Here we will convert the Canon 7D MK1 to a full-spectrum camera for Michelle.
The outside screws are not identical, so it's best to have separate containers for the top, bottom, and front screws. Alternatively, you can place them on a table, but be careful not to mix them up.
All the rubber grip covers must be removed. If the rubber no longer sticks, you can use 3M double-sided tape to fix it.
Use a small screwdriver to move the latch on the connectors.
Make sure there are no loose screws on the bottom part, and disconnect the ultrasonic cleaning sensor.
Apply a small amount of universal glue to the PCB screws to ensure they won’t come loose.
Insulate the flash capacitor with electrical tape, and disconnect the two flash cables.
The sensor in this camera is mounted on springs. Take gauge readings and write them down before proceeding.
Remove the two small screws.
The first filter must be removed in one piece, as I need to cut out the ultrasonic resonator. Separating the black frame from the sensor can sometimes be difficult.
Here is the ultrasonic resonator, which I attach to the sensor using 3M double-sided tape.
Reinstall the sensor and reconnect all the components.
Using the gauge, align the sensor and shift it forward by 0.3 mm.
Apply a small amount of glue to the sensor screws to keep them secure.
Connect the ribbon cable first, as the space is very tight and it’s difficult to slide the cable in after tightening the logic board screws.
Apply glue to the logic board screws as well.
Ensure the two flash cables are connected correctly. The yellow cable must go into the yellow socket.
The conversion is now complete, and the camera is ready for capturing infrared images.
