Step 19

  • This camera uses spring to calibrate the position of the sensor, and we use precision equipment to measure the height of the sensor. You can attempt to count the number of turns it take to remove a screw, however we do not advise doing so.
  • The springs are located under the 3 torx screws. You’ll need to remove those along with the screws connecting to the left and bottom.
