Question : Self Maintenance On My Kodak Easyshare Camera
I have a Kodak Easyshare Z712 IS camera, which my little cousin dropped accidentally. It landed on its corner, and the click wheel on top popped up a bit. The camera still works fine, but it will only take photos on the default Smart Scene setting, I can't change anything using the clickwheel. I took it in to be repaired, but not only would it take $50 to ship it to a kodak repair centre, but the guy behind the desk said it would cost over $100 to fix it. Now the camera was only $240 so I was wondering if there was a way I could just pop it in by myself. I've taken all the small screws out of the frame, but the peices still wont come apart, and I'm scared i'll break it further.Should I keep trying to repair it (if so, how) or just settle with taking pictures on the default modehttp://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2007/08/08/kodak_wideweb__470x359,0.jpgit really looks like a quick fix, if i could just get the casing apart i should be able to just pop the wheel back in place, does anyone know how to open it
Answer:
If you can't stand shooting in Smart Scene only then you have no other choice but to repair it or replace it. If you try to repair it yourself you'll have to understand that it may not work out as you planned, which is usually the case. What happens after you dismantle the case I'm sure that no one here is qualified to tell you what you need to do next.As a counter argument, the $240 camera of yours just lost over half of its value. Your Kodak EasyShare Z712 IS won't be able to record video and you won't be able to use any of the manual modes. In essence, your Z712 has been reduced to a $110 point & shoot with a nice 12x zoom lens.My advice would be to keep using your Z712 IS until it's got nothing left to give. Meanwhile, start saving for a new camera.Follow-up:Does the mode dial move or is it stuck If it moves, then it's probably more complicated than it looks. If it's simply stuck because of some displacement, you may be able to fix it provided that nothing is actually broken. There are screws all over the body; check the battery compartment. Sometimes screws are hidden behind stickers and labels. Cameras are assembled in layers in most cases. Try pulling the frame sections apart lightly; you may need to assist with a flat head screw driver. The drop may have tightened the parts. It may be more difficult if there are snap-on parts involved.Also, check to see if there are any seams or screws in the flash compartment (there shouldn't be a need to unscrew any part of the flash unit itself). I'd keep it up as it may be holding certain parts together when it's closed and locked.
