Anyone experiencing "clicking" sounds when autofocusing? It happens only when depressing shutter button down halfway. It's very audible.

Yes...this is normal from what I understand. I think it is the VR making the click.

I've been using this lens for several months now and I do not hear such a sound as described. You should probably have it checked out.

I have to return mine, 'cause there was this "shifting" of the image in the viewfinder when pressing the shutter half-way down. I've learned that it is the autofocus locking-in on the target or subject and maybe that is the "clicking" sound that your hearing. I have a Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 VC and 70-200mm f/2.8 VC in Nikon mount and I dont have this issue. Anyway I decided to return it because the "shifting" of the image is too visible for me and feel like the QC is subpar on this lens.Hope this help.

I have used this lens about 2 months with about 2500 shutter releases and have never experienced this problem.

I have probably taken over 1000 pictures since my purchase of lens. I have not heard this problem. Call Tamron and speak with them. This is the second one I have

That is noise from the Canon M. I have the same problem. It sounds a lot better on records with less internal noise.

mine is ok,but if you hear a noise when you have it on autofocus mode,that noise is normal(its like ka,ka,ka)

There is a long wait period between fully depressing the shutter button (this is after focusing with a half press) and capture.By the time the picture is taken the moment is well over.I have a Canon G3 - it does not have a similar issue, however Canon's support is unwilling to acknowledge that there is a problem.Locking the exposure prior to the shot fixes the problem, but then you have to do this for each shot and it means another flash.

According to manual, yes, you will need to press and hold several buttons (shutter, silly and delete) for 5 seconds or until speaker icon disappears. Personally I don't find the noise level to be obnoxiously loud on this toy!

seems to be an epidemic. same problem no autofocus. if I use the zoom to get in focus then pics come out ok but not good.

Hi there, sorry for the late response but we just started using this. The shutter delay is basically non-existent, it snaps as soon as the button is pushed which is awesome! Highly recommend!

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.

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.

No, only when you want to focus, then that is normal. The there is a delay before the next shot but one can skip that if you want. Best camera we've had, great close-up shots.

I haven't seen that happen at the start of a shoot, however, I've seen it with a busy natural background and people in the foreground. Sometimes the zoom gets antsy and refocuses. I've learned to shut down the autofocus to take care of that problem. One thing I did notice, however, is that the zoom aprature is a bit noisy and can be picked up in quiet environments very audibly. That drives me crazy, so I went w an external low-pass mic to solve that issue. Beautiful camera, though.

I believe the clicking you hear as you pan the camera is due to change from day to night mode. The sound you hear in not from the motor.

The autofocus is a little noisy, if that's what you mean by 'lens mechanism'. No other issues that I can think of.

It is a noisy lens, but so is the 50mm f/1.4. When back focusing it sounds a bit like a small electric toy car (it doesn't have an ring ultrasonic motor) and when locking focus there is a small click like sound. That's perfectly normal.

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

The motorized sounds you are getting are not normal in my experience. I have no sounds from the unit during video and no sounds out of the ordinary during normal everyday use. I would look into a return/swap out for another camera.

For some reason, Canon seems to use FULL TIME Continuous AF - which is active even when you're not touching anything - and turned it on by default. Very annoying feature. I didn't realize this either until I popped on a noisy EF lens and it just wouldn't stop auto-focusing. I suspect Canon decided this would somehow make the camera "easier to use".
