Clicking noise from Note 9 camera (see video)

Hi all

Does your camera make a clicking noise when the app for camera opens up or you toggle between the camera options?

Exactly like this (this is s9):

My Note 9 does, it happens when the variable aperture camera's physical shutters quickly open and close. Since they are physically moving to change how much light reaches the camera, you can hear them click as they open and close.

Thanks. So this is happening even when you switch between live focus, auto or pro options?

Yep, if you watch the right side camera, you can see the shutters adjust and click into place when you switch between those three modes as well.

Its normal. Older phones have done this. The note 8 does it. As mentioned its the mechanical OIS mechanics.
