D300 Question

[wildhorserunphotography]

I just got my D300 with the nikon battery grip in the mail today and I have noticed something strange about it. Everytime I either turn it on or shut it off it puts out a faint squeaking noise. I have never had this happen with my D200. Should I be concerned?

do you have an image stabilized lens attached Taylor?

[wildhorserunphotography]

Yes, I do. Also, I think it may be the sensor cleaning system. I will switch lenses and see if it helps! Thank you, Stephen.

I swapped my glass and it still makes the noise.

The camera is set to clean the sensor upon turning it on or off. Me, I can't hear it, but others have.

i cannot hear that high a tone, but i think there is a sound setting on the d300. i think a button that i just leave off since i cannot hear it but others probably can.

i cannot find it, probably confused it with the d2x

Ditto. As we get older, none of us can hear the highest frequencies. The camera uses sound to knock the dust off the sensor. I set mine the same way.
