waynexu1998 Posted December 25, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 25, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Upon noticing the focusing sound made by my 50 APO, I heard a slight rattle sound from IBIS, it’s not loud but when I shake the camera it is more obvious. Just wanna hear what you guys think and if you guys also noticed. Merry Christmas! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 Hi waynexu1998, Take a look here Does your SL2 IBIS make any sound?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
setuporg Posted December 25, 2019 Share #2 Posted December 25, 2019 Yes, I hear that and wonder if IBIS should be turned off when walking... Or whether it's draining the battery... Wonder what others think, and whether it's bad for the camera to have it on while walking with it for a long time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeicaR10 Posted December 25, 2019 Share #3 Posted December 25, 2019 Waynexu1998, I have no noise whatsoever from the SL2 and my SL lenses are church quiet, i.e. near silent. Merry Christmas! r/ Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted December 25, 2019 Share #4 Posted December 25, 2019 On my Lumix S1R, I have the choice to set IBIS to take effect only when the shutter is half-pressed, or all the time. Leica, naturally, doesn't bother us with this choice. I had assumed that they chose half-pressed. My SL2 seems to work that way. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
setuporg Posted December 25, 2019 Share #5 Posted December 25, 2019 I'd not call the IBIS effect noise, I feel sporadic vibrations, like haptic feedback from an iphone. BTW here's the noise a real ibis makes: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Glossy_Ibis/sounds 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeicaR10 Posted December 25, 2019 Share #6 Posted December 25, 2019 Setuporg, Good question. I usually power down my gear when hiking or walking especially long distance. Even for short distance, I have never heard any noise from the camera and lenses are nearly silent when used. Merry Christmas! r/ Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott kirkpatrick Posted December 25, 2019 Share #9 Posted December 25, 2019 (edited) Never! I use the Ms with 28 and 24 mm focal lengths. Example, shot in a hurry (tired guests, tight space, M10-D was at hand with 28mm): Welcome, dear visitor!

waynexu1998 Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share #10 Posted December 25, 2019 I just noticed the noise actually came from my 50 cron APO. As I turn off prefocus, no noise is present anymore which is somewhat odd, I don’t know exactly how prefocus works but as I turn it off all noise went away.

As I turn off prefocus, no noise is present anymore which is somewhat odd, I don’t know exactly how prefocus works but as I turn it off all noise went away. The SL2 uses Panasonic’s DFD AF system. See in the video below starting at 1:16 for an explanation on how a camera with DFD AF moves the motor of a lens to achieve accurate focus. With Pre Focus set to On, the SL2 will scan a scene continuously in order to predetermine a likely focus point and move the AF motor constantly as the scene changes. This speeds up the process of acquiring focus considerably when a shot is actually taken, particularly with the 50 Summicron-SL and the 50 Summilux-SL, IMO, with the Super-VE 16-35 probably as well (haven’t tested it but noticed how fast the AF works with this lens) and makes the SL2 feel really snappy. I love it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frame-it Posted December 25, 2019 Share #16 Posted December 25, 2019 the title should be "does your OIS make any sound"..a vibrating/rattling sound from the actual IBIS system would mean a serious defect and terrible images, if any at all 😋 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
