I just got a Canon HF S100. Bought it off Canons website refurbished for only $599.

Came in today and I immediately noticed that there was a sound coming from the camera from any kind of soft shaking motion. This only happened when the camera is off. It sounds like a ball bouncing around in a bigger ball. I hope someone can tell me if this is normal and what might be causing it?

Thanks

^no. if your OIS is making noise you got a problem..


The noise your talking about is normal, its just the little drop down lens cover that comes out when you turn it off. Thats why you dont hear the sound when the camera is on correct? Your fine, nice snag.

thanks for the responses.

I do however find it funny that in the box they sent the camera they game me 2 return address labels with a RMA spot on them. I guess better to have them then to not...
