I have a T90, and the eyepiece shutter is stuck in the closed position. Can one of you give me some advice on repairing it myself, or direct me to someone who can? thanks |

The eyepiece shutter is easily repaired/cleaned once the camera top cover is removed. To remove the eyepiece lever, remove the rubber center cover to reveal the retaining screw. The top cover is not particularly well sealed around the eyepiece frame, this allows dirt/moisture to reach the eyepiece shutter blades. Most of the ones I have cleaned seemed to have been gummed up with spilled beer/other beverages!
You can find the T90 repair manual on the internet. However the only real point to remember is that you should only loosen the two screws, located above and below the back catch button, just enough to allow the frontplate to be sprung free - after removing all other frontplate screws. If you remove the aforesaid screws, you will allow the catch spacers to become free and cause you some grief as you relocate them!
As you do not indicate were you are located, I cannot advise on a repairer if you do not fancy DIY, but any good repair shop will be able to free the mechanism very quickly. |
