If your Canon EOS 40D camera’s shutter button is sticking or not working properly, use this guide to replace the shutter button.
A functional shutter button is necessary for any photographer to capture their work. Over time, the shutter button on a camera may become damaged or broken. If you notice your shutter button sticking or it is unable to function, consider replacing it for optimal use of your Canon EOS 40D.
Before using this guide, assess your shutter button for any trapped debris. Shutter buttons often become stuck when dust and grease gets trapped inside. A simple cleaning will oftentimes fix this issue without needing to replace the shutter button.
In order to complete the replacement, the front, back, and top coverings of the camera must be disassembled in order to access the shutter button.
