Originally posted by Schmidt Thanks all for your detailed replies. I'll try and answer each one of you in turn:
Canada_Rockies: I should've stated from the get-go that the sound is there regardless of whether sounds are on or off, and no matter what the speaker volume. Sorry about that. But yeah, I too hate all the beeps and noises too, and normally disable all audio queues.
Giklab: The vibrating piece of which you speak may be completely normal on a K-5 ii – I can't tell you cause I don't have one. Just a guess, but could the vibration you're seeing have anything to do with sensor cleaning? I have sensor cleaning turned off.
Crewl1: Wow. That sound you caught came on at exactly the same mine does. But it seems much more distorted. Was that distortion in the audio, or does the K-5 actually sound that way?
AldaCZ: Does that clicking sound come on about half a second (maybe less) after switching on, and can you hear it with the camera at arm's length? That could pretty much answer my question.
Yes it is coming from the speaker not a half a sec after being turned on. - We more sensitive have a bad time in the present day. Most of the electronics(phones etc) has its "amplifier" shut down when not in use (Powersaving?) and when you start playing the music it makes this "surge" or "pulse" in it´s output. I believe the developers at Pentax have to know about it.
