XL1s EVF - (Exploded View)
Can anyone advise where one might find an explode view of the XL1s EVF. Thanks, Willie
I found this letter in the archieves. Any other input? May 12th, 2002 07:17 AM easyricardo Tourist Registered: May 2002 Location: scotland Posts: 2 since no one replied with a way of carrying this procedure out I decided to get stuck in and give it a go its easy when you know how, you only need a bright lamp, a soft white cloth to work on, a small watch makers screwdriver and cleaning agents remove the two small screws from the outside of the focusing collar seperate the end cap and slide it off twist the focusing ring and the lens assembly pops out using the end of a fine screwdriver lift off the 4 spring ends of the metal retaining ring take out the protective plastic lens cover prise back one side of the plastic tensioner and slip the screw driver point carefully under a side of the lens to raise it up past the clip. repeat for the other side remember to make a note a which way round the lens and protective cover go back in the second lens can be cleaned in situ a metal ring is fitted to the ouside of the assembly. this can be removed to clean the outer housing by simply squeezing the two sides of the plastic centre tube together. it is flexible enough. you can then line up the focus collar with the obvious runners and lift it off assembly is just doing everything in reverse order with practice you'll be able to do this blind folded!! |

I know of no such illustration. But I definitely do not recommend that anyone follow this disassembly procedure.

Agree with Ken -- this is a fast way to void a warranty and ruin a camera.

The complete viewfinder is probably in the back of the service manual, can be bought from Canon (there is one in the XL1 manual). However, the post is for the eyepiece, which is shown in the manual as a complete assembly.
