Nikon D500 clicking noise when Shutter priority mode is on live view.
Hi,
I need your help. My Nikon D500 suddenly makes a clicking noise when it is set on Shutter priority Live view. It is silent when live view is not on.
All other modes are silent in live view. Only Shutter priority has this issue.
While it is set to Shutter priority Live view, if I move the camera without touching any controls, buttons, etc. I can hear a clicking inside the camera. I changed lenses and it still makes a noise. It's in the camera. This is only mode when I hear noise. Any suggestions are appreciated
Thank you.
Found this on the web. It might be worth looking at.
I've been experiencing a clicking sound when the aperture of my lens changes during live view when using manual focus, I don't know if this is meant to be happening or not...The clicking sound in live view is caused by the fact that the maximum aperture of your lens changes with focal length (i.e. it is something like 18-55/3.5-5.6).
The D7500 live view uses the actual selected aperture for the live view preview. When you zoom the lens and the maximum aperture changes, D7500 has to adjust the aperture blades to keep the actual aperture constant. That causes the clicking and is quite normal.
If you have a constant-aperture zoom like 17-50/2.8, there's no clicking sound as there's no need to adjust aperture when you zoom.

It's the aperture changing as light levels change. If you have an "E" lens, mount it and see what happens. E lenses use a stepper motor instead of the mechanical linkage to set the aperture. It's almost silent.

Thank you. I have an old series e lens. I'll try it.
