It is a common problem not only limited to your unit. Look at the thread below for more information.

That's the [current] nature of the CMOS beast. Learn how to move your camera and all your wobbles will disappear.

"Wobbles weeble but they don't fall down."

Try using different shutter speeds. I usually use cine mode and lock my shutter at 1/48 using exposure lock and don't experience noticeable disturbing wobbles even if I walk.
