Should i be worried? Clicking sound when zooming out of 5x telephoto. Only when slight pointing up

Hello everyone!

I can hear the clicks from the 5x telephoto lens when I zoom out, on the S26 ultra, only when the camera is pointed slightly towards the ceiling (see footage).

Is this how the 5x lens should work on Ultras, is this normal OIS or something else?

I can even hear it from like 5 meters away if it's not so loud in the room.

Another thing.. it happens rarely when i switch from 5x to 1x for camera to start flickering (last 2 videos), or from selfie to back camera (happened on snapchat once), or also hear some buzzing sound when switching.

Any advice or suggesting are welcome :)

Is this normal with 5x telephoto camera? /S26 ultra

Hey everyone! (my first reddit post)

I've have the S26 ultra since it came out (my first Ultra phone).

I've been using cameras but only today I noticed a "problem" with the 5x telephoto camera. (See footage).

It mostly happens when the phone is pointed at the floor to start stuttering.

I would like to ask if this is normal, and if it is normal for the lens to move and make noises like this.

I know about OIS, but is it really this much?

(I also updated the software today)

(I used the auto clicker in video so i can film better)

Tip: Turn the volume all the way up to hear🔊
