randy_kayle Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 <p >Hi have a question.<br> I have had my Nikor 70-300 VR for about 2 years, and now notice when I was at an air show with D 90 and the focus setting, Dynamic - Continious focus mode.<br> I am hearing like very fast clicking even when I have it focus on a large object. It dose not do this on Sigle focus..</p> <p >Anyone have the same issue?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_ Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 <p>The 'noise' may be from the VR motor. If your images are in focus, you may not have a problem. If you would like to do so, you could send the lens in to Nikon for a checkup.</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy_kayle Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 <p>It seems like it is the focus motor trying to make focusing, you see the focus idicator flickering.</p> <p>Images are in focus</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evannorth Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 <p>if the subject is moving, the noise would be the vr latching on when the af refocuses. try switching to vr active, or, if the shutter speed is high enough switch vr off. i havent tried mine on moving subjects, but it sounds normal to me.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_in_PA Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 <p>Turn VR off, see if it still does it. If it does, it's not VR.</p> <p>From your description, it sounds like it might be a problem with the lens' AF, imho.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_strong2 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 <p>I think it may be the VR locking on a subject - mine makes a clicking noise as well, but when I turn off VR it goes away.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
