What I have found is on some larger zooms that if you remove the lens from the body while power is on, you can get a rattle. SO turn off the camera before removing the lens.

Of course I know this. But the point is that I found the problem before I got the body.

Yesterday my EOS R arrived. To make sure that this problem is not caused by improperly shutdown in the factory. I put it on my camera, turned on the camera, took some photos, shut down the camera. The problem persists.

One more small point you have to wait at least 5-6 sec after you turn off the camera to dismount the lens.  The R keeps the IS on for 5 sec after you turn it off.
