Introduction

This replacement guide will address how to remove the lens assembly from a Sony a7 model number ILCE-7 camera. The lens assembly is a frame that allows the lens to attach to the camera and take photos. The lens unit itself is an interchangeable, separate piece of hardware from the actual camera. This three-step guide will outline what actions to take when the lens assembly fails.

If the lens attachment is unable to affix to the camera or take photos, or the camera’s shutter door fails to operate consistently, there is a chance that the lens assembly needs to be repaired. Before beginning this process, it may be helpful to reference this troubleshooting page, which could help with addressing issues before having to go through the process of removing the lens assembly. The tool necessary to complete this replacement guide is a PH00 Phillips screwdriver. No special skills or technical degrees are required to understand this replacement guide.
