Introduction
I needed to convert my camera to full spectrum so I went about it. Since most of the camera needs to be disassembled to reach the filter, I posted this as a disassembly guide, which can be developed further by other community members. The stabilization unit removal is also shown even though it is not needed for the filter removal.

Fair warning — I bricked my camera following these instructions. Error message is “ please turn camera off and then on again” Only part I wasn’t sure of was to put back the UV filter housing in, which I didn’t because it didn’t want to fit without the filter. Maybe I ripped out a cable or something?
Hello,
N° 12, you forget a screw in the center ! ;)
