I posted on the firmware thread about my problem, but am choosing to start a new thread for this specific problem. My camera that just arrived had lens chattering ONLY when using OVF, but not when it would focus viewing through the EVF or LCD. Also, the histogram would not show up in the OVF. I discovered that shutting off Power Save Mode eliminated the focusing chatter when using the OVF, and the histogram returned.
The lenses do still chatter whenever I power up or power down.
Does anyone else observe these things? Is Power Saver Mode an known issue? I am not sure what is "normal".
The camera and lenses all have firmware ver. 1.01.
Edit due to incomplete info above:
This was a used body with 18 and 35mm lenses. They all arrived yesterday with ver. 1.0.1. It was not until late evening that I took everything out. I don't recall if there was chatter initially yesterday, but after I went through the menus and made some changes, the behaviour described above was observed. And to be more specific on the behavior, the lenses will chatter when I power up or power down. If Power Save Mode is on, then the lens chatters when I bring the camera to my eye for OVF (auto switch from LCD to viewfinder), it chatters again when I half-press for autofocus, and chaters once more when I lower the camera from my eye. Autofocusing from with the EVF or the LCD does not produce the chatter. Now with Power Save Mode off, the lenses will still chatter whenever I power up or power down.
