, power on and off, the sound is there. There is nothing visual though if I remove the lens and move the camera house. If I use the sensor cleaning founction the camera shakes slightly and the sound from the sensor cleaning process is pretty audible?

Is this normal?

Most likely the SR mechanism, perfectly normal. https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/general-technical-troubleshooting/94122-b...ntax-dslr.html
