Loose Ex1 evf?

[Jon Neely]

Hello there ex1 users, just shooting out for some help trying to figure out how to tighten my EVF on my personal and work cameras. I have owned my personal camera since 2008 and it has had a lot of use and fly miles and the camera has held up wonderfully, but I am having an issue with my evf becoming very loose and wiggling side by side. I thought it might have been just my camera a but at work we have a 2008 ex1 and it shows the same issue, plus my buddy that just got a ex1r is already experiencing similar issues, Has anyone had similar issues and fixed it?


Thanks,

Jon

You might need new LCD Bezel part

You might need new LCD Bezel part

I had almost similar issue in one of my three EX1 cameras, but with the LCD instead of EVF. The LCD Bezel part was broken and I had to replace it. There's one good video, where you can see how easy it is to open the lcd (and also check if it is broken or not):

The part number is 3-276-871-01 s BEZEL LCD

Here you can see the broken Bezel that I had:

I guess I could have superglued it, but the part was no that expensive.
