Nikon Coolpix L120: Zoom Control Switch not working

Sun, 23 Sep 2018 07:26:12 -0700

The top zoom control switch can zoom in but does not go back to the wide angle side prior to taking a shot. And it displays to turn off camera. Side zoom switch works most of the time.

Camera is 1.5 years old, have not used much may be around 200 shots.

Please advise if there is a solution for the zoom control switch.

Nikon DSLR: Why is the viewfinder blurry on my Nikon D3200?

Sun, 25 Feb 2018 12:49:08 -0700

I just bought a new nikon d3200 camera and it turned out that it came with really blurry viewfinder. The first idea was to adjust dioptric wheel right next to it, but nothing changed. Then I tried reading the manual and following all the steps described there, but turning dioptric adjustment wheel doesn't make any effect. When I look into the viewfinder at angle I can see some of the numbers pretty sharp but when looking straight nothing is visible.

This problem does not affect the picture quality, they all come out in focus. Even when I turn the live view mode on, the picture on display is sharp.

I didn't drop or hit the camera, maybe something happened during transportation although it was well packed. However it was extremely cold outside when the camera was delivered.

Any ideas how to adjust the viewfinder or fix it myself? I bought this item on eBay and it comes with no warranty.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W310: Big Black mark on screen

Fri, 10 Feb 2017 17:11:43 -0700

My name is Jennifer Cameron and I have a Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W310 Camera which has a black mark on the display screen (I think inside of the outer layer of the display screen) and it partially covers the view of what I am trying to take a picture of. (I think moisture may have got inside the display screen.) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Canon EOS Rebel T6i: How to fix an LCD that won’t flip orientation?

Sun, 01 Jul 2018 22:37:56 -0700

This issue appeared after a few months of ownership.

The LCD is supposed to flip its orientation when folded out and physically rotated (for selfie mode or when folded back into the camera body to face out). However, now the display does not flip its orientation when physically rotated. It still works, but when rotated back into the body of the camera, the screen, including images and menus are upside down.

This seems to be quite common for the T6i, as well as other canon models such as the 60D. I’ve done some searching online, and a friend with the same camera has this issue as well.

My question is how do iFixit? My guess is there’s a sensor in the hinge that’s malfunctioning. It looks like the hinge mechanism can be accessed separately from the LCD and the main body of the camera. Has anyone successfully fixed this at home?
