It’s normal for your smartphone camera to shake when you shake it, but don’t shake it too much! | Smartphone roundup

Many of you may have noticed that when you shake your smartphone, the inside of the device, specifically the camera, makes a small noise like “clattering” or “bratling”.

This time, 9TO5Google posted a small warning article about this issue.

First of all, regarding the issue that the smartphone makes a “clattering” sound, this is completely normal.
This is the sound that sounds when the lens or sensor of the camera that has OIS hits the internal structure.

Also, this sound seems to be especially prominent in Galaxy S23 Ultra, Pixel 6, Pixel 7, etc.

Even in Japan, there have been reports of many models making an “abnormal noise” when shaking, but I’m sure many people know it’s normal.

On the other hand, what is interesting about this article is that it is forbidden to swing too much.

In short, the OIS of the camera is not so easily broken, but it can be damaged if it is shaken too much, so be careful.

In other words, even if the rattling sound itself is normal, if you shake it too much, it may actually cause a breakdown.

I’ve done it many times, “I’m worried about it, so I’ll shake it”, but it seems better to stop doing this.
