X-T20 operational sound volume? (acoustic noise, not image noise)
1

This is a pretty nitpicky question... I just purchased a new X-T20 with the 18-55mm lens. I haven't seen any reviews or anyone talking about the operational volume of the X-T20. I only have a X100S to compare it against and that camera is pretty much silent for me. When my XT20 is switched on and I'm in a quiet room I can hear faint sounds from body of the camera, a bit like fan noise. If you put the thing in the fully automatic mode with the Auto switch it really gets going, almost sounding like the focus and exposure are continually hunting. This continues until you lock focus with a 1/2 shutter release press. Is this normal? In an an outdoor environment or a crowded room these noises would basically go unnoticed. Maybe this goes for all models of camera? I don't have experience with any other Fuji cameras other than the X100S so I thought I'd ask. Thanks!
