I heard it through the grapevine that Teleplan has a coupon for camera repair. Use coupon code MM2010 at checkout – 10% off your camera repair order

I am not sure how long this code will be valid, so use it while you can.

This is not an advertised special but they did email 25,000+ of their current clients with the code so I think they don’t mind if you use it.

I like to carry a small camera with me every where I go – my phone camera just doesn’t hold enough pictures to make it a good on-the-go camera. until recently I have been carrying a Kodak easy-share camera with me until it broke. Instead of getting it repaired I decided to recycle my camera and to buy a new iPod Nano with a camera. This little thing takes awesome pictures and it has a ton of free space to store my images. Now I think I am going to fix my old iPod and give it to my little sister.

Were you already trapped in that situation when everything was working out well and everything was in perfect harmony on a momentous occasion, and when you were ready to capture the crisp of the moment, your camera just wouldn’t work?

Now here’s what you can do. Try turning off your camera then turn it on again. When it’s turned back on, switch to any of your camera’s mode except for the automatic mode. You can then turn off the flash and click on the shutter button. Did your camera capture any picture? If yes, go on reading.

Check the Screws

Most, if not all, cameras have their own safety feature that thwarts off the flash capacitor from charging if its container is opened, hence lessening the likelihood of getting an electric shock. Flash capacitor containers make use of one or two screws along the camera’s perimeter to accomplish a circuit that automatically tells the processor the container is closed. Make sure that all the screws are intact and that no gaps are present along the ridges of the camera. If a screw is missing, you would just have to replace it.

Check the Batteries

If all the screws are intact and nothing seems to be wrong with them, you might want to check on the batteries. The batteries that you are using for your camera might have already reached the point where they just stop working. It may also be possible that your batteries simply don’t have the adequate energy to make the flash capacitor work. It may be best to try a better brand of batteries or you can always purchase NiMH batteries that are rechargeable. In the long run, rechargeable batteries will prove to be more convenient and budget-friendly.

Professional Assistance

If the two procedures do not prove to be useful, then a more serious problem might have risen like the possibility of a faulty flash tube. When cases like this happen, it is best to consult and seek professional assistance.

A shutter is a camera element or piece that permits light to enter by opening and closing a slit. A stuck shutter is a common problem which camera owners usually experience. A shutter trapped closed will generate black pictures. A shutter trapped opened, on the other hand, will produce overly bright images.

Going to repair centers is a good option, especially if your camera is still within the bounds of its warranty. Do note that mechanical shutter repair is pricey and labor exhaustive. However, if your camera is already outside warranty services, and your budget is rather tight, you can opt to fix your camera’s stuck shutter.

1. Make sure your batteries are fresh to accommodate the next steps that you will take. Turn your camera on and deactivate any features that may drain the batteries’ power. If your digital camera has an image stabilization feature, turn it off as well. Place your camera in any mode except in the Auto mode then switch off the flash. Lastly, turn of the LCD screen by pressing the “DISP” or “DISPLAY” button.

1. Have your camera in any mode that will provide you the longest moment of exposure with no amount of flash. For most Canon cameras, this is the “Long Shutter Mode” or the moon or stars symbol. For other Canon cameras, this is the “Shutter Priority Mode” or that sign that resembles a television. For cameras other than Canon, you may simply set it on a manual mode and turn off its flash.

1. Proceed to a darkened room. A darkened room combined with your camera with no flash shall give you a prolonged exposure. Now take a picture. Exactly after pressing the shutter click, while the shutter is attempting to budge, open the door of the battery and immediately close it back. The purpose of this action intends to briefly disrupt power during the time of exposure.

1. Go over the process until such time when the shutter turns out to be unstuck. Testimonials from people disclose a varied number of tries before their camera shutters start to work – three times, four times, fifteen times –it would all depend on your camera.

If the abovementioned procedures still would not work despite numerous efforts, you may want to try what several people reported on doing to fix their shutter problems – this is by using extreme caution with slightly tapping your camera against a wooden surface. Hopefully, one among these two steps will help you work out your shutter trouble.

The E18 error is a dread among digital camera owners as it means they will be dealing with a lens problem. But what exactly is the lens problem? The lens of the camera is either stuck in the extended position or is unsuccessful when it tries to extend. If this happens, there is no need to be troubled. Provided below are simple steps for your convenience that you can always refer to when such problems arise.

1. If your camera is still within the warranty period, it is best to get in touch directly with your digital camera’s manufacturer instead of going to repair stores. Most repair stores will just send your camera to its manufacturer for repairing then will charge you triple the price. Try the repairing only when your camera is out of the warranty period.

1. If your camera is already outside the bounds of the warranty period, you may consider taking the following steps:

• Make it a point that your camera contains fresh batteries. Place your camera in its recording mode. Turn off the camera, take out the batteries, wait for 2-3 minutes, then place them back on and turn on the camera. When all is set, turn off the camera and try to force the lens of the camera. Place the camera on its back. The lens should be facing up. Look at the lens and its housing closely and see if there is a noticeable gap. If there is a gap, it should be easy to fix since such a problem happens when a camera is accidentally dropped. Carefully push down the lens on the part where the biggest gap is. You will hear a click when the lens gets back into place. Turn on the camera and see if it functions.

• If the abovementioned process does not work, try this method instead. With a very fine end blow off gun and a 20 lbs dry compressed air, place the fine end of the blow off gun between the body of the camera and the lens turret, then turn on the dry compressed air as you move the fine end in the region of the lens. This process will remove the dust and dirt that disables the lens from moving properly.

• Thumping the padded cover part of the USB on a solid surface is another method of fixing the lens. This may sound simple but it works.

• If none of these processes works for you, you can try taking the camera pieces apart and clean the lens. Please refer to search engines or to your camera’s user guide for this process.
