Canon Powershot SX30 is making a noise
1

Hi - I hope someone can tell me how to fix this: My SX30is is making a strange noise when zooming in and out. Has anyone out there experienced this and Is there anything I can do about this myself? I hope some one can help as I go on holiday in two weeks.

Thankyou in anticipation

They all make a noise zooming in and out but when that noise starts to sound different it could be a sign that the camera is developing a fault. The motor or the gears could be wearing out. If I were you I'd take a back up camera just in case.

I once had the low clicking noise on a G11 when zooming in and out so took it back as brand new. Could be the gearing on lens as suggested
