I don't know, but it doesn't sound normal to me. I suggest you take it
back to the shop and compare with an identical model.

I hope Robert is right: I know of one camera with a similar note in the
book. It is related to the auto-rotation of images in the LCD viewer, if
I'm not mistaken.

Here you are, under "Trouble-shooting"....

14: The camera will make sounds caused by internal mechanical movement when
it is shaken.

Answer: The sound arises when the lens moves. This is not a malfunction.


I knew I had read it somewhere.

Robert.
