Default Little noise inside my Minolta Z10...

Hello !

When I shake my new Minolta Z10 from back to front and front to back, I ear
a little noise inside, just like a piece of plastic travelling inside (it
seems to be near the viewfinder, but it's dificult to locate...)
I borrough about that...
Is it normal ?
If somebody has the same camera, can he tell me ?

Without this noise, I think the Z10 is a very good digital camera for a low
price !

Thanks for your answer.

Been answered in another group or two.

Some cameras sense orientation and the machine makes a noise as it
switches. Mentioned in at least one manual I have seen. I hope yours is
one of them.

No, the Minolta Z10 dosen't have an orientation sensor.
the noise sounds "cloc"...

I don't have a Z10, but I very briefly owned a Minolta Z1 which made a
considerable clunking noise as a result of the lens barrel being rather
loose. You could hear the clunking even when the camera was still inside the
box, when the box was moved. Does it sound like it might be that? That was
more when the camera was moved side to side though, not front to back.

Others mentioned the same thing about the Z1 so I guess it was a fairly
common thing, at least with the early models. This evidently is normal for
some cameras, e.g. at least some Olympus models have a quite loose lens
barrel which reportedly is deliberately designed that way.
