I just purchased a STF 8300M when ever I establish a connection I see the red LED on the back flicker and I hear a noise that matches the LED flicker. Its very loud finally figured out it was the shutter hitting the stop pin, its almost like a stutter. Is this normal? This is my first SBIG camera so I have nothing to compare it to. Thanks Kim
What you describe sounds exactly like what my ST-8300M does at startup, it is probably normal. First time I powered up my camera it scared me to death, I thought something was arcing inside.
It's normal! I hear it also when I power it up. Pretty loud clacking noise that you'll get used to. Larry Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
