M50 Owners: Does something inside your camera "click" when you tilt it forward and backward?
1

Something in my M50 sounds like it's loose and when I tilt the camera forward, I hear a tick or click sound like something is sliding, then coming to a stop, then if I tilt the camera backwards (like pointing it toward the sky), it makes the same sound.

Now you may have seen me talking about this in the EF-M 22mm thread, but now I'm really confused because I just drove all the way to Best Buy to play with their demo model and it does the same exact thing. It was hard to tell if it was a quieter sound or if the store was just too loud to hear the same effect, but something was definitely clicking when I tilted the camera forward and then backward.

It sounds like gravity is making some sort of part inside slide or roll to a position and then stop. Even if I tilt the camera very slowly, there's a certain point where it will move and then make the *tick* sound.

I tried to search google for M50 rattle and stuff like that and basically got no results, so I'm calling on you all with M50s to see if yours does the same thing. Mine is a Mark II, but as I understand, the Mark II just has some extra software features, so I don't know if that will make a difference.

Please help! I need to know if I should send it to Canon to repair, or if it's just the way these cameras were manufactured and there's nothing to repair.
