Removing the WSG cover
The Integrated Guider Port of QSI 500 Series WSG models is integrated into the camera cover.
Converting a “ws” model camera to a WSG requires replacing the “ws” cover with the WSG
cover. Changing filters or replacing the color filter wheel also requires that the front cover of the
camera be removed. Place the camera face up on a stable surface. Using the included 3/32”
Allen wrench, carefully unscrew the 8 screws holding the camera faceplate to the camera back.
6 of the 8 screws holding the WSG cover to the body are clearly visible looking at the front of the
camera cover. The remaining 2 screws are accessed through the recesses at the top of the
camera on either side of the Guide Camera Adapter. Removing those two screws requires a
“ball end” 3/32” Allen wrench. A complete set of “ball end” Allen wrenches is included with QSI
500 Series cameras. Insert the ball end of the 3/32” Allen wrench at an angle as shown below.
After removing all 8 screws, lift the faceplate straight up to remove the cover. To attach the
cover, carefully position the cover over the camera body and tighten all 8 screws. The WSG
cover is held very rigidly using just the 6 long screws. In most situations, you may find it easier to
not use the two shorter screws at the top of the camera.
