V Lux 5 Noise

Just taken delivery of a V Lux 5 to go with a C Lux.

 

On switching on there is a lot of what sounds like white noise. Almost like the shake reduction is grinding away all the time. I have switched SR off but the noise is still there. I have had various "Bridge" cameras and never experienced this noise.

Has any one else experienced this or did I ought to be rejecting the camera? Also the lens drive motor is very noisy and would never be good on a video.

Take it back to the shop and compare it to another example. If the camera is faulty they should exchange it.

Did you buy new or used?

I just bought Leica V-Lux 5 (used) and it has some internal noise, in the area of where the lense is attached, noise reminds of the noise computer might when its ventilating, or an old fridge lol, not too big, but its really obvious when the camera is on, I wonder if you have figured it out and fixed it?
