Canon A1100 makes clicking sound: I understand that's a mechanical process, but does anyone else get the same sound, or is it just my unit?

I have the same camera. It's perfectly normal. It's just the camera focusing.

It does make some clicking sound but it's not that noticeable to me. If it is loud enough for you and it is bothersome you should really try to get a replacement as it may be defective and will soon fail.

I just purchased the Sony HT-7000DH and hear a clicking sound. Were you able to fix this problem? I may end up returning this product.

Hi Wally, This clicking noise is not a problem or a fault, I have had two of these digital angle finders, [first one was stolen] and they both did it from time to time. A close friend found the same with his. After you have changed the batteries if it starts clicking, try turning it off for a few seconds and then on again, this may help. But to tell the truth I never worried about it as it never affected the accuracy of the level and it generally stopped clicking after about 10 seconds. Hope this helps. Merv

Having recently gotten a G11, I was perplexed by this problem as well, saw this post, hit the up arrow on video playback, and voila: sound at last. Somehow I'd missed this instruction on page 33 of the manual: "press the [up arrow & down arrow of the wheel] to adjust the volume." Makes sense, though not so intuitive. One point I'd offer: on my G11 it doesn't matter whether I have operational sounds (shutter, startup, etc.) on mute or at a low setting. Playback audio can still be heard provided one taps the up arrow button. If a number of other people have had the same problem, Canon might want to add this instruction to the troubleshooting pages in the back of the manual.

I haven't noticed noise from the shutter, but there is some noise when the camera is turned on - I suspect from the sensor cleaning unit. Noise, however, is not usually an issue since I shoot mostly outside.

Mine makes a clicking noise too. I wouldn't mind, but the clicking noise is quite loud compared to the machine running on the "Low" setting. I haven't tried this yet, but maybe it only clicks in "Auto" mode? I didn't notice it for the first few days when I had it running on High all the time.

You can check on page 47, item 12 "Sound Prompt". It tells how to disable, and enable the sounds. It also has a chart of what the sounds mean. I have the Canon model, and use it often.

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

Mine does the clicking as well on startup. It is sound activated with a built in microphone. Have you tried it with music?

Yes...I'm hearing a "beeping" electronic sound too. I actually returned my frist Flip due to software errors and also this noise problem. I just got a new one in the mail and it's making the noise too. Not as loud as the other one, but it's still there....and very annoying! If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please reply. Thanks!!!!

Damn, the clicking issue in Amazon's latest batch of NEX 5ns is not resolved. I ordered mine yesterday and it arrived today. Not only does it click during video, but it sounds like something is rattling around inside.

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.

Dear Karen:Thank you for your reply. I have also contacted Canon. They were going to send me to the nearest service center, until I told them about your feedback with the same problem. Thanks for your help. I have received my refurbished replacement. I hope this one will stay function. Jeannette

We have actually experienced the same issue with the banging sound. It isn't consistent from use to use or even within one session. It doesn't appear to alter the performance, but it is certainly annoying. It isn't clear what the cause is so I'm hoping it isn't causing internal damage to the machine.

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.

I've never had that problem although I do know that you really need to hold the button down until you hear the shutter click almost an old-fashioned film camera or the picture won't take. Hope you find a solution to your problem!
