Canon ZR70MC Front Panel Replacement

Introduction

The panels of the Canon ZR70MC hold the camcorder together. The front panel in particular houses the speaker components as well as protects the camcorder lens. You should have a designated location for the small parts of the camcorder so that you do not lose any pieces. This guide will show you how to take off the front panel, allowing access to the speaker components, lens components, and the circuit boards for the LED lights (for more advanced fixers).
