Sony A6500 internal movement felt during non-use - image stabilization?

[shooter71]

I have a A6500 and when I have the camera on, but just hanging on to it waiting for my next photo opportunity, I am frequently feeling through a small vibration coming from the camera body.  My first guess is that this is the optical image stabilizer trying to stabilize the camera even though I am not even trying to take a picture.  The camera is just hanging from me neck or siting in my hand.  Do others feel this as well or could there be something wrong with my camera?  I am hoping that the camera is not constantly trying to keep the camera stabilized as that would seem to be a battery drain for those times I am just keeping the camera on waiting for my next shot.  

 

Looking for input on what others are experience on their A6500 and if they feel this small amount of camera body vibration/internal mechanism movement.

I don't have the a6500 yet, just the A6300. I use the Power Save function to turn the camera off automatically, it comes back on instantly when the shutter button is partially pressed.

 

It may help to save your battery if the IBIS is kicking in. I suspect it should not do that unless the shutter button is pressed.

It's a CAMERA, not a CaMARACA. I run all over the place with mine and haven't felt it rattle. Stop shaking it so hard.

I realize some of this is just poking fun, but just to be clear for those on the serious side, this is not when I am shaking the camera.  I am just holding it in my hand and I can feel a slight vibration through the body due to my small hand movements.  I again, suspect it is the image stabilization system working.  Just curious if others feel the same and this is normal or something else.
