The interchangeable lens (H-H020A) utilises a lens drive system to realize a compact and
bright F1.7 lens. As a result, sound and vibration may occur during focus operation, but this is
not a malfunction.

Depending on the recording conditions or lens used, operational sound may be recorded when
the Auto Focus is operated while recording a motion picture.
It is recommended to record with [Continuous AF] in the [Motion Picture] menu set to [OFF], if
the sound of operation bothers you to avoid recording the lens noise.
