Weird sound?

[piyoz]

HI, I have bought a K100DS and realised that at times when i shoot in low light (w/o flash), the shutter open for longer time and i will hear a weird noise, I'm wondreing if its normal?? Do you guys have this problem?

Probably the SR (shake reduction) is making the noise?

Try to switch the SR to off .

Hmmm, i seem to have a similar sensation on my K100DS.

But mine only happen if i turn it from horizontal to vertical and vice versa... I also feel and hear as if something is moving inside (just a very silght movement), dunno if any one else felt it?

It is the Shake Reduction mechanism inside the body that is making the noise.

Its the Anti-shake mechanism..
In low light, set your aperture as wide as possible and set ISO to 1600 or 3200...

you can confirm this by switching off the AS...no sound!
