A85 focus noise

[vtanner62]

I bought my wife an A85 for X-mas and now, after comparatively little use, the camera makes a clicking noise upon startup and when you press the button down half-way to focus. Has anyone else experienced this? I know the camera is under warranty, but I just wanted to check for known problems before I send it in.

Thanks,
Vaughn

My a75 have been making noise when focusing, starting and stopping all the time from what I can remember. The pictures and speed of my camera are not affected by the noise.

The noise is a common question here in the forum. I believe that consenus is that the noise is related to the autofocus. Some forum members have reported that they have had their cameras sent back.

cheers, Zeke
