stam6882 Posted March 13 Share #1 Posted March 13 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi Just newly acquired my SL2-s in very good condition. When powering on the camera I notice there is a faint noise sounds like a small fan inside the body. The noise is more apparent when I activate IBIS by half pressing the shutter. I only notice the faint noise in a quiet room. I couldn’t find any reference if SL2 has an internal fan for heat dissipation nor fan noise elsewhere hence asking if those having similar experience please? I have been using this camera for 3 weeks outdoor and only realise this yesterday when testing indoor. thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LD_50 Posted March 13 Share #2 Posted March 13 No fan. You’re probably hearing IBIS. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stam6882 Posted March 14 Author Share #3 Posted March 14 Even IBIS is disabled and when the camera is on, I can still hear a faint whirling noise in a quiet room. I would assume there’s some electronic noise being generated inside the body even no IBIS? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted March 14 Share #5 Posted March 14 All digital cameras produce a whining noise, some more audible, some less. And that’s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stam6882 Posted March 14 Author Share #6 Posted March 14 ok got it. Mine seems a bit loud so perhaps due to aging. I am using M lenses so not related to AF motor noise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gyros still need to run to lock the sensor, otherwise it would just flop about. Gordon 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
