Hi, i have just purchased a second hand L830, once i start to zoom in there is a whistling high pitched noise - cant really describe it any better than that but there is a noise that obviously shouldn't be there. If i put the camera on a flat surface it stops pick it up and it starts again. Zoom out and it stops, zoom in and it starts.........you get the picture so to speak. Also is ther anyway to see the total number of pictures that have been taken during the lifetime of the camera ? The seller stated the camera had only been used once.......i did find a few pictures stored in the camera memory. So either the seller is not telling the whole truth or it was damaged during shipping to me.

Thanks ford any help

It could be normal. My L820 does that as well. I believe it is just the auto focus at work. How loud is it? With mine it is just a subtle whistle like sound. Almost like a ultrasonic pitch.

Anyone had a chance to look at the video ? Also to my second question is there anyway of seeing the total shutter count number ?
