My Nikon Coolpix is making a weird clicking sound?

Last night I was taking a bunch of pictures with my Nikon Coolpix S610 and it was working fine until about 20 pictures in, when I noticed it was making this weird clicking sound ever 2 seconds. It sounded sort of like what the lens sounds like when its about to zoom, but it was very abrupt. I'll add that the zoom function was working fine. Also, the clicking stopped whenever I turned the camera upside down. I tried turning it off and leaving it alone overnight, but when I turned it on again this morning, it made the same sound. Is there a setting I have it on that is causing this, or should I get it repaired? I've also heard reading in other message boards that this might have to do with a defective battery. Any thoughts?
