Sorry for such a chimpish question, but I just bought my DVX and when holding it and tilting it forward and back, I hear a small rocking sound.

It's like something is gently opening and closing.

Can you please let me know if this is natural and what is actually happening?

Thanks,

peter

This is normal (believe it or not). I'm told that the clunking is caused by some component of the optical image stabilizer.

oh sh#$% ! its broke.. send that piece of junk back.. Just kidding ; ) Ken is correct I have a DVC 80 .. (essentialy same camera) it does it too.. They all do it. I have seen this question asked 100 times I bet.. Anyways.. I hope you enjoy your camera..

Man you guys are no fun

thanks kindly.

It was this forum that motivated me to getting one finally. Look forward to speaking more with you all.
