Will camera maintenance affect the use?

Like many misfortunes, don't panic. Excessive emotional reaction will not help to deal with things rationally, but will make the tragedy repeat itself again and again. Panic will only make you make mistakes again. Stay calm, but some rude words should be allowed.

2. Collect all debris

After you are emotionally stable, you should start cleaning up the scene immediately. If you are in a public place, you must act quickly and collect all the scattered fragments and parts before being kicked away by others. You can also ask for help when you need it. You never know which part or fragment is the key to future repair. So even things that seem less important must be put away.

Take out the battery

If the battery does not fly out of the camera by itself (most batteries have protective devices), take it out as soon as possible. If some functions of the camera can still be used, this may cause secondary damage to the circuit. So remember to turn off the camera completely and take out the battery.

Step 4 take out the memory card

I have never seen a memory card in a repaired camera (it was still in it when it was sent for repair). I made such a mistake the first time, and I often hear people say so. Memory card is not only an electrical product, but also contains your photos. In order to avoid secondary damage to the camera and your life, you should take out the memory card and put it away immediately. Remember to dry the memory card if the camera falls into the water.

5. Don't move.

I have to feel guilty about it. I once tried to repair a half-broken camera. It turned out to be completely damaged, and it will cost more money to repair it. Unless you are a professional, don't use an expensive camera as a learning tool. Give it to professionals.

6. Check the warranty period

Before sending the camera for repair, the maintenance staff will ask about your warranty. This information is easy to obtain, and can be obtained by email, telephone, looking at the logo of the fuselage, etc. Remember to ask about the warranty when buying a camera, and collect the relevant bills. I thought the computer had been insured, but I couldn't find the receipt, so I left it for more than a month. As a result, I found out after I found the invoice, and now it is really over-guaranteed.

In addition, be sure to read the guarantee clearly. Most warranties do not cover accidents. You should know these things in advance.

Check insurance

If product warranty doesn't help, maybe you have a family property insurance. Similarly, understand the insurance content clearly and put the insurance policy in an easy-to-find place.

8. Know your right to choose

Not all problems need to be returned to the factory. Local camera shops often provide maintenance services, and the quality and price vary greatly. Most repair points provide free testing services. One time, I found that I only needed maintenance, and I didn't need to replace parts. Another time (yes, I dropped more than one camera), I found that the maintenance cost was much cheaper than expected. So you can ask more places to determine the maintenance service and price before sending it to maintenance.

9. Lease during maintenance period

If you need to shoot during camera maintenance. If there is no good lens or fuselage, you can choose to rent one temporarily. This information can be found online or in the equipment city. Although it costs a little money, it won't affect your shooting activities after all.

10. Looking for second-hand machines on the Internet

During the camera inspection, you can find some second-hand machines online. Photography lovers cherish their equipment and will keep it even after retirement. Maybe you can consider buying a second-hand mobile phone and continue to use it.

1 1. Sell it, don't throw it away.

If the camera or lens is unfortunately completely "dead", don't rush to throw them into the trash can. Hang it online (some websites specialize in buying and selling second-hand or broken things) and try to sell it. Maybe others just need those parts. The repair shop will also use these parts to repair other machines. This is an opportunity for broken things to exert their residual heat.

12. Promotion

Broken things will never come back. Forget it, buy a newer, better and cooler camera!
