Hi, I recently got my Xperia 5 iii and I noticed whenever an app accesses the camera there's an audible 'click' and I can feel a small vibration in the device.
Does this happen on anyone else's device? Or I got a dud? Pictures seem fine switching between the lenses work.
At 1st I thought it was the magnetic system in the zoom lenses but I don't notice this when switching between the zoom lenses.
Its normal

Thanks.
yes it's normal.....was weird for me to at the beginning.....its theclense working while activating the canera.
I can hear clicking in the cameras when moving with phone quickly or shaking it. Even if camera app is not open. Does someone have that also? I assume it is optical stabilization rattling but not sure. Taking pictures seems ok. Although I notice very little shaking when taking pictures with 70/105 lens. Can someone confirm on your device? Thx.

Everyone has this
On mine, there is also faint electronics-sounding noise coming from the earpiece speaker (when the camera app is open, and the main camera is selected). I assume the speaker amplifier is picking up interference from the camera electronics.
Hi! Xperia 1 III owner here. It's normal that you here those clicks, it makes noises because of the moving lenses in the periscope cam. When you open the camera it move the lenses in place. And when you shake the device it clicks because you're retarded and shake it unpurposely the lenses are moving because of the kinetic forces
normal....no worries

Hi Guys,
Yesterday I wanted to record some videos, I opened camera software, pressed to switch between front a rear camera, then I heard this clicking noise.
From now, this noise is always when I turn rear camera on, or switching from front to rear, also I can feel that something is moving inside when I touch rear camera cover, it's like the aperture would be opening and closing and making that noise.
It's noting serous, everything is working, camera is working fine, tablet is ok as well.
Does anyone has experienced this as well?
What do you reckon, should I bringing back to the store and get a new one?
Waiting for your thoughts on this.
thx
I also noticed it, but with me it sounds more like the shutter (for as far as it is present) opening, just like with a normal camera. Unless you here something rattling near the camera when you shake your TF, I wouldn't make a big problem out of it.
It's an annoying noise, but it's normal. You'll just have to live with it.
ELTinos , you are right , it sounds more like the shutter, I can also hear it when I put tablet back to live after sleep mode when camera software is running.
it's not that annoying but I am concern that this is something that came up just now, I tested camera before and didn't get that noise but if you guys are saying that's normal, then I am calm.
Any more thoughts on this?
Sounds normal to me. My HTC Hero had this from the beginning... Camera is still working after 1,5 years so I don't think you need to worry
Thanks flight777
Just more info, to be more clear on this:
-Clicking Noise doesn't come from speakers
-It's only when I switch back from front camera to rear camera, also when in the rear camera mode, switching between : taking picture <-> record videos
If you could test it as well on your TF
thx Guys , appreciate your responses
It is rear camera's autofocus (solenoid moving lense). It can be also heard while turning on from coplete off.

As been said before, it's just the shutter lens, stop making a big deal out of it.
Rear clicking noise too
yeah, mine just started clicking today...after 2 years with the nexus one.
i can see the lens pulsing when the clicking occurs.
hmmm....

You talking about the N1 or the TF?
Hello. Can you please check if your lumia 1020 has a moving noise like the one that it does when you turn on the camera? I mean if i sligthly tap
on the back of the device, I hear something moving.
Thanks!
The camera on the 1020 makes a few noises that I believe are expected for the design. The camera cover can be heard opening and closing when the camera is turned on or off, the camera moves within the phone a bearing (OIS), and the mechanical shutter can be heard when taking a picture.
When you tap on the back of the phone you're moving the camera module within the phone housing.
Thanks. I was just a bit worried.

Just for some extra reassurance. I tapped on mine and hear just a little bit of noise of parts moving. It's not quite as loud as the sound of the shutter opening when the camera is activated.
Thanks. Same as mine.
At first i thought something was broken inside my brand now S6 but apparently its the OIS of the camera. When the camera is inactive the OIS is loose and when shaking the phone fast it makes a (clicking) sound. When I activated the camera the sound was gone no matter how hard I would shake the phone. I hope thats how the phone is made and I don't have a defective unit. Please let me know if anyone else has noticed that. Thanks.
As far as I know, every phone with OIS will make this noise to a certain extent. On some phones it is more easy to hear, on others its harder, but it is still there nevertheless. No need to worry about it.

Thanks man. I had a Note 4 before and never noticed that.
All phones make noise if you shake it even if it doesnt have OIS its usually the autofocusing mechanism.
That's normal for cameras with the OIS. I'm not sure how they exactly work in smartphones, but my Olympus OM-D for example uses a magnetic field for the 5-axis sensor stabilization. So once the camera is turned on the sensor is basically floating in a magnetic field, and when it's turned off it's "loose" - that's where the noise comes from. Nothing to worry about, it's normal.

Yep, I just tested my S6, and if the camera is on, there is definitely less clicking sounds coming from the camera when you shake it.
iPhone 6+ does not makes that sound.

In daily usage you usually don't really notice it. It's not that loud and takes a bit of shaking. Otherwise they might keep the VCM powered up all the time, but that would be a waste of battery life.
I was freaking out.. Thank you!

I have a s6 that only makes noises when camera app is open.
A sound of moving parts like and sale camera focusing.
If the app is open if if I tap near the camera I can always reproduce the sound.
What could it be. I have an defective phone?

Mine does the clicking sound when off and sometimes when you open the camera app, the OIS mechanism start to shake until obtains focus, kinda scary, I think is showing signs of something malfunctioning .
Yes that is what happens to me.
It's not a good sign. I don't know what to do and if it is normal

Yes. I am getting the clicking sound when opening the cam app as well. Camera works fine afterwards though. How can it be fixed?
This is normal. It's the OIS elements of the rear camera shaking around when electronically deactivated.
This is not a fault and is part of the normal operation of a mobile OIS camera.
Once activated it shouldn't audibly shake. It's operation is similar to most stabilization gimbles when unpowered.

Thanks for the reply but is it also normal that the OIS mechanism shakes until focus is obtained after starting the camera app?
The clicking sound is also present in my S6 with the camera app off. Turning it on romoves the clicking sound.

Normal, all OIS systems (even those in my $3000 lenses) rattle a little when not powered (and make a faint noise when operating in the case of the lenses).
I'm also experiencing the OIS shake upon opening the camera app on my s6. It's done it twice today - I open the camera app and the image shows blurry as it struggles to focus, the lens shakes quite vigorously, making the phone vibrate, it makes a loud clicking noise and the image shakes, firstly for around 10 secs, then around 5 secs the 2nd time it happened. It's happened in both Samsung camera and Snapchat.
Running French OTA 5.1.1 on S6.
Anyone else having this? Is this usual behaviour or a sign of a defective unit?
Anyone else having this issue? I'm getting the OIS shake nearly every time I open the camera app now...

Hi,
When I turn on the camera (rear camera) I can hear some kind of crackling noise when I put my ear against it.
Is that normal? No other phones I've used is like that so I just find it a bit odd
No sound here. My phone uses a Sony IMX260 sensor.

Is it a crackling noise or rather a clicking noise? If it's the latter, it's just the shutter moving into place.
If you shake your phone while the camera is off, you can hear this moving around. But as soon as you open the camera app, it's rock solid. No more moving plastic sound.

its the optical image stabilization .... when the camera is not on it moves around free on the axes points and when the camera is on the image stabilization is working so its compensating for movement.
I stand corrected
I was close though
Does anyone else note 20 U camera rattle at random time? Even when you're not in the camera app, like I'm browsing around and I would hear the camera rattle or switch mode. It would randomy make the same sound when you switch from photo to video.
But with camera on in multi window mode it doesn't do the random rattle sound any more when browsing around. Not sure if my camera or note 20 U camera is loose inside the phone or is this happening for others?

Random Rattle???? Just shake the thing it is loud as can be.
so i believe its normal, MKBHD mentioned it in his review video. as to why this is normal or a thing (which mine does) im not sure.
yep totally normal and to be expected due to the design of the camera.
I don't have one but my note 10+ had a little bit of one in camera. Not really helpful sorry

It is because of zoom lens and optical stabilization of cameras
It's a feature by accident apparently...
Instead of having a landing zone i.e. parking feature so it doesn't rattle...
It's loose so everyone shakes them and the subsequent rattling cleans off the dust and other FOD from the elements.
Of course if the sensor gets dirty...
Another fetish! Let's shake our phones like crazy!
So to solve another problem (not enough battery), make a dummy S pen with a neodymium magnet that slides within. All that shaking moves the magnet in and out of the charging coil and the resulting EMF can charge the battery. Like a shake light, five minutes of shaking gives you an extra 10 minutes of talk time! LOL

Yeah I mean the rattle is fine because of the system.
But say I pick up my phone on my table and use it. It would make the same sound from changing to photo to video 2 second later when I use the phone. Is that actually normal? Because any slight movement it would make that sound.
Heres a video for example. Does anyone else do this?

Similar to my mirrorless camera with IBIS (Internal Body Image Stabilization). It's the lens shake rather than sensor shake. So I always remind my friends and even myself who have phone with OIS camera, don't shake or knock on the phone purposely (some people like to fidget with phone). Just imaging knocking the lens on table, it hurts.
It's the periscope lens that makes the sound. Zak shows this in his JerryRig teardown of the S20 Ultra. It has the same periscope camera lens.
