I sent in my camera while under warranty to have the LCD worked on (it was shutting off sometimes when it shouldn't have). Since I was sending it in anyway, I mentioned that there was a hair inside the lens that had been there since I got the camera. It wasn't really hurting my pictures any that I could tell. I got my camera back without the hair, but it also was taking REALLY weird pictures that were barely recognizable. I have no idea what they did to make it act so badly, but I guess that having someone open your camera is risky. Of course they are fixing it again, but it means that I've had to pay shipping twice and have not had a workable camera for a month now.
I'd be very cautious about doing it myself though, and make sure that it won't affect the warranty if you do. Just having the camera opened up had also caused the battery compartment to become almost impossible to open without a tool. |
