redlensandgreenbody Posted March 14, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 14, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) When my MP is shaken (without a lens) I can hear something is moving around inside the body. It is as if a ball is moving sideways. Is this normal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Glass Posted March 15, 2019 Share #4 Posted March 15, 2019 I just tried mine - if I hold the strap so the attachment points don't make noise, mine is silent if I give it a little shake. Do you have film loaded? Mine does, and I could see how that would dampen movement on potentially mobile internal parts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I am inquiring if, at the time of the aforementioned camera shake, when the phenomenon of a noise (not unlike that of a ball rolling around inside of the body) is being observed, there is film loaded into the camera.

It's probably the sound the rangefinder makes when it's being shaken out of alignment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol question: do you have a body cap on? If not, it’s probably that lever that the lens cam pushes against. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, how do you fondle your MP and take dozens of shutter actuations every day if you've got film loaded?? Silly. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
