Just got a new R6 mark ii. When I shake it has a rattle. I assume that it’s the IBIS (yeah I know, never assume) but I thought I’d ask before sending it back. Takes great photos and everything works as it should.

sounds like a good way to void your warranty...


some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

How? I’m not shaking it like a child’s rattle.

It's the IBIS, and the rattle is normal. It should only happen when the camera is powered off.

Do people usually shake their cameras? Because I've never heard that rattle and I've had my r6 mark ii for quite some time now lol

You don't have to shake it to hear the rattle. I heard it just moving the camera around installing the battery, my camera strap, etc.
