I updated my Sony A9ii to the newest firmware update (3.20) today and now every time I hit the shutter (when in silent mode) to take a photo there is a very strange zapping noise, sounds like a laser. The noise is specifically coming from the left side of the camera body where the headphone/mic jack, USB terminal etc are. If I put my ear to the side it is quite prominent. 

Camera was working perfectly fine yesterday before the update. Not sure what I can do or what my options are. I need my camera on silent mode for work everyday so I think I'm in trouble here.  Any help would be great. Thanks.

      African Safari

      Do you know anything at all about photography, cameras, etc., or was this a purchase because of the trip? If this is your first entry into photography, ignore everything anyone tells you about settings, it will just confuse you. Put the camera in Auto and shoot, you'll be much happier.  Conversely, if you know about such things as shutter speed, apertures, ISO, Depth of Field, etc. etc., then you should already know that there is no such thing as a 'best setup' for an outing that will vary a widely as a safari. You will encounter everything from action to static shots, landscape, light, dark, the entire gamut. If it we me, I'd shoot in manual and make adjustments for each setting.  My wife and daughter went on Safari a year and a half ago. My daughter took her Nikon. My wife is not a camera person so I sent her out with a Kodak Easy Share 16MP something or other set on auto and told her to just press the button. We have several of her shots framed in 8 x 10.

      Anyone else interested in Sigma's new 20-200?

      Could be a good travel lens I guess. I'd wait until there are some reliable reviews.

      You have left it until the last minute. I don't know much about the a6000 but I'd be using Manual mode with Auto ISO. Is it Africa you are going on safari? If so, I imagine there will be plenty of light most of the time. You need to set a shutter speed to freeze any action. I would probably start with 1/1000 sec. and set aperture to just below maximum and let the ISO get the correct exposure. Take lots of shots and keep checking to see if you are getting the results you are after. Good luck.
