Canon 5D MK4 Top Dial 5 Minute Fix
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 พ.ค. 2023
- Do you have a Canon 5D4 with a top dial that doesn't want to adjust your shutter speed properly? This is a fix that worked for me - and it might work for you! I was quoted by Canon about $400 to fix the dial... ridiculous! Use this info at your own discretion, it is not Canon approved and could void your warranty (if they found out) I am not responsible for any damage you may cause.
Items you will need:
1: CRC QD Contact Cleaner - Quick Dry Formula, Plastic Safe, No Residue.
(NOTE: CRC ALSO MAKES A SIMILAR SOUNDING CLEANER - DO NOT USE THE CRC ELECTRONIC CLEANER, DO NOT SUBSTITUTE - USE ONLY THE CRC QD CONTACT CLEANER)
2: CRC Duster - Dust and Lint Remover
3:Clean Cloth to Wipe Camera
You can buy the items from amazon - however it's twice as expensive as Lowes.

Canon 5D Mark4 -5D4 - 5D Mark IV - Top Dial Broken, Top Wheel Doesn't Adjust Exposure Properly.
Tried this last night, and it seems to have worked! I suspect that the contact cleaner clears out grease and such that gets between the rubber wheel and the inner, plastic wheel. Great, painless solution! Cheers!
Well, I'll be! I had the same problem with the main dial on my 5D M IV. I followed your instructions very closely and it worked! The dial works like new. Thanks for saving me a lot of money and aggravation. It cost me just over $18 for the two cans and took less than 5 minutes to fix the camera.
Another satisfied viewer who saved himself a $500 repair!
Thank you soooo much !!!
I used to apply this kind of fix for other electronic devices, but I didn’t think about using a contact cleaner for my 5d IV dials !
Grip dial and top dial are working perfectly now 👍👍👍
THANK YOU KINDLY SIR !!!!! I received the products yesterday and it worked like a charm !!!! Thank again man 👍👍👍💯Respect
Absolute legend!! I was literally just about to open my 5dmk3 to swap out the dial for another one. Figured I would give this a go first and boom, we're back in business. All working again and only took me 5 minutes! Thanks a lot for this video!
I'm about to try the same on my Mk IV, did the fix last?
Another satisfied customer!! The top dial of my 5D MK IV was very hit and miss…just like described in your video. I got the two products you mentioned at Home Depot today and followed your directions. The first time did not resolve it….so had to do another round. It worked like a charm! For anyone trying this…the spray of the duster after applying the contact cleaner is an important step…I think. It resulted in contact cleaner working its way back out of the top dial opening. Wtihout this step…you might get some “pooling” of the contact cleaner inside the top dial….even though it is quick drying. Thanks for the video!!!
You're a life saver. I've been dealing with a skipping dial for 3 years now and was about to sell my 5dm4 until I saw this. Had to do it twice, but it worked!
Worked as prescribed!
Thank you! I was about to take mine apart and put a new dial in and saw this…took the risk and gave it a shot. Worked like a dream and no dramas. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
After some time it will come back, same situation here...fixed, but only temporarily.
That worked on my EOS R! So far so good. Great tip!
Hint: sometimes the dust blower is enough, I was gonna follow this procedure on my 5D mark III and it fixed the issue with just the dust blower and a few wheel spins. I'd keep the contact cleaner as last resort.
Will definitely be giving this a try. This problem has been driving me nuts.
Great fix! Worked perfect on my stubborn top dial. Thank you very much!!
I'm glad i saw your video, i was about to send my 5d4 to canon but using this method fix it. i had to do it twice and now it back to normal
The products just arrived from Amazon…..fingers crossed 🤞 LOL
thanks for the tip, everything works perfectly again, no more glitches
Dang, i already change the dial myself and then watch your video, if only.........
Worked great thank youuuui
Thanks bro you save my camera and money
Wow, such an easy fix. Thank you for sharing. One of our 5d bodies has been getting worse over time and this made it good as new in seconds!
The way this wheel is I bet it's just years of built up dust and finger oil caking in there and needing to be cleaned off the contacts.
Hi! I'm about to try the same on my Mk IV, did the fix last?
@@Hack3rPT it's been a few months now and it's still working as good as new.
@@jasonhughes3481Thanks for the update! Bought one used with very few clicks a couple of weeks ago and it's starting to skip, very rarely and subtle but it does happen. Waiting for the contact cleaner to arrive, hopefully it fixes it!
went to canvas the repair at a local repair shop says it will cost me $100
went to a hardware and bought a contact cleaner for $5.
Easy fix :D ty
Good one! It happened to me every now and then, it seems I solved it using a manual air blower and isopropyl alcohol.
How do you put the isopropilyc alchool in please ?
@@ludovicschmitt I used a syringe filled up with isopropyl alcool. Pay attention to not get hurt with the needle, and remember to remove your battery.
I poured the isopropyl alcohol behind the wheel (or in front, I don't remember exactly, I looked how the spare part was made to find the internal contacts used by the gear), putting the slanted part of the needle tip in parallel to the rubber gear. I gently squeezed some isopropyl alcohol and got the gear spin manually back and forth.
I then whistled with the air blower to let the isopropyl alcohol evaporate faster. I then put back the battery after being sure everything was dry again.
Thank you so much for your answer 🙏
You're welcome! Do not put an excessive amount of isopropyl alcohol, just to soak a little bit the internals.
Keep me up to date, I'm curious :-)
Problem solved ! Two try and perfect now.. i just buy this 5d4 for 400€ with 100000 clic, the best deal of my photographer’s life !
Thank you for sharing this fix. I just had to do this twice to recover a dial as good as new.
This worked on my Canon R5...thanks!!!
Hi! I'm about to try the same on my Mk IV, did the fix last?
It still hops a bit, but not as bad. I'm going to do it again.
You have to spray it od the sensor
