we had so many good times together I'm gonna miss you so much
this is the end let me bring you back to the beginning how I started my day
that was how I started my morning at a gas station with a vacuum cleaner of my
hand trying to suck out the dust inside the lens of my canon g7x now I don't own
a vacuum cleaner so I thought if I go to a gas station I can just put in a few
quarters and I'd be able to clean out all the dust inside my lens because I've
seen other people that done it online unfortunately this did not work so I
have to go to plan B however before I do that I want to show you how you remove
the protective cover first and then get inside the lens so the first thing you
have to do is turn the camera on alright and once you get it like this you're
going to go into the bottom and you're gonna take out the battery so now your
camera is open like this so what I do is you take the top and you just kind of
wiggle it off you just turn it like this and it just pops out these little pieces
right here we're all in the front end and I basically just took them off I
don't recommend you move them I recommend you actually hold them in
place but if you're like me and you want to put something else on the front you
can do that alright guys now that you took off the front end which is
necessary taking off these pieces is optional we're gonna now get inside the
lens so in order to do that we have to drill you could try the vacuum method
which I did I went to two gas stations this morning obviously it didn't work
but I would recommend that you drill into the side however there's a right
and a wrong way to do it so we're gonna go ahead and do it the right way so I
started out doing it the right way by hand and just using a drill in my hand
like this however I realized this was going to take forever and since I had a
power drill with me I decided to use that
this was the start of the downfall at first I didn't do too bad of a job I
drilled right into the outer shell and into the lens and I made sure to drill a
hole on both sides because I wanted to get a q-tip in there so I could get the
dust off on both sides of my lens after I had two big holes I still couldn't get
the q-tip in to the glass part of the lens and I think it's because I drilled
too low and so I decided to drill even more and take a bigger drill during this
process I always put the battery in the camera to try to test it out to make
sure the lens would go in and out and it seemed fine up until the point where I
had two big holes in the lens and then it gave me this message at this point I
figured the camera was already damaged I might as well go all in and I started
drilling in and as I did I shattered the small lens inside into pieces on all the
other youtube channels I watched and never finished like this
alright guys even though this camera is gonna go to the camera graveyard and
rest in peace I want to end this video on a high note so I want to say that I'm
still gonna go for my continuing 30-day challenge I'm still gonna finish it no
matter what and life stuff like this happens you have to experiment you have
to take risks you got to go for it and you're serious about your work sometimes
you got to cut holes in your camera to try to get out the dust all right you
got to do whatever it takes so even though this happened I'm not gonna let
it get me down I'm gonna keep going hope you found this video kind of funny
or inspirational or you taught you a lesson at the very least of what not to
do and if you did want to see more videos about photography please
