New Pentax K200D, no beep when focusing: Anyone else out there able to shed some "light" on this "white" and no beep?

What was the solution? I have the same problem with mine (sort of). It beeps, but so faintly that you have to put your ear right up next to the camera body to hear it. I did figure out where it eminates from; I took the lens off and set it to timed shutter release (so that I could here it beeping continuosly, and it comes from inside the camera behind the mirror. Is yours audible now, or just barely faintly beeping?

well put it into a different focus mode like one focus instead of continuous or just do manual focus. there should be no other motor sound i love my hs30exr have had it for almost 2 years.

Hey, I hear the beeping when I'm taking the video and when the video is played online. It's more than irritating. It's a defect. Also, the volume is way too low. I'm irritated that these critical things aren't right.

Has anyone received an official response from Canon on this issue? Specifically, the nature of the issue (hardware/software). I have the same problem. Autofocus outside of the widest zoom setting does not function. The camera lights up focus targets and beeps, but the focus is clearly wrong. The camera is NOT in macro mode.

I also have a noisy video. First there is the constant sound like water from a faucet and second is the sound from the auto focus clicking like morse ccode. Anybody else have this issue? Is it possible to get it replaced from a good batch? Or all items in this model have this issue?

I don't shoot video with the camera. Only sounds I've encountered are a beep when auto focusing and click when you take a picture.

I truly don't know, that's a shame. Have you tried tricking it by turning it on WITH the lens cover still on, like it's saying, and then removing it to see if the message goes away? Then see if it functions normally after that. Other than that, I have no ideas or suggestions, sorry. I haven't had this problem. I'm sure a local camera shop could help you troubleshoot, possibly even for free if it doesn't require a repair. :)

So far on my Pentax K1000 it flashes each time I take a picture requiring a flash, I guess that's its internal mode sending a signal thru the hotfoot.

Hi MRK. Thanks for your update!As I said, I checked that it was not on mute and still nothing. I actually tried what you said yesterday, but just in case I tried it again today and still no playback sound, no shutter sound... Nothing. I can see the volume bars go up and down but I still hear (guess!): Nothing.This is not my first PowerShot. I truly love them and, even though the playback sound is not perfect, is still does give an idea of how things are going.Oh well, already contacted Amazon for an exchange.Nice to hear your luck was different! Enjoy!

i hear this "beeping" as i describe it, as well, and have found others on youtube that experience this as well with this camera, it is quite annoying, although its not nearly as loud as you make it seem.. most people dont notice it even, but once you do it is quite annoying... i wondered if i got a defective unit but after finding many others that also have this it seems to be just how the camera is , i still have 20 some days to return it and i probably will because of this, oh well.

Hi again. Just tried mine out while recording a video and zooming in and out just as you asked, and it's silent. Sorry -- it does seem that you've got a lemon.

My DLP was making a loud beep also. I pulled out and checked the color wheel. It was not spinning freely as it should so I replaced it. However, it didn't effect the BEEP at all. It still does the beep once in a while. Usually when it's been on for a few hours. What I do when it starts to do that BEEPING is to turn the set off for about 3-5 minutes then turn it back on. That usually corrects the issue for another few hours for me.

I've been using the camera for about 3 months or so and was hesitant about using the auto focus/auto exposure because my last Canon video camera not only made noise, but it continuously unfocused and refocused throughout recording. I switched to all auto mode just to "see" how bad it was and haven't gone back since. I use Premiere Pro editing software and the audio is clean (we run a small soundboard and there's a tiny bit of hiss from there that the denoiser filter removes completely). But we hear no camera noises at all.

The first time I used it I did get a beep, but the second ( last ) time I used it I noticed also that there was no beep?! So I just had to try to time it and "peek" when I thought they were done. Sorry that I'm not much help! Same problem here....but I do think I'm making the best waffles I've made and can do a lot quickly when I have visitors.

I seem to have the same problem. There is a faint buzzing/hissing noise (coming from the lens area) whenever the camera is on, and while filming video this noise is magnified many times. What I'm wondering is whether this is just a standard problem, or whether there is a subset of these cameras that make the buzzing noise, or whether there is anything we are doing "wrong". Edit: Well, after some more testing and looking at video taken with this camera posted on youtube (there are plenty), it seems like this is normal. Slightly annoying, but I don't think it's noticeable when you are filming outdoors. Anyway, I'm stil happy with this camera as it has an amazing combination of features, and I can really find no other faults with it. The 720P video quality is as good as or better than I would expect, and the sound seems great as well (aside from the buzzing).

i finally sent it to the nikon repair center (look on their main website for information) along with a photocopy of my warranty card and they fixed it and returned it. i hope yours is still on warranty! otherwise i have no idea how much it would cost to fix it. i've lost the "fun" momentum anyway and no longer even enjoy it. a hundred dollars down the drain. good luck with yours.
