Disassembling Casio Exilim F1 pro (EX-F1)

What is Ex-F1 ?

  • a High Speed Camera from Casio (Sony sensor) capable of capturing 1200 fps

What happened ?

This camera was unusable after falling down hard. It started but shut down a few seconds later (after optic test). A thin lens mount plastic broke inside the optic and was blocking the zoom lens to reach end points. After removing + fixing this it worked normally as before.

Overview of parts

First Run while Repair

Flash Light removal

  • no need to do this for disassembly

Backside removal

Mainboard

Image Sensor

This step was hard to find

  • It is necessary to get into the zoom optic.
  • The ring is just glued on top of the screws.

After that it was easy to fix it

Here you see the broken part

It works again :)

Tips

  • Turning the cam upside down (+ sometimes shaking a bit) made it possible starting (passing optics test) with the damaged optic.
  • Remember every screw position exactly! There are many kinds and sizes of screws on this camera.
  • Keep the sensor and lenses clean. Wear gloves!
