Modding the Canon 1100D T3 X50 to a Full Spectrum for Milos Narrated

In this video, we'll convert the Canon 1100D, also known as the T3 or X50, to a full-spectrum camera for Milos. If you're in the U.S., you might have the Rebel T3, or in Japan, the Kiss X50. These are all the same camera.
Starting with the screws, the bottom of the camera has two short machine screws, one long machine screw, and the rest are plastite. On the left side, there are three machine screws, while the right side has two plastite screws. On the back, you'll find two short machine screws and one long machine screw, which is used for viewfinder adjustment.
Next, disconnect the two ribbon cables that connect the back panel to the logic board. To do this, lift the latch on each cable and carefully pull them free. I prefer to use a cocktail stick for this step to avoid scratching the logic board, which can happen if you use a screwdriver.
To ensure safety, cover the capacitor with electrical tape. The logic board is held in place by three short machine screws and two longer plastite screws on the right. After removing these, unscrew the three plastite screws holding the sensor.
At this point, you’ll also need to remove the three shims. Since this is a full-spectrum conversion, the sensor must be shifted forward by 0.3 mm. The thickness of the original shims is usually around 0.3 mm, making them ideal for this adjustment. However, in this case, I had to add one correction shim because the original three were not of equal thickness. Without this correction, the camera could encounter issues when capturing astro images.
Once the shims are adjusted, remove the black frame and reinstall the sensor. Make sure to reconnect the black optic cable that runs from the flash sensor to the logic board. If this cable is left disconnected, the camera will display error messages when the flash is used.
When everything is reassembled and connected correctly, the camera should start without any warnings. It is now fully converted and ready for full-spectrum or infrared photography.
