Re: Intermittent Motor Noise FL360L Flash

The only motor in the flash should be the zoom motor. With a prime it should only move to the setting suitable for your 30mm and stay there. I don't have your particular flash, but my Nikon flash also moves the zoom to widest position when you use the diffuser panel.

Did you try with a different lens and see if the same issue happens? And I presume you aren't talking about the capacitor charge up noise typical in most flashes.
