R5 Power Off problem (with Sigma DG HSM 500/4)

I have a problem with the R5. I think that the camera do not pwer off completely. The problem is since FW 1.6.0.

Symptom: If my Sigma 500/4 on the camera, after power off do I hear every 2 seconds a clicking sound from the objective. It will not ending.

Can anyone check it?


Thanks Boot
 
Hallo,

I do have testet:
- RF 24-105/4 no problem
- Sig 105/1,4: no problem
- Sig 500/4 switched power off, see discribed problem
- Sig 500/4 power off and opened batterycover:
no clicking sound, but accu down to 5,9V after 20h
- Sig 500/4 power off from energy saver (not switched):
It sounds for around 3 seconds like a humming machine, after that the clicking sound.
(This is new!)

// The Sig are adapted through ef-rf-adaptor with aperture ring.//

Comparing Sig 500/4 on Fuji-X-T3 (adapted with fringer):
- switched power-off and power off from energy saver: no problem
If I switch on/off, I hear a sound from the objectiv like driving from/to a defined position. This I do miss if it connected to the R5.


About the clicking sound

I think the clicking comes from the internal lens-group (focus/stabilization):
- 1th a quietly double-clicking - from internal lens group, according from activating focusing and stabilization
- 2nd a quietly sound for one second, like focusing and stabilization is furthermore activ
- 3rd a little bit noisier click. It sounds like no power to the objectiv and the lensgroup is falling
- 4th gap less than 0.5 seconds start with 1th

At the moment I do not dare to connect the Sig500 to the R5. I'm afraid that the lens will be damaged, especially now that the hum occurs.

Thank You for helping

One more testet: I was unshure about lens retraction - the function was off.

After activating:
At the first clicking cycle the objective is driving in the same position like on X-T3. In difference to X-T3: Do I power-on the lens hold the position.

Thanks for the reply. I have turned off both, unfortunately no change.


For FW 1.6.0 I never had problems... Is it the FW or a coincidence in time? If it is a coincidence, why does the lens work on the Fuji? I am confused....

I have deassambled the objective and found a micro break in a cable. After repairing I have no problems. Maybe a different timing between X-T3 and R5 - I dont know.

But the most important thing is: There is nothing wrong with the R5....
