    a200 shakes when powered off

    Hello.

    My a200 started to shake when it is powered off. I supposed that is the sensor cleaning feature. Is it normal?

    Thanks

    Does the manual say the cleaning is performed when it is powered on, or off? It is normally when started up.

    Nope ... your are correct, "kaissa", it shakes as the camera goes to "off" during the sensor cleaning cycle. Also, the lens will travel to "infinity" focus for one second, as it goes to off, in order to "home" the lens (If it is not in MF -> Manual Focus).

    Look, I did not create the optical laws of the Universe ... I simply learned to deal with them.
    Remember: It is usually the GLASS, not the camera (except for moving to Full Frame), that gives you the most improvement in your photography.
