Einleitung

Use this guide to replace a damaged back or top case, or open the case to access other components of your camera.

We highly suggest you use a magnetic project mat or an organization tray. This camera has many different types of screws and keeping them organized is key to proper reassembly.

Thank you very much the detailed instruction. I should replace the whole eyecap unfortunatelly. Can you help me how could I replace it after I disassembled the camera follow your instruction? How is that part assembled?

Thank you!

Hi, could you share an image of exactly which piece is broken and you want to change? As I am looking at my X-T10 it does not have the usual big rubber eyecap that you can see in X-T2, DSLRs or similar cameras :)

Hi,

Thank you for your answer.

No unfortunatelly it is not only a removable eyecap. It is the whole viewfinder cover. The material of this piece began to break down. Nobody knows why. I can share some photo with you.

Thank you for your kindly help in advance!

OK, I see… It does look strange.

I will keep it in mind to do a more detailed top part dissassembly guide so you could separate that part. But since I am just a hobbyist myself I can’t give you an answer when I will find time for it :)

Hope you understand :)

This is a lovely camera and enjoy it while it works, luckily it is not something that stops it from working :)

Thank you very much. Do you know when could you share the details with me? I would like to repair my camera.

Thanks!
