Lets get into it...
The EOS 60D was one of Canon's two-digit line of dslr's announced in the second half of 2010.
At its time, an amazing camera with 18.1 megapixels, 1080p full HD capability and sensitivity
of ISO 6400. This is the successor of the EOS 50D and a very good photographers buddy. More
than a buddy to videographers because of its articulating screen.
I owned and used this camera for a couple of years and can tell you its a very solid product.
One thing however that needs a replacement after long use is the battery door which would slack
and stop locking. A simple fix or solution to this is to go unto amazon and make a purchase.
I, on the other hand decided to fix it as this fix depending on how you go about it should never
go faulty as long as the camera.
This is no guaranty and you may proceed at your own discretion. The locking mechanism is a
little plastic and spring which after years of use breaks. what I did was to simply support the
plastic with a bent staple pin. The pin holds the lock in place and is able to return it in place
every time I open it for battery replacement.
This fix felt very firm once I was done and I have done this for a few of my friends. You may
improvise with any form of material. Once you unscrew the small sheet of metal on the battery
door you should know what to do.
My process is explained in a YouTube video. All you may need is just a precision screwdriver set
and small pliers. If you get very handy, this idea or process can be applied to a lot more models with
similar mechanisms. Follow the link and do not forget to subscribe.
