Panasonic G7 emitting a hum when on - is this normal?
1

I just got my G7 and love it except for the fact that it emits an audible hum when it's on. I'm not talking about when using it, just when the power switch is turned on and it hasn't gone to sleep. It almost sounds as though there's a cooling fan packed in there somewhere, although it's a bit more of an electronic hum, sort of like an old tube TV. My girlfriend has a Canon EOS and it doesn't make any sound except when focusing or the shutter is closing so this was quite a surprise to me.
