images_in_light_north_west Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I can hear noise from the IS when using 24-105 F4L IS on my 30D, is this normal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustymadd Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Yep! As long as you mean that it's not that loud, it's totally normal. After all, IS does employ moving parts. C Painter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_symington1 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 You should hear a faint whirring preceded and/or followed by a click. If you hear anything other than that there might be something wrong. Almost certainly your lens is just fine though. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
images_in_light_north_west Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 I have used IS binocs before and not heard a noise so after hearing the normal auto focus and then a new noise comming from my camera had me concerned, I figured some noise, but louder than the auto focus made me want to ask others Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pto189 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Actually the IS of the 24-105 is much quieter than other Canon IS lenses. It isn't normal if you don't hear anything with IS on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjmeade Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Yes, just a slight noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_austin Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Don't let the slight noise bother you. It lets you know whether or not you have IS switched on, without having to look at the switch. Also, that it's working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
