Canon S120 making funny sounds when moving it around (in automatic mode)

Hi everyone,
I have a little question for those owning the Canon S120.
I just bought it and I noticed that my camera is making funny sounds when I move it around. Those sounds seem to occur more often when I'm in the automatic mode.  If I don't move the camera, it doesn't make any sound, but as soon as I move it, it does a little "toc-toc" sound (hard to describe, it's like the camera is adjusting something automatically when it moves).  It seems to come from inside the camera and not from outside.  I have owned my Canon cameras before and this is the first time I notice that.
Has anyone else noticed that?
If so, is it "normal" or have I received a defective unit?
Thanks for your help!

Open the MBP.  Place it on a towel so you can slide it around easily and not scratch it.  Take a #00 Phillips driver and take the bottom cover off.  3 of the screws will be longer than the rest.  Inspect the interior for anything that may be loose.
The other option is to take it to an Apple store genius bar and have them do it.
Ciao.

  • MacBook making clicking sound when moved?! not the sms HELPP

    Today, i was using my MacBook and it started to make a clicking like sound when moved from side to side. I have had my MacBook for less then a week so I have no idea what could have happened. The computer has not beed dropped or anything! It is not the sms because I turned it off to see if the noise would still happen, and it did. Also this happenes when the computer is off. I cannot take it to a store because the closest one to me is an hour away.

    Normally, a clicking sound would be an indication of a bad HD or if the Superdrive is trying to read a damage disc. Personally, since its a week-old computer, I'd take a one hour drive than taking the chance of the HD failing after the warranty expired. You can try calling Apple as well (1800APPL). You should still have FREE phone support.

  • Clicking sound when moving computer around

    I have a early 2011 15'' macbook pro, and when I pick it up off a desk (when it's still running) and I turn it a bit I hear a click sound.  I know there's an accelerometer built in to protect the hard drive, is this normal (due to hard drive protection)?  Because I had another macbook pro before but I never heard this click sound.  Should I go and get it checked?
    Any help is appreciated.

    I have the same issue.  For more information, you will find an interesting discussion HERE.
    I will add a question myself, related to Fortuny's post. As Apple puts it,
    " If you must move it [the computer], sleep it by closing the lid or using the Apple Menu."
    I know that, and most of the time I sleep my Macbook before moving it.
    The problem is, it still does the annoying sound if I move it. In addition, I am sure it is sleeping since I am doing none of these actions.
    So it is one of the following: either my macbookpro never sleeps (which might be, given the features of 10.8), or what apple says about the SMS being off during sleep is untrue.

  • My iphone is making clicking sounds when I try to slide it or tap on an app.  I can not make phone calls.

    I hit something on my Iphone to make it start talking.  I also was not able to slide the screen up or down right or left.  I looked around on the web and found out how to stop it from talking,  Now it is making clicking sounds when I tap on an app.  The screen will still not slide. I have to tap on an app about 5 or six times to make it do anything.  Now I can't make a phone call because the keys will not respond when I tap on them.

    i am sorry to say but there is no way to undo a software update to go back you have to go threw your phone provider and have then do a replacement on the phone and just not do the update. when they receive the phone they will send it off for testing and to have the bugs fixed 

  • Qosmio G20: Fan is making a clunky sound when it turns around

    Hey everybody,
    Another problem, but not Vista related! Although that's still a problem!
    My exhaust fan is making a clunky sound when it turns around. I hear it going round and round like a rachetty sound, and then at other times its fine.
    Anyone had this?
    Should I open her up and give it a clean?

    Hi tay,
    right now i do not have the time for this.
    If you can wait some time, i will take some pictures and show you exactly which screws you must take off your Qosmio to disassemble it.
    You must take care with this job, otherway you can damage the motherboard.
    Advice: Do not adventure yourself on an unknown way, it is dangerous.
    In meantime, you can check it out how "hot"(not hot as you know...)your Qosmio is.
    Download the Everest ultimate 2006 edition V 3.50.761, look for it with Google search.
    Run it and see the temperatures for CPU, Processor and motherboard on your Qosmio:
    See:
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmioeverest.jpg
    Run the System stability test (find it under tools menu) for 10 minutes aprox.
    Watch the temperatures at taskar and please report this to me. If it reachs more than 95C for the processor on stress mode, its time to clean the heatsink and all essential parts of your Qosmio. Attempt to the processor fan RPM, too, if they run fast and noisy, you really must perform a clean.
    But it depends on the ambient environment, for a 27C summer day the processor temperature almost get the 90C. this is normal in stress mode. An the fans run without noise. Slow RPM mode.
    All measured in Celsius degrees, for Farenheith please convert it.
    See, I am here, on a typical summer day, 30C right now ,16:40min ,sunday afternoon
    My Qosmio in stress mode is under 91C for the processor, 61C for the motherboard and the fans are quietly. No noise at all. This is perfectly normal for the g20

    PS: thank you for the reward point, very kind of you.

  • IPhone making strange sound when receive all types of message.

    I've bought my iPhone 4S last week and it started making a really strange sound when receiving all sorts of messages (e-mail, whatsapp, sms). The sound is the sound I selected for each one but it loops 4 or 5 times everytime! What can it be?

    If no change after powering your iPhone off and on, try an iPhone reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so. An iPhone reset does not affect any data or settings.

  • Mac making beeping sound when CD is inserted

    Ok so I have been trying to rip a CD, Sugarland: The Incredible Machine, onto my computer for the past week.  At first I thought it was that particular CD, that something was wrong with it so I exchanged it and got a new one.  It is making the same beeping sound when I insert it.  It doesn't show up in iTunes, except briefly to rip 2 songs then spit the CD out.  I tried a different CD, The Eli Young band, and it ripped perfectly fine so I know it's not the computer.  Does anyone know why my computer is doing this with just this one CD??

    In general you normally will hear a whirling sound coming from the cd drive while a cd is spinning. If the cd has any labels on it might make the cd unbalanced then you might hear an even louder vibration coming from the drive. Otherwise as long as the cd is working in the drive and mounting it should be normal. Was the cd not showing up for you?

  • MSI GE60 0ND - Keyboard making squeaky sound when pressed.

    Having this weird issue on my new laptop, out of nowhere I just realized my "w" button is making slightly loud and squeaky sound when pressed. I'm curious if in this product we could remove the key and put it back in?
    Thank you.

    I tried turning off AHCI in the bios which resulted in a bsod on windows startup. I then enabled AHCI again and started up windows. Windows then went into error checking mode and after about 30 minutes had the message that it was unable to fix errors with the system. Booted up normally after that and it was fine, however it took much longer than usual.
    Should I try disable AHCI and then run windows recovery so it puts a fresh copy of win 7 on the drive?
    Edit: I ran hdd tune before trying to disable AHCI, no errors were found and the hdd health was ok
    Edit2: installed https://sites.google.com/site/quiethdd/ which seems to have stopped the sound

  • NO SOUND WHEN MOVING VIDEOS INTO iMOVIE!! something about Mpeg muxed?!?!

    I recorded my videos with my sony cybershot camera - no problems. I can rip them onto my Macbook Pro and watch them in quicktime and hear the sound just fine - no problems. But, when I pull the videos into iMovie HD to edit and try to watch the play back, I see video but no sound!! I looked in the help tab and it said that if my videos are Mpeg 1 "muxed" (or something like that) then I won't be able to hear any sound. Well how do I convert my videos to something that will allow me to hear the sound when I'm editing them in iMovie HD???
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!
    Thanks!

    Welcome to discussions, designerman.
    iMovie can't import MPEG1 or MPEG 2 files, and that's waht you are trying to do.

  • RMBP clicking sound when moved and running

    This macbook pro retina is a few weeks old and i have not experienced any problems so far until today. I noticed that when I move the macbook slightly when it is on soft surface it makes a sort of sound which at first I thought was the fan hitting something, a quick high pitch click. It is like the sound when you move a laptop when its spining a cd. Its almost like the sound a small bell makes. The noise only happens when its awake and open, if I close the screen I can't seem to hear it. The point when it makes the noise is when it moves slightly from being flat to the ground, thats why I can only hear it when its on my lap or on something the rocks. Also something i just realised is that it will not make the sound if I move it around when holding it while the it is running and open, this makes me think that it has something to do with it being pushed together from the bottom. It sounds as if it is coming from the air vents at the bottom of the screen which once again makes me think it has something to do with the fan. Could you reply on what you think I should do? Its a 15 inch screen by the way.
    Thanks

  • Finder hangs when moving files around in Flash Drive

    Hello Apple Community! I just wanted to ask a question and a solution to my experience on OS X.
    Recently, I started to experience Finder hanging on me when I move around files from in and out my flash drive.
    What's happening in the picture was me trying to move the ebook into the 'cmpsci3' folder, but Finder hangs from the point.
    I moved the Finder window and the icon just stays there.
    There is nothing really wrong with the movement of files; the moving does work. The problem is that the small file operations
    window disappeared and Finder just hangs there.
    I tried two solutions already:
         1. Remove the com.apple.Finder.plist file from ~/Library/Preferences
         2. Repair disk permissions on both OS X drive and USB03FD (my flash drive).
    Unlucky for me, the problem isn't fixed. I tried to tackle the problem myself and sometimes I see two Finder processes running
    in the Force Quit Applications dialog. I followed the instructions from this threadTwo Instances of Finder Running, but that does
    not work either.
    I looked around and saw that making a new user would fix the problem. I would like the community's advice on how to fix this problem
    before I do anything drastic.
    Thanks for reading and helping me out!

    I decided to go the long way and move everything where I wanted it to be.  I moved everything around in Bridge, I then synchronized the folder to reflect how it should.  So far so good!
    Thank you all for your help and interest, I really appreciate everything!
    I do have one more question now, I will also start a new thread to see what else I can get, but again thank you!
    I have syncroniced the folder after making the changes, and due to the problem I was having last time I did it again just to double check.  It said there were over2k photos missing so I clicked sync, let it do its thing.  And just to tripple check I ran it again and it is saying the same thing, missing over 2k photos.  What does this mean?

  • Can the row ID number be locked when moving task around in the schedule?

  • Lombard 333 Making Screaming Sound When Aftermarket Battery Is Moved In Bay

    I recently posted in "Using..." and eventually determined that this problem has to do with the (aftermarket) battery I am using:
    Whenever I would disconnect my ac adapter, wake the unit from sleep, or even go to power it up, I would hear a sort of "screaming" sound coming from it and the powerbook would shut down.
    This started occuring just within the last two or three weeks or so, and it was a very off/on problem. After the unit would shut down, I would reset the PRAM and start it back up, and usually it would work fine. I repaired permissions because I had recently installed a Security Update.
    Eventually, I was using the powerbook and went to move it slightly on the desk (while it was running), and I accidentally nudged the battery while it was in the (left) bay, causing the screaming noise to happen again. I moved the battery around in the bay and the screaming was intermittent. Unfortunately, I purchased this battery online and still need to send it back for a refund/exchange, and the battery that came with the unit when I bought it is dead, so I have no way of testing this "the aftermarket battery is crap theory," and I was just wondering if there was anything else I could do in the meantime? I believe I tried the battery in both expansion bays and the same thing happened.
    What if I receive another battery and I have the same problem? I assume the worst case scenario would be that I would have to replace some hardware, but the battery seems to be recognized and charge just fine and I haven't had any other problems with it since I got it just over a month ago.
    Any thoughts on this?
    Any input would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Woke the PB up after it had been asleep for a day or so... it screamed when I woke it up, the UI got funny, and then it was ok... I had the PC card in.
    Booted from OS 9.2.2 disc, unplugged the adapter, had no problem.
    Booted back into OSX, unplugged the adapter, no problem.
    I was doing some work on my wireless LAN settings, and then decided to unplug the adapter so I could move around... it didn't make the scream sound, but it shut off. Restarted. The year in Date & Time went to 1969, but then were corrected automatically when the PB found the wireless network.
    I just unplugged the adapter again and nothing happened.
    What's the deal? Very wierd...

  • 17in Macbook pro making funny sound.

    I have a 4 month old macbook pro and when I move it at any time sometimes it will make a funny tinking sound. It sounds like it is coming from the upper left hand side of the keyboard. If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it. It doesnt seem like it is phasing its performance at all but I figured id catch it before it got worse or something happened.

    It's strange that they did repairs that are apparently unrelated to the reason you brought it in-I wonder if they ran a hardware test or if a work order got mixed up. This sounds more like a repair for something else.
    At any rate, you can try a SMC reset to see if that fixes the keyboard or sleep problem:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411?viewlocale=en_US
    You could also try running SMART Utility to see if it sees any hard drive problems:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/smartutility.html
    You can download the demo and run it several times for free.
    However, if you hear the tink when the machine is turned off, it sounds like some sort of mechanical issue rather than something specifically associated with hard drive failure. Possibly it is just some characteristic of the machine itself and not indicative of anything. If so, the AASP should have been able to tell why it was doing that and explained it to you.
    Might not hurt to run the extended version of the AHT just to check out the repairs and make sure all is really well with it.
    Good luck!
