Введение

My camera was auto focusing only after power-up, all menu buttons were not active (there was a workaround of switching camera mode e.g. A->P to enter the main menu). Taking photos was still possible.

That were results of stucked first action circuit of the shutter button: camera was constantly detecting slight press of the button leading to that strange behaviour.

Hopefully I found the microswitch replacement at mouser. Costs only ~2Euro and is fully compatible or even same as used in factory.

Ifixit helped me with disassembly, now I'm paying off describing this guide.

Excellent article, I would like to know what should be done to replace or repair the mode selector of the camera, (Dial mode) I appreciate this great contribution. Greetings.

Edgar Delgado -

Mode selector switch is visible on 2 photos of buttons module PCB. Look for a switch with blue knob on 2nd Photo of step 16. I dont know the serial number or replacement.

Andrzej Majchrzak -

Thank you so much for reply.
