The shutter will have to come out and possibly the sensor and then there is the alignment of the focus sensor. You have a pro level camera that needs to be put back to factory specs. 0.02 On Mon, Sep 5, 2022 at 2:59 PM Howard L Ritter Jr via LUG < lug at leica-users.org> wrote: > I recently had the experience of killing a spider with my Nikon D810A. > > Unfortunately, it was accomplished by the shutter, which smeared it all > over the sensor and dismembered it.
