thats the anti-dust mechanism in action bro...if scared,might as well send to the service center for inspection....

hehe... is it the "trrrrrr" sound ? hehe

I had the same experience too, and was very afraid somethin is wrong with my A550
However, the guys here assured me that it is all right. Yes, it is the sensor cleaning mechanism. I have no problem till now also no problem using my alpha.

soket : Do your pictures come out ok? If they do then, it should not be the Steady shot problem.

Look through your viewfinder and look at the SSS indicator. Is it always full bars and flashing? If it is then it is a SSS failure and you need to send your cam in for servicing.

In the mean time, you can still take pics. Just turn the SSS to off.

If you find that your lens have difficulty focusing to and from infinity, then it may be a case of gear stripping of your lens. Solution, use another lens or use manual focus if you do not have another lens.

Then go buy another lens to replace the kitty lens.

I dont think it is the SteadyShot vibration... since bro soket's vibrate when turning ON and/or OFF. I believe it is the sensor anti-dust mechanism at work...
ie the trrrrrrrr sound.
I think it is the anti-dust mechanism la

Yes is the anti-dust mechanism, whenever ur A550 turns off, the camera itself will vibrate the sensor to let the dust come off (although I did not find any effectiveness on it)

i use cyberclean...quite ok for now, so far no problems lo.....................but if u like the lemon smell lo

Why no ppl comment my pic geh?

no need kejam, take it positively, take it as a challege to improve urself to handle bad situation and to overcome it!

oh, but there is one thing i really hate, SUPER HATE. is videographer, they
sometimes thinks they are the bigger, they pushes u, try to stay out their way. sometimes, they will scold u in the face if u step into their frame, making u 400times harder to shoot then the 'small problem of people walking into ur frame'...and their stupid video light will KILL ur photo.

kayu?

go mcd la..safer..

a bit sked tt at mamak d..

i think he probably would only bring a550 + cobra + 70400G + either 1680z or sal16105( or sal17250). no point bringing all lenses IMHO.
so probably a bag that fits for a body + lens + another 2 compartment for lens and flash. i'm not sure for a bagpack , but if a sling bag a crumpler 5/6mdh is enuff
