Advertisement Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 Hi fertumsh, Take a look here R8 small black component. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
davidmknoble Posted July 10, 2023 Share #2 Posted July 10, 2023 Hard to tell how big it is, but looks small. Looks like some sort of padding / sound reduction. Slots, no screws. If the camera continues to work, you can consider keeping it, or talk with the seller. Not mint condition if something jams the shutter…. ???

fertumsh Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted July 11, 2023 its piece of thin aluminium about 12mm x 15mm painted black on one side and looks like it was glued in place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted July 11, 2023 Share #4 Posted July 11, 2023 Looks to me like a hot shoe cover and is roughly the right size. Perhaps someone (unwisely) popped it into chamber so it wouldn't get lost? Although you'd think that on the hot shoe would be a better place. Pete. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To see where it goes, take your lens off and fire the camera on B, keeping it open. Here is what it looks like on my R9 - which is similar. I would return this camera. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmknoble Posted July 12, 2023 Share #6 Posted July 12, 2023 Nice find @Huss I was trying to figure out where it would have come from. Would not have thought to look there! Agreed, I’d return it. Not mint. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
