Mavica FD-88 Rattles

I just bought a Mavica FD-88 and so far love it. But I noticed a rattling sound when it records an image. I've used a FD-81 before and didn't notice a rattling like this with that particular camera. It seems to be working fine despite the noise. Can anyone tell me what this noise is and if it's normal? Thanks

I'm considering getting the FD-88 also. The one I tried out at circuit city rattled & the sales rep said this is normal. I tried out a friends FD-73 & it didn't. I can just imagine how many hundreds of times a day the FD-88 store display was handled, I would rattle too :)

You might want to check out more comments about the FD-88 drive on the Mavica Info Exchange archives posted by Dave Wetzel. Some diskettes seem to cause a "grinder" sound while others don't. I also read some folks had the drive replaced, hope this helps. http://www.mavican.nu/

You have nothing to worry about. It's normal. The 3.5 diskette drive is a 4X speed and the noise you hear is normal. All FD83's and 88's will make noise and vibrate a little.

Hi there, I accidentally dropped my LaCie D2 Quadra 2T and now it rattles when I pick it up, move it or shift it around. It still seems to work fine and I've not noticed any change in performance
All I can say is the fall broke a part loose inside, take it part and look to see what that is or just live with it if it works ok.

I recently bought my Canon Powershot SD1400 IS camera and it works perfectly but today I shook the camera and head a small rattle sound. So far, my research online says that it might be the orientation...
Do not worry...the "shake" control (image stabilization) rattles on most cameras...if it didn't, it wouldn't work.

FD-81 ... Can it use the memory Stick Adapter
I have a Mavica FD81, and I do not believe you can use the memory stick adapter with it. This camera came out long before the adapter was available. The manual only mentions floppy disks.

FD-88, viewing LCD in daylight, too bright
You're not doing anything wrong. Sometimes it's just hard to see to LCD. You could try turning down the brightness, or turning off the backlight, but that doesn't work very well either. There are sun shields for sale. I have a FD-88 also, And so far I've been able to see the screen ok in sunlight. But It's winter in Minnesota so the sun is low in the sky, and I can normally shade the screen with my body. Hope this helps.

Canon Vixia HFG40 I bought in 2018. Keeps shutting off. I have a Canon Vixia HFG40 I bought in 2018. It has been working fine for me for all these years. But a few months ago as I was doing a "selfie" video for my English students (I've been doing this for all these years) it started shutting off by itself. Sometimes I'll record for a few minutes then it will shut off. Or I'll turn it on and it will shut off immediately again and again and again, then stay on for me to use it. Inconsistent. Any advice? The battery is good and I've changed SD cards. I'm an American living in Cambodia.

Hi, my Kodak EasyShare Z740 turns off after taking one picture, or even just by focusing. Sometimes the screen turns black, or it flashes the red LED like if the battery was empty. The lens function normally. I tried cleaning the contacts, changing batteries, resetting internal memory, everything. It happens with and without SD card, even when connected directly to a charger. Any ideas what could help? I have the favourites/off/camera button, so anything with pressing and holding the ON/OFF button won't work.
