I just got a Canon PowerShot A75, which I really like. My friend has one and after doing some research I decided to buy one. However, I have two problems with it:
1. The backlight has two very noticable lights on the bottom. They shine up from the bottom like two little flashlights. I don't recall seeing this on my friend's a75, is this normal? Here's a (bad) picture of it:

They are much brighter in real life and are very prominent in low-light situations. My mom has a cruddy Kodak digital camera and her LCD is way better than this. A75 owners - does yours look like this?
2. The camera started making a funny noise when the lens is used, such as when the camera starts up, shuts down, or tries to focus. It didn't do this at first. I muted all the sounds and it still makes it. It sounds like something is grinding, in a bad way. For example, when the camera is first turned on, the lens comes out, and once it's fully out, it goes creak-creak. It doesn't sound too healthy, but maybe I just never noticed this on my friend's camera. I recorded the noise with my headset. This is what it sounds like with the camera sounds on and the creak-creak and grinding noises. I turned it on, let the lens come out and sit for a second, then shut it off. Here's the link:

If these things are normal, please let me know, otherwise I'll RMA it on Monday. Thanks!
