Introduzione

If your camera has been exposed to high heat or prolonged periods of time in high temperature conditions, your camera's image sensor could be shot. A bad image sensor can cause a very distorted image or in some cases even a completely black screen when turned on.

Thanks for this, very helpfull.

I needed to replace the shutter assembly.

For this, next step is to remove the metal top of the camera (a screw on each side and 2 screws in the flash shoe below the spring).

After this the 2 screws on top of the shutter assembly can be removed.

The shutter assy can now be removed although it is somewhat easier if the tripod mount is removed first.

My mode selector is not changing mode as it should, it seems like a contact failure. What shoul I do?
