Introduction

The E-mount is a lens mount that joins the camera’s body and the lens. Replacing a damaged or non-functioning E-mount requires removing the lens and the casing of the mount.

    • You may need to apply adequate force to remove these screws and be careful not to strip them as they are relatively weak.

    • Using a PH0 Philip’s screwdriver, unscrew and remove the four 1.2mm Philip’s screws on the front of the E-mount.

    • These screws are very small so make sure you do not misplace them.

    • If a screw is stripped, you will need to refer to the ifixit stripped screw removal guide

    • Using tweazers, remove the lens release button.

    • Because the small spring underneath is only held down by the button, removing the button will cause the spring to be loose. To avoid losing it, you may want to remove it as well.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
