Hi
I don't know if this is normal so I had to ask.
When I tap the back camera or around it sounds like something is loose. I don't have camera issues, but it doesn't sound normal and it bothers me because I can hear it when I throw the phone on the bed from a short distance.
Are you experiencing this?
Yes, those tik tik what you hear are the lens. They moving forward and back, I think around max a 1mm, the system is electromagnetic to let them move forward and back to get focus, zoom some kind of stuff like that.
I don't remember if the system working exactly like that but close.
Mystery solved as I have it too, all we have, who don't have it do not have good ears..lol..

Dear fellow forum users/Z1 owners,
I'm a new user of a Sony Xperia Z1. I've been using my phone for about a week now to take photos, and I've noticed that there is a problem with the camera display. When I move my phone to take a photo of another subject, the display actually lags behind and sometimes freezes for a second before finally catching up with my movements. Do any of you face similar issues?
Another question I'd like to ask, would be the vibration/movement of the lens as it refocuses, especially on macro shots. It makes this small "tick" sound and vibrates while attempting to focus, something which I've not experienced on other cameras. Is this natural or is it a hardware issue that I should get Sony to check?
Thanks for taking your time to read this post, and I look forward to hearing your responses.
Cheers,
Sonynoob
I must say - never heard for that problems.
I don't have that issues, my camera is working great, no vibrations, no lag - full HD recording or shooting picts - all works great.

Just tested the camera in a quiet environment and I must say, it seems to produce the 'tick' sound before every shot...it only gets worse in macro situations.
Same goes for me. I think it is a normal thing while camera struggles to focus.

Had this lag too the other night trying to shoot outdoor. I don't know if it was because too much stuff running in background or if it's the camera, only happened once.
Today i noticed something strange, when the camera app is started you hear a noise like a little fan spinning in the back of your p30. Put your ear near the camera lenses and ket me know
Yep, lol.
It probably has something to do with the OIS.
It's been two days since I started using this phone.
Today, I can hear an excessive sound coming either from the camera lens or the front speaker. {Noise heard better from front side of the phone}
This happens when you try to shake or flip the phone even gently. I know usually the camera lens on every phone makes a little noise.
But this is extreme. It's almost like there's a tiny piece of hardware broken inside and it's moving even if you shake the phone gently. I either did not observe this issue or it wasn't there for the first two days.
Can anyone confirm if it's the same?

Yes, even in mine there is a kind of muffled noise
Hi guys.
It's from the cameras. If you try this with the camera app open you will see that the noise stops.
Optical Image Stabilisation most likely. Camera lens can move to handle shake.
I don't hear anything noticeable from mine. Just a VERY slight muffled noise if I shake it while holding the lenses right up to my ear, but nothing I would notice if I wasn't specifically trying to find a noise.
So by complete accident I noticed that whenever I shake my 11 Ultra, a strong rattling sound comes from the top portion of the phone, like there's something loose inside. After a bit of testing I assumed it's the OIS from the wide angle, since whenever that camera is used, and the OIS kicks in, the sound when shaken becomes very small. But anyways, is this normal?
This may sound like a strange request, but please, could you people shake your device and give a feedback here to know if it's just my unit?
It’s normal.
Ah ah by accident too, i noticed the same few days ago.
And when i change camera lens in pro mode, i have a little sound similary as haptic.
That's reassuring, i am not the only one. But why we have this thing ?
It's the camera and OIS. It's normal.

It’s the stabilization module inside the camera shaking. It’s a moving part so it’s basically floating when you’re not using it. When you shake the phone you make it move inside the camera, thus the rattling noise.
And obviously, it’s for stabilizing the camera when you’re moving so you don’t get the blur effect.
Thank you guys for your feedback, good to know that it's normal. Have a nice day everyone!
Hello,
There's a strange rattling noise when I move the phone back and forth like something is loose inside the phone near the camera module. Does anyone else have the same experience? Is this related to the gimbal/OIS or a defect? I don't remember if I had this from day one, just noticed it a couple of days back.
Regards.
I have the same thing, Chinese version. Noticed from day 1, no issues with camera. I'm assuming it's the gimbal
Having something similar when i play games and there is vibration, only noticeable at night when there is absolute silence. I suppose its the gimbal, no problems whatsoever, and only noticeable on no noise at night.
Yes, it is the Camera stabilization system and it is natural.
