Canon APS-C format micro camera EOS R7 hard core disassembly machine

In May of this year, Canon announced the launch of the first APS-C format micro-cameras EOS R7 and EOS R10 for the EOS R system. The EOS R7 is equipped with an RF-S18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM. The market price of the R7 fuselage is 8,999 yuan, and the market price of the R7 kit is 11,399 yuan.

Performance Specifications and Appearance Design

Canon EOS R7 is equipped with an APS-C sensor with an effective pixel of about 32.5 million, which supports no clipping Cut 4K 60P and 7K oversampling 4K 30P recording, the maximum burst rate under the electronic shutter reaches 30 frames per second, the same as the professional model EOS R3. For video recording, the R7 supports 4:2:2 10bit HDR PQ recording mode and 4:2:2 10bit Canon Log 3 gamma image, which is convenient for post-processing. In terms of focusing, the R7 uses Canon's second-generation full-pixel dual-core autofocus technology. In addition, like the EOS R3, the R7 also supports 5-axis image stabilization on the body. When used in combination with an RF lens with image stabilization, the highest image stabilization effect can reach 8 levels, allowing you to shoot with ease. From the front, there is an RF lens mount around the APS-C sensor. The lower left corner of the bayonet is the focus mode switch button. Then come to the back of the camera, you can see a 3-inch large 1.62 million-dot flip-up LCD display. What's more special is that this camera puts a new quick-control dial on the right side of the electronic viewfinder, which is composed of a dial and a rocker, which is used to adjust exposure compensation or switch AF areas. The arrangement on the top of the camera is relatively simple. There are the usual mode dial, record button, ISO button, shutter button and switch dial. In addition, you can see that Canon has also added an additional function dial next to the shutter button. The R7 adopts a dual SD card slot design, which is placed behind the handle and supports compatible dual UHS-II SD cards, which can meet the needs of 4k video recording and smooth playback.

Start disassembly

Where should I start? That's you, viewfinder! First take off the rubber cover above, then start the normal operation, disassemble the card slot, peel off the rubber skin on the surface, unscrew the exposed screws, and then go to the junction of the bayonet and the handle, unscrew these two Then the screw comes to the opposite side of the camera handle, handles the interface part, lifts the rubber cover on the surface of the interface, and unscrews the exposed screw. Don't worry, there's one hidden in the front. Come to the front of the fuselage, remove the "R7" logo on the camera, and you can see the screws hidden below. In this way, you can take off the cover at the interface and then the screws at the bottom of the camera, not much nonsense. , screw... Carefully open the back panel, you can see a large ribbon cable connecting the two parts of the fuselage together The next task is to separate the cable from the motherboard, this step needs to be very, very, very careful! Important things are said three times. There is one more thing to do before taking out the motherboard. You have to remove the viewfinder. You can see that all kinds of cables are connected around the viewfinder. Let’s test the hand shake again. After processing the viewfinder, the motherboard still can’t be taken off! Don't ask why, just look at the cables on the upper and lower sides of the motherboard... I get it. Finally, after dealing with these "cable assassins", you can take off the motherboard. Just below the motherboard is the heat sink. To remove this heat sink, we First, you have to deal with the remaining screws on the top of the fuselage. Then, both the top and the heat sink can be removed and the heat sink is not far from the sensor! Next, unscrew the screws of the sensor fixing springs. Here is a panorama of all components. The disassembly journey of the EOS R7 has come to an end. In general, there are many functions on the R7 that are decentralized from the R3. Good video performance, anti-shake performance, and the price advantage of less than 10,000 yuan, this micro-single is still very attractive, so what do you think about EOS R7, welcome to share your views in the message area~ Picture and text Source: KV
