K5 - Something Loose or Normal Behaviour?

Hi,

I've noticed that something is moving (loose) inside my K5 (bought last Thursday) I can't see anything, but if I move the camera from side to side I can hear and feel the movement. Its not the battery or the lens and I can't see any obvious movement in the mirror assembly. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

that's most likely the anti-shake (SR) mechanism inside. turn on live view and jiggle your camera a bit, if its the same thing moving, then it is the SR mechanism working

enjoy your k-5!
