Had this from new for almost 9 months, used regularly. Occasionally on start up iris opening motor jeeps running for several seconds. Never did that before. Sounds like a drive mechanism slipping.Should I bring it in for warranty work?
Recently returned from warranty repair. Entire lens assembly replaced and looks like the chintzy on/off switch as well. Working fine now, totally different sound on startup. Thank you for the encouragement.
Canon has it now managed to capture 35 seconds of the noise. This should not happen as the unit has always been within operating temperature and humidity boundaries. Either poor design or quality control issue. No machine should make noises like this...
