K01 'white noise' static sound from inside camera

footloosiety · 12-01-2012, 10:46 PM

Hi there new poster here but longtime browser.

Just bought a k01 and have noticed every time its on that the camera emits a faint noise similar to the static sound on blank Tv channels. You have to put your ear close to the camera to hear it but its definitely there. Is this normal?

Its not the clunking sound or the noisy af that others have mentioned. Ive tried disabling SR and that doesn't change anything. It starts the noise from the second the Lcd turns on to the second it turns off. Anybody heard of this before?

It's Dust Removal (check the manual) so don't worry.

Sometimes leds that back light lcd screens make that sound. I heard it in several smartphones and monitors i had. Don't panic you can't do any thing about it.

Its probably the SR. Even if its disabled, it still has to hold the sensor in place.

I had checked last night for this on a P&S camera I had and it didnt make the sound, but when I set my K5 in 'live view' mode just now (I forgot it even had it last night), the camera made the same sound. Thanks!
