Modding the Olympus Pen-F to a Full Spectrum Camera. Camera Disassembly Instruction

This time we will convert this camera to a Full Spectrum camera.
This conversion is difficult. You probably want to know this before starting the conversion. Also, you will need a gauge with a stand.

Unscrew all outside screws. There will be many hidden screws.
You need to unscrew screws that are hidden on the front and the back of the camera.

Also, you need to remove the lens mount to access two screws.

Now you can unscrew the back panel screws, remove the bottom part, and access the camera internals.

Carefully separate the back panel, disconnect three ribbon cables, and remove the panel.

Disconnect all accessible ribbon cables.

Take out the top part.

To remove the mainboard, you need to separate its one ribbon cable from the camera and separate the power contacts that connect it to the battery.

Now you can access the sensor.

You need to take sensor distance readings from the camera chassis. There are four screws, so you need to take measurements next to those four screws. Write down those numbers; we will need them later.
Keep the gauge in a safe place and do not move its arms.

Unscrew sensor screws and take out the sensor.

If you do not use a clear glass to “fix” focusing and want to shift the sensor to the front, some metal removal will be needed. The areas where this should be done are marked in the image.

Please keep everything clean and remove bits of metal as soon as possible. Any metal particles can stick to the sensor stabilization system magnets and affect its function.
If you see any metal particles on the magnets, remove them with painter’s tape.

The first and the second sensor filters should be removed.
