Camera rattle

This is interesting. The camera has a rattle from the area of the popup flash. I don't think exposure is not the same as when flash is used. Flash normally cause a speed of somthing like 1/200 I think. I'm getting much faster than that 1/400 or more, depending on the settings. So its not as simple as it thinking it is using a flash.

I will check this out.

In your case did the camera just think it was using a flash or was it more confused than that?

The camera rattle you can hear is the orientation sensor.  It tells whether the camera is in landscape or portrait mode.

It will have nothing to do with your exposure issues.
