1D M4 how do I remove lens after broken lens release button

During a weding shoot the leans release button brok. How do i remove the leans?

You may need to call Canon.
The mounting ring on the lens has a tiny hole in it.  The lens flange on the body has a tiny spring-loaded pin.  When you mount a lens (red dot on lens lining up with red dot on body) that pin is pressed into the mounting flange until you rotate the lens far enough that the hole aligns with the pin and the pin locks into the hole.  The sole purpose of the lens release button is to retract the locking pin.
When you press the button, it pushes against a metal tab which pulls the locking pin back.  You may actually be able to see a tiny bit of that tab on the lens-facing side of the release button (through the tiny gap where the button fits into the body.)  If you can press that metal tab back, it will release the pin.   
The release mechanism is fairly simple... it seems as if it'd be hard to break.  If the lens is trying to twist (somehow jammed) then it can make it so that the pin does NOT want to retract.  If I attempt to rotate a lens which is locked on my camera body I can feel just a very tiny amount of play (which is normal.)  If you're lens is jammed in and putting sideways pressure on the pin then it probably wont have any play at all - and that might make it hard to press the lens release.

  • How to edit / remove watermarks after the document is digitally signed

    how to edit / remove watermarks after a document is digitally signed ?

    Hello Dave,
    Thank you for your reply.
    I have 2 things to mention.
    (1)It is possible to do so if I open the document in Acrobat 8.
    (2) Is there any work around solution for X-pro ?
        I create a draft document and send it for approval with “draft” watermark.
        I receive it back after approval with the approver’s signature.
      Then I have to remove the “draft” watermark.
      How can I do it?
    Any suggestion will be appreciated
    Thank you.

  • How do I remove space after paragraph?

    Does Robohelp have the "Remove Space after paragraph" button for reducing the space between lines, like the one in Word?

    In HTML the space after is controlled by the style in your CSS file. You need to edit the style in the Style Editor.
    See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips

  • How do I remove photos after importing?

    I am very new to Lightroom 5.  I immediately imported all my photos from "Mu Pictures" and then learned from a tutorial that I could set up "naming" to be added as I imported.  How do I remove them so that I can re-import them with the naming feature set up?

    Go to the Catalog tab at the top of the left hand panel and click on All Photographs.
    Press Ctrl+A to select all and then hit delete.
    Just remove from catalog and not from disk.

  • How to Close InfoPath Form After Submission When Two Buttons Exist?

    I have an browser-enabled InfoPath 2010 form that has two views and a submit button on each view. The form would correctly submit and close the form using one button on the form until the second button was added. After adding the submit button on a second
    view, the second button submitted/closed but the behavior on the first view changed so that the form no longer closes after submission. I’ve researched this and have not yet found a solution to allow closing the form after submission for one of the buttons.
    Things I’ve tried:
     - I’ve attempted creating multiple submit data connections for the different buttons
     - Specifying different Submit Options
     - Try closing the form with the code
     - Add another button to the non-closing view
     - Add duplicate Rule actions to "Close this form: No Prompt"
    Settings:
    Button rules:
     - Submit using data connection: SharePoint Library Submit
     - Close this form: No Prompt
    Button Properties:
     - Action > Rules and Custom Code
    The form Submit Options:
     - Send form to a single destination (a form library)
     - Choose a data connection for submit (SharePoint library submit)
     - Advanced > After Submit: Close the form
    Advanced form options:
     - Filler Features: all items unchecked (not allowing Save, etc.)
     - E-Mail Attachments: uncheck Enable InfoPath e-mail form functionality for this form template
    Resources:
    When considering programmatically submitting and closing the form, I understand from this article that the Rules run before code and I can’t close the InfoPath form programmatically by writing code behind a button that has a rule set on it:
    http://www.bizsupportonline.net/blog/2009/01/how-to-programmatically-run-code-close-infopath-web-form/
    Discussion of creating a custom Save and Submit buttons for InfoPath browser forms:
    http://markhaverty.com/sharepoint/custom-save-and-submit-buttons-for-infopath-browser-forms/

    what if you need to switch views? 
    I have the same problem in a similar situation.  I created a test button to narrow down the cause.  the button submits data & closes the form fine.  however when I add a rule to switch views before the submit & close rule, it
    breaks.  Submit still works but it no longer closes the form.  If I disable the switch-view rule, then it closes fine. 
    I tried added another rule to switch back to the main view but that didn't help. 
    switching views is an integral part of the workflow b/c I want to email the alternate view upon approval & then close the form.  So removing that rule is not a good answer unfortunately. 

  • HOW do I remove SPs after uncompressing BUT before applying???

    I've uncompressed some Support Packages that I do not need to apply ... ie. IS-OIL, I accidently unpacked this item and do not have to apply it.
    Thanks
    maria

    Hi Maria,
    Decompressing .SAR or .CAR file is nothing but creating the .ATT and .PAT files in the OS level. it's by default compressed to DIR_TRANS\eps\in. (the same thing is done by putting .SAR file in /trans and then uncar by sapcar to /trans/eps/in.. in the case of uncar by sapcar tool in the server)
    If you don't need to apply that, then its okay.. not mandatory to delete the .att and .pat files. but if you don't want something to stay on your trans folder unnecessarily, then you may search for those .ATT and .PAT of IS-OIL then delete them manually.
    .ATT gives the attributes of the patch.. you can know by reading it which one is for IS-OIL.
    or the easiest way would be to take the .CAR or .SAR file somewhere in a dummy folder and uncar there by sapcar tool to see the exact .att and .pat files and then search for the same files in /trans/eps/in folder and delete.
    Regards,
    Debasis.

  • How can we remove podcasts with broken links?

    The organization I work for has some old podcasts (2011) listed in iTunes; the links to all the MP3s are broken. No one in the organization has any idea who posted these items in the first place, so needless to say, we have no idea what account they're linked to. We'd just like for those podcasts to stop appearing in iTunes -- is there a way to flag the broken links so the podcasts don't show up any more?
    Thanks in advance.

    The feed for that is still up at
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/RichardRohrHomilies
    Ideally you should remove it, which would ensure it being removed from the Store (a cached version would show until they removed it) - however you will need the login to Feedburner to do this, which presumably you don't have. In that case you can only hope that the fact that none of the media files can be accessed will be sufficient.

  • How do you remove voice memos from the iPod after downloading it to iTunes?

    first of all, which model of voice recorder is best for the 5G video 30 gb iPod? I have heard of Griffin iTalk and Belkin Universal Microphone Adapter, but i'm leaning towards the iTalk b'c it looks cheaper on Amazon and eBay. does anyone suggest anything along those lines?
    and also, after recording voice memos (like class lectures and such) onto the iPod and downloading them to iTunes, how do i remove them from the iPod? do i have to make them a different program file (like windows media player, and not iTunes)?

  • I am having trouble removing songs from my iPhone.  i have unchecked songs in the library on my mac, but they still show up on phone after syncing.  how do I remove them?

    I am having trouble removing songs from my iPhone.  i have unchecked songs in the library on my mac, but they still show up on phone after syncing.  how do I remove them?

    Hi asims01,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below may be able to answer your questions about how to delete songs from your iPhone:
    Deleting songs downloaded to your device
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
    Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
    Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
    Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
    Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
    There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone.  Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1867

  • How do I remove the (-signed) which Adobe adds to the end of the document name after having signed it?

    Hi there,
    How do I remove the (-signed) which Adobe adds to the end of the document name after having signed it?
    It is not convenient to remove it every time I sign a document. So, is there a way to turn this off?
    Thank you

    I think you cannot, because for many people it is so important to keep the unsigned document, and most do not realise this until it is too late.
