Hello. Very good video. Very detailed and clear.
You know there is a life expectancy for shutters. And although it is an average value and some will last longer and others less, in the end, each one will fail.
In the case of entry-level cameras like the 1300D or similar: Do you think that a change of curtains solves the problem?
Thank you.
I agree. Most shutters will fail. I couldn't tell you though if that will help your 1300D. Sorry.
Thanks for the spring loaded torx screw section. I can imagine not having enough forethought for that and coming across a host of focal problems.
I'm glad it was helpful Robert!
Hi Robert, I replaced the shutter with the Canon 70D, it was only during the sensor installation phase that I realized I was in trouble, and then I saw your video
The question is also to the Canon 70D can I turn the screw back to 1.5 turns?
Thanks
thanks for this tutorial
You're welcome!
Hi Robert, I would like to thank you for your videos which helping me to replace the shutter assembly.
Thank you very very much.
Hi RisKin!. That's really great to hear that the videos helped you out. Thank you for taking the time to let me know! I appreciate it.
mr. I want to ask, for the height of cmos 70d is it the same as 1.5 screw rotation? Thanks
that information would be very valuable for me too, i got second hand and someone did a bad repair job. so i will have to do the sensor calibration :[[ without starting point. Would be nice to know the 70d sensor screw rotation info. Even though i believe every camera has its own unic rotation
@@mantasbartasevicius3553 Hi Manteas, in the meantime you have an answer
Appreciate the diagrams!! Removed the SD reader, laid screws out in order. Them before moving, the wife put all the screws in one bag. Was lost till your videos. Much thanks.
Oh no! I cringed when I read the line about all of the screws being put into a bag. Lol. I'm sure the intentions were fully good, but I know what it's like trying to remember where all of those tiny little screws go. I'm sure glad the diagrams and videos were helpful to you. -Bob
Hi Robert.. Can you let me know how to assemble back the spring that control the pop up flash on 7D or 60d .thanks so much
I did open up the pop up flash try to lubricate the screw but don't know how to assemble the spring .. your kind help will be highly appreciated
I'm not sure that I'd ever taken the pop up flash apart before. I have an old 60D on my bench though that I may be able to take a look at and see how it's done. I'll let you know what I find.
Thank you so much!
Perfect explanation
Hi Robert. The info such as metering mode, exp lock, shutter, aperture, etc that shows in the bottom part of a viewfinder, where does it comes from? Is it a mini horizontal lcd, a whole lcd or other piece that projects it to the bottom part as green texts? Thanks.
Hi. Yes there is a small display that is used to project the numbers up to the viewfinder. At time stamp ruclips.net/video/ZUZVH6Bfxfs/видео.html in this video where I am removing the shutter assembly, you can see some flat ribbon cable that is exposed. That is the side of the display unit. From inside the mirror box, you will see three small openings when you lift up on the mirror, where the display projects through.
@@Thebobfactor Thanks a lot for your help and reply, I appreciated that. All the best and cheers from Brazil.
Hy, to disassemble the bayonet metal ring? D you have video about that? Thanks
No. Sorry I don't have a video on that.
is it possible to get into the viewfinder internals and clean it from the inside?
I'm not sure. I have not disassembled the view finder before. I can check into it. I will need to see if I have a 60D on hand to look at first.
@@Thebobfactor I haven’t seen anyone on youtube who tried…at least to my knowledge… I am about to buy a super cheap 60D with fungus inside the viewfinder.. and try getting inside to clean it… if I fail I will replace the viewfinder unit..I have some experience with electronics but not up to your level…
@@user-xu5eu8po7f I was able to find a mirror box for the 60D, and it looks like it's pretty simple getting inside the first area of the viewfinder. Hopefully that is where the fungus is at on the camera you are going to purchase. If you will send me your email address to me at hiking@thebobfactor.com, I will send you a couple pictures of the viewfinder's top lens/cover removed.
Hi Robert, Thanks a lot for your videos, clear, precis, clean and your voice help a lot to try and repaired my EOS 70D. Unfortunetly i still have my Err 20. do you have any idea ? I guess it's about the position of the mirror. But how i can know wich position is the good one ? thanks :)
Hi Alexis. Can you tell me what your repair consisted of? Did you replace the entire shutter assembly or the curtains? Thanks.
@@Thebobfactor Thanks for the interest :).
I will try to not replace anything but just fixe it. Had to Open the mirror Box and specialy the part with the mirror Motor. i'm pretty sur it's a positioning problem
@@nicodemus2404 I see. I'm afraid I've never really opened the mirror box assembly up. I probably can't help you much on that. Sorry.
Thanks Roberts, most helpful, as I have trouble with the SD card reader.
Hi Martin. I hope you were able to get your SD card reader up and running again.
Robert Hosea thanks for your video, now up and running thanks to you !
Hey that's great Martin! I'm glad you were able to fix your camera. And I'm glad the videos helped you out with it. Thank you for taking the time to give me some feedback on this too. -Bob
stunning videos you did, respect for your work and the fact you are sharing those amazing videos
Excellent Robert! You're an incredible teacher
Hi sir, incredible teaching, thank you very much,
But actually, i'm have some problem with my eos 60d.
Could you help me sir?
Thanks in advance.
Hi. I'll sure try. What problem are you having?
Hey mate, thanks for the video! Is it possible to replace the sensor with the new one by myself? I mean, shouldn`t you write in software that you are installing a new sensor?
Hi The Eddie. Yes, you can replace the CCD yourself. Just be sure to make note of the alignment screw positions as I show in the video. You won't need to flash the firmware after changing out the CCD.
@@Thebobfactor thank you!
@@Thebobfactor one more question, do you know how to effectively calibrate the the sensor placement? That’s all good to remember the position of the screws, but my camera has backfocus (that is not the reason of replacement). Or you should disassemble and assemble camera multiple times to calibrate the focus?
@@ed_ua No, I'm sorry, I have never adjusted a CCD beyond setting the screws back to their original position. And I have yet to find any videos that show how to do it beyond the trial and error method of adjusting, then testing, then adjusting again. Which of course has a lot of time being spent on assembly and disassembly in between each step. Sorry I can't help you much with that.
@@Thebobfactor thanks for your effort, sir!
Hi Robert, Thanks so much for your amazing videos on the Cannon 60D. Have you ever replaced the SD card assembly or have you done any repairs on the card slot? My camera doesn't pop the SD card out. I am able to use it with a MicroSD adapter and I can remove the entire cared using tweezers. I understand this isn't good for the card though and it would be nice to have it working correctly.
Hi Wendy. Video #2 in this series will show you how to remove the SD card circuitboard. You will need to use video #1 first though to disassemble the camera. And then use video #2 up to this point: ruclips.net/video/_-gQbCM7QMw/видео.html. Then you can use video #4 to help you put it back together. Give me a shout if you have any problems. -Bob
Great followed all vids on how to open and replace my shutter but before I noticed you already made a video on how to put it back...so I used the first three video in reverse and assembled it..only to find out that it gives an error when ever I insert battery that it can't connect to my battery...so it doesn't show battery percentage...please how do I fix this...it was working. Just fine before I opened it also the SDcard slot now doesn't clip to hold the sd card unless closed with the door
Take a look inside the SD card slot and see if there is anything inside it. Nothing that you removed from the camera will effect the SD card like that. So it must be a problem inside the card slot. And the most likely problem with the camera not communicating with the battery, is that the small flat ribbon cable used for the communication is not connected properly to the metal bar that runs inside the battery compartment. Take a look at this section of video #4, where it shows how to reconnect it. Let me know if that was the problem. ruclips.net/video/7gJr4ANik-g/видео.html
@@Thebobfactor okay I'll do just that...opening it again in few minutes to check
@@Thebobfactor checked it figured I didn't connect the cable that reads battery percentage on the camera did so and its working now...but for the SD Card slot it still doesn't clip in by pressing except if the door is closed forcing it to sit.... didn't see anything inside but perhaps the tiny metal responsible for clipping it might be out of its place...pls how do I get to open it and check the slot...or I must have to buy another?
@@degerejiusman6363 That's a confusing one on the SD card problem. I really don't know what the problem would be with it. Removing the SD card board wouldn't effect the SD card's ability to lock in place inside the slot. It still sounds as if the card is not able to seat all the way down inside the slot. Have you tried another SD card yet? Possibly the card has a problem. If you are still unable to figure the problem with it, then replacing the SD card board would be the next step. It just seems a shame to replace the SD card board if it was working prior to the camera disassembly. I think the problem with it is going to be something very simple though. Let me know what you find out.
@@Thebobfactor I think I'll just use it this way since the door works fine and the board reads and writes to sd...just the clipping issue....found it easy to remove the sdcard now that I don't have to push in to remove though.....thanks a lot for your replies
Every single 60D have a skrews turns adjust or have some universal adjust?
I've only seen the same type of adjustment screws in the 60D's as the ones shown in this video.
where do you get these tools? and do you have any suggestions as to where I can get some old cameras for practice? I am so fascinated with your lessons! You explain everything so meticulously and I absolutely love those charts! You are too generous and I am so appreciative ! Thank you sooo much!
Hi Alicen.
Thank you very much. I'm really glad you like the video series.
Most of the tools that I use in this video were purchased through Amazon. One of them is a 30 piece multi-tip set of screwdrivers. This is the link to them on Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FGQ1G6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have purchased three 60D's on Ebay that were listed as broken or for parts. They were in the range of $100 each. I was actually able to fix two of them, but one of them is just used for practice now, and I keep it disassembled in a box. It helps me out when someone has a question about something inside the camera, and I can just go to that one. Something important that I found out right away when buying any used camera, is to make sure that it never got wet. One camera that I bought was so rusted inside from water damage that there was nothing usable in it. The seller let me return it. But now I always make sure and ask the seller if it had ever been wet. If it has I won't buy it.
The charts took a few days to create, but they sure helped me out a lot. I'm glad that others are getting use out of them too!

Hi Robert. Interesting Videos! I need your expert advice.
My Canon 60D is giving me an "Err 30" which is, according to canon, a shutter issue. I took a peek at the sensor to see what might be causing this and I found out that the shutter gets stuck in a close position. But this doesn't happen all the time but occasionally.
My camera is way above 100K shutter actuations. It is already 139K. Do you think it needs a shutter assembly replacement already?
We don't have any authorized Canon Repair Centers nearby. Would you recommend replacing the shutter assembly myself?
Thanks in advance! Your reply is greatly appreciated.
Hi Toastmaster Ivan. Most likely there is a tear somewhere on one of the curtains in the shutter assembly that is causing it to randomly hang up. I've had this same type of problem on one of my 60D's, and replacing the shutter assembly was the only option to fix it. You can see from all of the videos in this 60D repair series that getting to the shutter assembly itself is an in depth process because you have to tear the camera completely down. Once there though, the actual replacement of the shutter assembly is very easy. If you follow the tear down process shown in all of the videos, and use all of the screw layout diagrams, I don't think you would have a problem. And be sure to replace the entire shutter assembly and not just the curtains, because as on mine, one of the many little springs in the shutter assembly was broken and that's what tore the curtain. And replacement curtains don't include the springs. I hope this helps you out. -Bob
Thanks for the prompt reply Bob. :) i was able to contact a DSLR repair Shop who does this kind of stuff for Canon cameras. He is charging me Php 3,500 (USD 67) for the whole shutter assembly and Php 1,500 (USD 29) for the labor. Do you think these prices are reasonable? I don't have any idea how much this repair costs in authorized Canon service centers. Thanks!
That's good price on the part and an amazingly good price on the labor. You can't go wrong with that.
You are right Bob. ^_^ just a hundred dollars and less the hassle of doing it myself. Hehe. I will see the repair guy in a couple of weeks or so. I will surely let you know how this goes. Thank you!
hi Robert! tell me how to adjust the sensor to avoid problems with focusing. I'm interested in how many turns of the bolts you made then screw the sensor until I got the perfect focus.
The way that I do it is to mark the screws before removing them, and then count the turns that it takes to make the screws bottom out (tightened). Record the numbers for each of screws. They can all be different. Then to get it back to that point, put the screw in and bottom it out, and back the screw out the number of turns that you recorded for that particular screw. I show how to do that in this video at time stamp 1:00.
The problem is that I have a second-hand camera with a non-aligned sensor. Where he read that you need to tighten the screws to the stop and loosen by 1.5 turns. I'm afraid that the sensor might collide with the shutter, what do you think about it? Sorry for my English:)
Oh ya I see what you are talking about. I have seen a few videos that talk about adjusting the CCD screws to change the focus, but they really don't go into enough detail to help you out here. They just basically show that you can adjust a screw, take a picture and then determine if the focus is correct or not. I don't know how to adjust it if you don't already have a starting point I wouldn't think that shutter would touch the CCD even with the CCD tightened all the way down. But I will check and let you know though.
Thank you. I will be very grateful
Sorry for the delay. I hope to have a 60D disassembled tonight that I can use to measure the distance between the shutter curtains and the CCD.
Hi Robert! I went through your videos to see if you had recorded removal/replacement of the contact base assembly but didn't see anything. Did I miss the right video or could you provide any advice (or better yet, a tutorial ; ) ). My camera is giving me the ERR1 code with all of my lenses. Thanks!
Hi Chevy.
I've been pretty lucky and haven't run into that Err 01 problem yet. And I guess it's a fairly common problem too. I haven't worked on the lens base contacts before, and I'm afraid I don't have anything in any of the videos...yet. But, I will try to take a look at the contacts in the very near future and see what it would take to remove, or fix them.
Bob
Thanks and I'll keep an eye out. Also, thanks for all the great videos you've done so far! It's a lovely thing to share the knowledge you have!
Thank you for this videos. This helps so much!
You're welcome Dmitry. I'm glad it helped you out.
Sir there is an issue in my canon 60d
What kind of problem are you having?
Great video's and drawings Robert. I broke my intervalometer pin and it's stuck in the camera. How would I go about removing it as I cannot grab the broken pin with needle nose pliers.
Hi Harlan. By "pin" do you mean the electrical plug on the end of the intervalometer's cable, and the broken part is in the small hole (the jack) on the side of the camera?
If that's the case, the first thing you would do is remove the battery. Then look and see if the broken off part is hollow at all. If it is hollow, (that's good) you could insert something like a small "easy-out" for removing screws. You could also fashion a small flat screwdriver, or a piece of solid wire, that would fit inside the broken part, with something on the end to act like a barb so that it will hook on the inside to pull it out. That particular plug is very small though @ 2.5mm, so it may be tough to do anything like that.
If that doesn't work though, then you may have to tear the camera down to the point shown in the first video at ruclips.net/video/rxc9C1UrVVs/видео.html. From there you would have access to remove the board that the plug is on. There are four screws that you would have to remove. Then from the backside of the plug, you would need to bend back a small piece of metal that's on the end, and then you could push the broken piece back out of the hole. Then bend the piece of metal back where it was. - Bob
Yes thank you
Let me know how you make out on this Harlan. Good luck with it.
I will Robert.
How do i take out the mirror only? Can i do it myself?
Hi Michelle. I've never taken the mirror out before. But that sounds interesting. Let me see what it will take to remove and replace the mirror on a 60D. And if I can get it figured out then I will make a video showing the process.
Robert Hosea I was taking pictures and I had done the auto cleaning. it was a hot day. so I think the glue came off. when I pressed on the shutter it broke it in half! Now I can't see through it. I can use it on live view but not through the viewfinder. I found a replacement on ebay but wasn't sure on how to put it.
Wow, that really sucks. I've read before about other Canon models having "defective" glue on their mirrors and having the mirror come off. Maybe it has something to do with that. Is your camera a 60D? Also, does the replacement mirror that you purchased require that it to be glued back in? Or, is the mirror already mounted on a small frame?
Robert Hosea It looks like it comes with another attachment not just the mirror. yes my canon is a 60d only like 4 years old.
