Tools to remove ZWO ASI 120MC-S camera body

[Erimakishigi]

Hi I don't know about tools much but I really want to know how to remove the camera body. It seems it labels "M4" (on diagram) and I don't know is it a screw or something else. Many thanks.

Hi @Erimakishigi and welcome to SGL. 

I have just had a look at my AS1120MM-S under a magnifying lens and iPhone camera zoomed to the max, I cannot see any screw head. The threaded holes maybe for securing something else.

This link may help, looks like the front/top should unscrew...

I suggest that you resist the temptation to unscrew any parts of your camera other than the black nosepiece.  If you do open it you are likely to get dust on the sensor or the inside of the optical window.  Then you will get dark spots on your images which will prove very difficult to remove. 😰

Just leave well alone.

This looks like the same casing as the earlier USB2 version of the camera, in which case the whole body just screws apart...

To me the obvious question is....
Why does it need to be dismantled?
