Can hear something rattling about in my 400D

[Borats Baby]

Hi all.

I can hear something rattling in my Canon 400D. I know the flash mech can be a bit noisy, but this is something else. At a guess, it sounds like a bit of plastic, maybe 2 or 3 mm in size. I've had the mirror locked up and given it a good shake, but nothings fell out.

The camera still works, and this rattling has been about for a little while, so do I leave it, or try and get it sorted ?

Whats your thoughts ?

It could be the little relay that tells the camera whether it is in portrait or landscape. Very quiet rattle. Nothing to worry about.

Sound like it may be the orientation sensor.

Ok, I wont rule it out, but I dont remember my camera always making this noise. Its only the last few months I've noticed it in roughly 12 months of ownership.

Maybe I just never noticed it before ?
