Well in that case, I guess my 4t is probably not unique. It does bother me
that the camera occasionally exhibits behavior that I cannot predict and do
not understand. However, if at least one other camera out there does the
same thing sometimes, I won't interpret the post-exposure beeps as
indicating that the camera is nearing the end of its life. Still, it's quite
strange.
Nobody else has noticed this?
