Moving part in DVX?

So I finally got a DVX yesterday. I bought it new from an authorized seller. Problem is, there's a moving part inside of it. The camera shoots fine and I can't notice any problems with it, but when I tilt the camera vertically, you can hear something moving back and forth. It sounds reasonably sizable for a moving part, at least 50grams or so maybe, but I'm not sure if anyone here has had this problem. I'm wondering if I should return it or perhaps send it to Panasonic. Thanks!
 
It is the lens! The lens kind of float inside your camera, that's the OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). You only hear that sound when the camera is turned off.
Don't worry about that!

Same thing happened to me when I got my DVX. I thought the heads were broken, I called up the store I got it from and they said it was normal, I was so scared my DVX was broken..
