Is anyone else getting noises from their lens when it's doing stabilization? I get a stream of rapid, soft clicks and pops when I turn on OIS (and only when I turn on OIS). It's loud enough to be recorded in video mode, and sounds worrisome as I use it!

The lens is brand new, and my kit lens does not have this problem.

Do you mind recording, and uploading the sound for us to hear?
Generally speaking OIS systems will make some degree of noise upon activation of the system when it floats the lens element, so its fairly normal. I guess you'll need to leave the OIS on before you shoot?
