I noticed this in one of mine as well. HCO Customer Service responded quickly: "The filter in front of the lens is supposed to be floating around when it's not powered."

Never noticed it one way or another, prob only an issue if you are shooting video and using the built in mic. If you think it is abnormal find a photo store that stocks it and AB it with another lens. That's assuming you live in a city large enough to have a camera shop that stocks Tokina lenses.......

I truly don't know, that's a shame. Have you tried tricking it by turning it on WITH the lens cover still on, like it's saying, and then removing it to see if the message goes away? Then see if it functions normally after that. Other than that, I have no ideas or suggestions, sorry. I haven't had this problem. I'm sure a local camera shop could help you troubleshoot, possibly even for free if it doesn't require a repair. :)

There may be film covering the lense or it may have been a low light situation otherwise try a different computer

I think you are right here. I don't believe it is a lens problem as I have see this problem across a couple of lens. I did two things that seem to make a different, the first was I completely reset all the camera setting and second thing I did was up grade the camera fireware from version 1.0. 4. to version 1.0. 9. This seems to have made a difference.

Hey there, I just had this same thing happen to my camera!!! The camera was not dropped or anything and it seemed to just appear out of the blue. One minute I am taking pictures and it looked fine, then I look down and the screen internally is cracked, the outside of the LCD does not have a scatch on it. I am about to send it off to Olympus to get a warrentyl repair, but could use any other instances of this happening as evidence that this is not my fault. Please let me know what you were able to get done.Thanks,Nick

Mine was the same way, thought I'd gotten the wrong lens. I contacted Olympus and they said it shouldn't be like that and to exchange it if I wanted. I didn't want to mess with it and it has become easier to put on and take off without making the mounting too loose for my other lens. It worked itself out.

Although I have never had this problem with this lens, I have seen it before with other lenses. My first thought is that the electronic contacts between lens and camera aren't working properly. They may simply be dirty - try wiping them off with a clean rag. The contacts may also be misaligned where the lens meets the camera, maybe because of something getting in the way or a faulty mount on the lens or camera. I think dirt on the contacts is most likely the cause.

Thanks for the reply. I understand it may be us, not the camera, although I've never had this problem with any other camera. May have to play with the white balance to correct the problem, at least that's what Panasonic told me. Two camera stores couldn't figure it out. Shouldn't be so complicated!

The camera is NOT defective and this is a simple issue that is easily fixed.On the left side of the viewfinder housing is a little, flat, vertical wheel/dial. This is the optical adjustment wheel for the viewfinder. Look through the viewfinder and use the fingernail of your index finger on your left hand to move the little wheel first in one direction and then in the other until the image is sharp. The wheel is "tight" but there are little ridges on it that your fingernail can push against to make it move. You will find that there is one position that will make the image through the viewfinder crystal clear. Sometimes the wheel gets moved accidentally. If it ever becomes blurry again just readjust it.

Mine was doing the same. I found that the curtain was rubbing on the part of the camera in front of it. I could see that face was slightly pushed in, rubbing on the lens protectors when they tried to move. I was able to use my fingernail and pull the face out and now the protectors move freely.

I would at least contact the vendor. If no help, then the joby people. Maybe there is a defect. Be sure to check your camera's fitting, maybe it's stripped.

I think I solved the problem by moving the camera lens away from being over the sensor. I found that I had this issue when the lens was over the sensor but not if I adjusted it. Not sure if this helps anyone else.

Hi - I do not think this is "normal" - mine didn't rattle - that sounds to me like the camera has something broken inside. I would return and get a replacement. It may work great now....but what about the future? However, I am no expert. Best of luck

Not at all. I bought one of these and it came in an original Sony box with all the equipment listed in the manual. The lens is not a detachable one and should be quite secure to the front of the camera. I would return it right away for a replacement. I love this little camera. The motion reduction system is fantastic and that you can record at 24p is great (24p will give your videos a more movie like quality to them.) The camera is a little small for my hands but you get use to that fairly quickly. Return what you have. It does not sound right at all. Good luck.
