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 Â 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. Â 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...
