Canon A1100 makes clicking sound: I understand that's a mechanical process, but does anyone else get the same sound, or is it just my unit?

I have the same camera. It's perfectly normal. It's just the camera focusing.

If you hear a click before and after focus and release the shutter in your camera is totally normal....switch the VR off and you will notice that the click disappears...not big deal is totally normal...actually i have a few lenses that click in some way when the VR or OS or VC is ON....for me the results are that really matters...however..without the Vr if the noise of "click" is there then you should call nikon or if you can return for an exchange....good luck...I have thus lens and i made an extensive research about it...plus, I have another lenses like the 105 sigma OS macro and tamron 70-300 VC that some way make some "click" when the VC,OS, or VR is on...

haven't used it yet, but my other Canons (also power shots little different model) do record sound on the video. We'll try it tomorrow and let you know! It should if consistent with all other power shots I've used.

Haven't noticed any clicking from mine, but then I'm not always in the particular room in which we use it. Is it like an electrical snapping sound, or more like a trickling water sound?

What was the solution? I have the same problem with mine (sort of). It beeps, but so faintly that you have to put your ear right up next to the camera body to hear it. I did figure out where it eminates from; I took the lens off and set it to timed shutter release (so that I could here it beeping continuosly, and it comes from inside the camera behind the mirror. Is yours audible now, or just barely faintly beeping?

It does make some clicking sound but it's not that noticeable to me. If it is loud enough for you and it is bothersome you should really try to get a replacement as it may be defective and will soon fail.

I also just bought the laptop and I am hearing this weird clicking sounds constantly! I called tech support and they said it was part of the HDD Protection Settings, so I turned it off and the noise stopped briefly but came back. I think I will have to call again because this is noisier than the 2007 laptop I had before. If it doesn't stop I will return the laptop.

We have actually experienced the same issue with the banging sound. It isn't consistent from use to use or even within one session. It doesn't appear to alter the performance, but it is certainly annoying. It isn't clear what the cause is so I'm hoping it isn't causing internal damage to the machine.

Yes, they do. (Bought mine on eBay last week though...)According to another site, a forum said it may be at least six months before they'd fix the issue, but without guarantee...Your luck's been pressed. It's just a loose part inside under the shutter button, at least that's where the shaking 'click' seemed to my ears.

Hi MRK. Thanks for your update!As I said, I checked that it was not on mute and still nothing. I actually tried what you said yesterday, but just in case I tried it again today and still no playback sound, no shutter sound... Nothing. I can see the volume bars go up and down but I still hear (guess!): Nothing.This is not my first PowerShot. I truly love them and, even though the playback sound is not perfect, is still does give an idea of how things are going.Oh well, already contacted Amazon for an exchange.Nice to hear your luck was different! Enjoy!

It never does for me, I am very happy with it. It is a nice little camera for the price. There might be something wrong with your camera. Perhaps they can send you replacement. Amazon is good doing so. I hope it helped

I do not remember it making clicking noises when I used it. Maybe you got defective unit?

for me, the beeping noise is that it's lost connection to the camera. try turning the camera on and off again. If that doesn't work, call customer service.

It could be the camera is triggering the flash, which is possible for Canon. Check the flash setting and make sure it's not set to trigger the flash.

well put it into a different focus mode like one focus instead of continuous or just do manual focus. there should be no other motor sound i love my hs30exr have had it for almost 2 years.

It does make an audible motor sound, however, in my experience it's what I would characterize as fairly quiet. In a silent room, it's certainly noticeable, but it's still less volume than the shutter of the camera. If it's grinding, that's not normal, but the sound of the parts moving is not unusual.

I hear the motor moving the camera. It is pretty loud. But, don't hear something is clicking.
