Moto G4 Plus Camera clicking noise and moving lens

[AC Question]

Whenever I switch on the rear camera on my moto g4 plus, the lens makes a clicking noise and I can see it move backwards and forwards...is this normal?

Mod note. Moved to the G4 Plus forum for more visibility.

No. It isn't normal, for me and my mum at least.

Never faced that

It's auto focus.

I have the same problem. Bought my Moto G4 Plus Nov. 2016. After I mounted it on my motorcycle, the camera broke. The loads it sees while going fast on bumpy roads must be too much for it. Camera now continuously auto focuses, and never settles. I can hear the focus servo moving continuously as soon as the camera is turned on. Here's an image that was taken with the broken camera. I'm still under warranty, so I'm going to get a new one as soon as possible. Does anyone else have Moto G4 Plus mounted on their motorcycle without any issues? Wondering if I shouldn't mount it on the bike again. Hopefully I just got a bad one.
