Does this trail cam make any noise when it takes a picture? The SG565F-8M White Flash

Hadn't noticed if it does it does not spook deer. Had 4 straight pics of huge 10 pt did not spook hm.

Yes, but I have not observed a adverse reaction to it other than a curious glance. The noise shouldn't really matter as it is a white flash and that spooks the game more. Great pictures though. My hunting guide is dumping his IR flash cameras for white flash cameras because of picture quality.

It may be the VR, which can make a clicking sound and humming sound. Turn it on and take shots, then turn off and take shots and see if there's a difference. Also, just test it when taking a shot; if it clicks and stops after the photo has been taken, it's the VR and nothing to worry about. VR includes little motors in the lens, so it's just those motors working.

It may be something else that is coming into contact with the camera or the way you have it mounted. Do some trouble shooting record video with it mounted in whatever way you use in regularly, run around jump up and down and do the hokie pokie (should be a great vid) then remove the camera and shake it wile firmly grasping it in your bare hand, then try holding it with just your fingers and shaking it. watch the video to see when it makes the noise. if it makes that clicking noise when you have it in your hand I would definitely contact tachyon for some help.

Sorry for the delay coz this was buried in my inbox. At any rate, that is not normal. The only time you will hear sound is when you are zooming in/out which is normal for camera with manual zoom. There shouldn't be any motorized sound or hissing whatever. I am pretty sure that camera has either a defective mic or faulty video function. HTH and hopefully not too late.

I just got my G9 yesterday, and noticed the noise as well. I read your posts and figured it was probably not a big deal. But I decided to call Canon, and they confirmed that it is the IS mechanism. To get rid of the noise change the IS Mode (under the tab with a picture of camera on the Menu) from continuous to single. Hope this helps.

It makes a slight noise... maybe if there was no TV/radio on and no one talking and you were sitting close to the camera you'd hear it.I've tried to get peoples attention in the past by moving panning the cam left and right- but they never notice it- so I guess it's pretty silent.

only if you're in the fast mode, you'll hear some noises from the motor. I'm using off camera audio so it doesn't bother me much.

yes, it has a flashing green light when it is recording. no noises when the battery is low, change in color of the flashing light.

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 the motor moving the camera. It is pretty loud. But, don't hear something is clicking.

I use mine as a helmet cam and have not noticed any clicking noise while riding, I think you might be right about the loose internal part.

If the lens is mounted and the camera is "On" then you may be hearing the aperture. This is normal. If the lens isn't mounted and you can hear a clunk if you move it this would not be normal.

I just received my SD970 and noticed that it does make a chattering/hunting noise when in full-Auto mode. It seems to do this for 3-4 seconds until the camera and the scene are stable.For whatever reason, it doesn't do this in "P" mode even though I set it to AI-Servo Auto-Focus. So it must be more than just the focus causing the sound.There is a very slight reference to this in the owners manual -- but wanted to verify this is normal operation.

I read all the customer reviews before I bought this camera. Several of the customers who has bought this camera complained about a motorboating sound when they tried to video. When I went to Costco and read their reviews it was also on their writeups. I have to assume it is inherent in this device. This Olympus is the first one I have owned, and outside of the noise I love it. If it effects the video in any way I haven't noticed it.

No, it does not seem to make any visible glow or audible sound when taking pictures at night. I tested it on myself when I first got it, and have a few pretty good night time animal shots including one set of a fox sniffing around right in front of the camera. As skittish as foxes are, I don't think it would have stuck around if the camera made noise/flash-Douglas King

No noise and just a red glow. I've got 6 of these and love them. The bigger bucks seem to pay it less attention than yearlings and does for some reason. The runaway shutter only happens on mine when the batteries are low.

Yes it does have sound and when i play back a video, the sound isn't very loud. On the back of the camera, there is little icons on the right side of the screen. The first one is a garbage can, where you can delete pictures. Press the second button below the garbage can and a screen will come up with Date & Time. Scroll down to the bottom and it will say " Camera Sounds " Press OK and then you can set your camera for whatever volume you want. I hope this helps you out.
