hi. you have problem in lens unit and the weird noise come from to focus gear.maybe you go to the beach or dusty place thats why the said dust or sand goes into lens gear. If you can open and try to clean its better but if not bring to service center and request for cleaning and adjustment.

goodluck my friend

error 99 may be the only error that the camera can identify with the problem. Generally this is dirty contacts in the camera and on the lens. The fix is to rub them with a pencil eraser and ensure no rubber swarf gets inside the camera. ( Hold upside down and use a blower and brush for cameras after doing it. Do the same to the lens contacts and re position turn on camera and see if it works ok now.
Please rate my help++++Thanks for using FIXYA

Hi there just like to informed you that 2 reason can make a noise.
1. low or old battery's using.
Solution: replace it if too old or charged it fully.

2. Lens error. Internal lens guide pin if damaged then the camera goes off with bad noise.

Solution: repair or replaced the lens guide pin.
Thanks & waiting for your feedback.

Did it drop? sounds like the motor is trying to move the lens as you need, but the lens has come out of its tracking. If there is no outside damage and you still have warranty left, you should get it replaced, otherwise it means opening it to place the lens back on its tracking, but this can be tricky.

Try the procedures in this tip.

Since you said it makes noise when you turn it on, the gear system controlling the lens might be faulty. have it checked.

the lens could be the problem.. probably need to send to repair before the warranty runs out

camera lens has problem.
