Re: X-T4 noise (fan or IBIS?)

Did you ever figure this out? I just received my X-T4 and I am hearing a related noise. I have good ears and I hear a high pitched frequency noise coming from the back of the camera body when I tilt the camera around in photo mode. It is loud enough to record the noise using my phone. The noise stops when: 1) I stop moving the camera like putting it on a table, 2) I put the camera in playback mode 3) the frequency of the noise changes to be less noticeable in video mode, but it is loud enough to faintly hear it in a video recorded using the camera in a quiet room.

This noise is on top of the fan noise you describe, I hear that fan sounding noise as well, that fan noise I assume is normal as it doesn't bother me nor am I able to hear it when filming.

Here is a video of the noise, youll have to turn up the volume to hear it.  If you hear 15,000-16,000 hz tones clearly, you will have no trouble hearing the noise emitting from my camera.  Those that can't hear that range, consider yourselves lucky.
