Aperture blade noise when turning camera on and off.

Hello,

Since I got G7 about 3 weeks ago, I tried different lenses. It was functioning normally. However, at some point, I started hearing noise from the lenses when I turn on/off the camera. Specifically, the noise was coming from the aperture blade.

What's bothering me is that it didn't make this sound previously. After playing with the camera for a while, I have found that the "preview" function that allows you to see the aperture change seems triggering this symptom.

"Preview" function is described at page 100 in this manual.

For example, I got a new lens yesterday which didn't make this sound when the camera is turned on and off. However, after using "preview" function, I could clearly hear the mechanical sound from the lens blades when the camera is turned on and off.

Does anybody have the same issue? Can anybody with G7 confirm if you hear any difference before and after using this "preview" function?

Any comments would be really appreciated.
