Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Shutter Dial Replacement

Introduction

This guide shows you how to replace the shutter dial assembly. The shutter dial assembly includes the shutter dial and the shutter button.

Note that the Phillips #000 screwdriver is marked as an optional tool as you can always use the JIS #000 screwdriver in its place (JIS screwdrivers won't damage Phillips head screws).
