New to XF300. I hear a noise like a loose piece close to the lens part when cam off

Hi...

I am new to XF300, to the forum and to professional filmaking. So please forgive me if I seem ignorant to things...

I bought the camera 10 days ago motivated by raising the level of my videos and creativity.

When it arrived I immediately noticed a noise like a loose piece/component coming from the mid part when I shake gently the camera while turned off. (close to the ND switch / the IRIS ring) If I turn the camera on, the "piece" seems to mechanically be engaged and the noise of a loose piece disappears.

Could one of you owning a XF300 please advise me if this noise is either normal or abnormal?

Thank you very much.

it may be the optical image stabilization. I know the hv30 cams did this. when power is off, if feels like something inside is loose and shaky, but when you turn it on it put it in motion and its fine. maybe the same thing.
 
I see... tranquilizing comment... thank you.

The question now is: will this "loose piece noise" be something that XF300/305 owners have also noticed? The answer to such question will help me determine if I should quickly return the camera for warranty or just simply learn one more thing about this camera.
