    Hey All,

    I’m a brand-spankin’ new HPX owner, and I’m sure I’m just being paranoid, but I have a pesky question…

    When I use the “Zoom Mode” switch, after I switch from to “Manual” into “Servo” and start using the Servo the first thing I hear is an audible “click”, which I assume is simply the zoom switching over. That said, I’m not sure if it’s normal to hear the “click”. I was a DVX user before and it wasn’t audible with that model…

    Just seeing if what I have is standard, or needs to be traded in.

    Thanks for your time!!

    Don’t worry, that’s just the gears engaging…they all do that.
    Some are just louder than others.
