Le Canon EOS 5D perd son miroir

C’est assurément une notice technique inattendue qui vient d’arriver de Canon USA : certains Canon EOS 5D peuvent tout simplement voir leur miroir se décrocher en cours de fonctionnement. Je n’ose pas imaginer le bruit et les dégats…

Bon ! La réparation sera gratuite (aux USA au moins, je n’en sais pas encore davantage pour l’Europe). Il s’agit de rajouter une sorte de fixation sur le miroir pour lui éviter tout problème.

Dur, dur ! pour un appareil qui n’est pas tout neuf, mais il vaut mieux l’apprendre maintenant plutôt que d’avoir le problème un peu plus tard.
