What's inside a camera ? November 2017

The back came off easily and out popped the plate between the rear screen and the electronics. Some corrosion there.


I bought a used and abused Panasonic FZ70 a little while ago. It expired in due course so I undid all the little screws that I could find and pulled it apart to see what was inside. Lots of electronic stuff, it turns out.


All the bits, well most of them. I prised the front element off the lens and jiggled the rear element out. This sits almost touching the sensor with the camera powered off. You can see the tiny sensor.
I could not figure out how to further dismantle the lens without breaking something.
You can buy the follow up model to this (the FZ80) new for about $500 Australian. I don't know how they get these complex devices on the market at such low price points.
