Title: Sony A7R III mirrorbox replacement. Advice needed!
Post by: haring on December 29, 2019, 09:46:52 pm

I have a Sony A7R III. The small glass in front the the mirror box has cracked. I would like to replace it. I have looked up on youtube how to replace the mirrorbox. What I found so far is a video based on the Sony A7R II. Based on that video the mirrobox can be removed without removing the back plate of the camera and opening the main body. I have tried to do the same however the small cover keeping the mirrobox is stuck and I can't remove it.

My question:

Is there anybody here who opened up a Sony A7R III? Do I have to open up the frame of the camera and remove the back plate to remove the mirrorbox?

Thanks!

Do you mean the glass in front of the sensor? No mirror box and no mirror on this mirrorless camera

I wouldn't fool around with anything that's connected to the sensor. Take it to Sony.
