This weeks lineup.
Just one repair on Fridays.
Only one repair today on one of my favorite Canon models. The 518SV not to be confused with the older 518 is a great well balanced 8 offering 18/24 and slo mo and single actuation via the remote. I highly recommend this camera to first time buyers. I am replacing all of the front optics.
When your your repair wiring to the back of the cell battery compartment fails. It's always the red wire on the back that's the issue. As you can see here the wire had detached due to crrosion. Resolder it? The wire most likely has unseen damage so it will need a new wire. Works fine now
Here is the part that causes the failed manual exposure in the 814 and 1014 AZE models. I just repaired two 814s with this problem. Now they are perfectly working as intended.
