When switching into video mode from photo mode or vice versa the main lens’ OIS kinda jolts it around which makes a rather loud click.

I’m on Android 14 and the latest Google Camera update.

      The issue didn’t exist for me on Android 13, the telephoto lens always made similar noises when changing zoom levels or even shaking the phone but apparently, that’s just a thing that happens rather than a bug.

          Now that you say it, it doesn’t seem to happen every time. It actually may be depending on how I hold the phone or something?

          Whatever the case it’s a pretty weird issue still.

            See if it’s still within warranty and if it’s the case send it back to Google, the lens might be faulty. If not, try to get a quote from a repair shop that can replace that lens. Your issue sounds definitely like a mechanical problem.

              It seems fine otherwise, the “jolt” is just momentarily when swapping camera modes. Sorry if I didn’t clarify very well.
