p.1 #1 · Anyone know about the dial/replacing it? (Sony A7 IV)


Dropped my camera while out hiking, and didn't notice while out hiking that the top middle dial popped off:

- It's not completely clear to me: Does it just "pop" on? There's no residue on the surface - doesn't seem like glue or anything was used? If it just "pops" on, then I'd have to assume you can also just grab the dial and pull up... but I also have to imagine it's not actually that loosely put on an expensive camera?

- The dial still appears to work as I can (difficult) still grab what's there and spin it, and it adjusts both ways as expected...

- As you can see in the photo, there's impact damage on that corner - everywhere else on that dial area seems fine though. I imagine if the dial is just a pop-on cap, it should fit just fine even if I have to sort of shave away the burrs standing up a bit?

I couldn't really find any references to this replacement part, nor actually find the part outside of AliExpress:

Anyone know if there's maybe somewhere else I could buy the replacement part? Another thought was 3D printing, but I have nothing to really go off of.

But no point in buying it if it won't go on/if something else is actually broken?
