Hi! I just received my em10. Very happy, looks very nice. My 45mm is a little bit tight but nothing to worry about. When I turn the camera on, there is a slight buzz (very faint). However, I noticed that when I half press the shutter, it makes a bit more noise, like a very faint fan. Is it the in body stabilization thing? Anyone else notices this? Should I return it? Thanks!!
That would be the IBIS - in body image stabilization you can turn it off - but it works like magic, better to leave it on I hear it when it is quiet and I am inside, on my E-M1 outside, I can't hear it. most likely nothing is wrong, it's just the sound it makes as the sensor is being shifted to counter camera movement...
wow, thanks.. yes, I was inside and it was dead quiet. It's a wheezing sound, not a whirring sound. Pardon my english.
you have options to keep it on full time, active only during half-press (i.e. just before shot), or full time off
Yes, the IBIS is quite loud when you press the shutter button half way. But what's also interesting, that if you record a movie with the IBIS on, it is very quiet. Does anyone have an explanation for this?
Suggest you read the past two years of posts here about the E-M5...then you'll understand! Before I buy a new camera I read back several months of forum posts so I already know the issues users are asking about, so I don't need to ask the same questions that have been asked many times already.
