User experiences:
This photo was taken by dad as an amateur photographer. I wanted to surprise him on his 57th and got colors done. The Fireia âadvanced instructions’ helped me square out each fine detail. He was truly impressed by the detailing. Great feature.
My grandparents were very upset that our dog tore up their wedding photo (accidentally). I got Fireia restoration, enhanced image quality, added an artistic border, and gave them a quality print. Â
Stephanie and I met at the annual scouts’ day in Toronto. We always missed our picture together in the uniforms from this meet. I uploaded some of our pictures from school and got Fireia Makeover. She beamed I got her the best anniversary gift ever.
Our gang of friends won the tug of war in Oktoberfest in the late 70s. You know how all that goes, the photo was âshaky’. My daughter got me restoration large print, and it looked great. Â
It was summer 1944 and trousers for ladies were catching on. Our photo of my grandmother, on her first pair of trousers, got water damaged. I shopped around for someone who could restore and retain the charm. Â
Our new branch was doing well and the big man was stopping by for Halloween. It was fun and frolic and group photos happened. We got a few âmakeover’ done as the group in Pirates of the Caribbean theme. Everybody loved it. Â
We are starting a photo gallery in our town house. We raided all the cellars and got out the shoe boxes â what was disappointing with the considerable silver fish damage turned to joy when we saw the first restored samples came out. Thorough job.
My friends’ wedding was organized in a rush â and I was the best photographer around. Sadly, the photos did not have the best of lighting and there were grains. Well, I got DIRT Masters to retouch the images and the prints came out as good as professional.
I had a rather bold tattoo done in college and it showed up in some of our wedding photos. My husband was cool, but I wanted our wedding photo to be proper I got DIRT Masters to clean that up. Good thing, the makeover left the skin tone intact.

We take immense pride in our ability to combine graphics art with software technologies which helps us consistently deliver good quality at globally competitive pricing.

Our passion to provide 100% customer satisfaction guaranteed deliveries brings us back to our production desks and image processing lab every morning.

Digital Camera Repair Problem #2 – Broken Lens

By: Thomas Drayton

About the Author

I own a digital camera repair and parts business in the St. Paul MN area: http://www.darntoothysam.com

(ArticlesBase SC #1190726)

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Digital Camera Repair Problem #2 – Broken Lens

Digital camera lens repair is as common as LCD repair, but it’s #2 on my list because it’s harder to repair and there are so many different types of lens problems whereas a broken LCD is a broken LCD no matter how you look at it.

Here are some basic tips to avoid breaking your lens:

- Do not leave the batteries in your camera in the camera bag. The power button can be pressed accidentally causing the lens to extend and get jammed because it cannot open properly inside the bag.
- Try not to drop the camera with the lens extended.
- Don’t ever pull or twist on a lens that is not working 100% properly, you will just break it.

I would have to write a book to fully explain lens problems fully (hmm.. maybe a good idea!) so I will try and keep it simple and informative.

The lens is made up of many different parts… Let’s start with the several pieces of glass referred to as the lens elements.

The outer lens element is prone to being scratched and scuffed, and usually has a special coating on it that you DO NOT want to clean off with isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), or Windex or something similar. It’s not the end of the world, and don’t worry about it if it’s missing. Just keep the lens clean (why are there fingerprints on your lens anyway??) and scratch free.

The inner-most lens element is responsible for the fine focus and resides directly in front of the CCD. When you press the shutter button half way down to focus, this part moves forwards and backwards till it’s in the correct position and your image is in focus. You won’t be messing with this part of the lens… unless you feel like removing the lens from the camera and then tearing down the lens to get at it’s ‘guts’. It’s kinda fun the first time, but uh… I wish you luck getting it back together properly. The tearing apart stuff is fun, the putting it back together is a drag!

The lens has two small motors with their own gears that connect to the two main parts of the lens. The larger motor drives the lens barrel in and out when zooming. The smaller motor drives the fine focus element mentioned above and controls the focus. If you get ONE GRAIN of sand in these gears, they will jam and the lens will “error out” as we like to say. Open it up and clean it out if you like, but it’s not easy. Typically the main motor of the lens has 5-6 different gears that must be set and aligned properly to function. But hey, your lens is already jammed, why not see how it works, right?

Then there is the CCD, “charge-coupled device” which translates the light that enters the lens into a digital signal that the camera can record.

There was a very large CCD recall by Sony over the past few years that covers many manufacturers and not just Sony, as Sony provided the CCDs to many others for their cameras. The defective CCD’s cause the camera to take solid black photos, or purple/pink “dripping paint” photos, or they have repeating white horizontal or verticle lines on the images. If your camera does this, call the manufacturer and tell them you want a repair under the CCD recall no matter how old your camera is! IF it’s on the list, you might get your camera repaired for free.

Got spots on your images that get bigger and smaller as you zoom in and out? Most likely there is a spec of dust on your CCD. You will need to remove the lens and then remove the CCD from the back of the lens and clean it off. Don’t lose the gasket that goes around the CCD, don’t get any other dirt inside the lens and don’t leave any fingerprints! Tall order I know, sorry, I’m demanding. =)

Let’s see… what else? Your lens is part way out, stuck at an angle becuase the camera was dropped while turned on. Now please read that carefully; the lens must be stuck part way out or all the way out, and one section of the lens MUST be stuck at an angle. The lens must not move freely at all for this section to apply, and you may follow this advice AT YOUR OWN RISK. The following repair trick works, but I am not repsonsible for your actions or anything you do to your camera.

Ok, it’s stuck at an angle. Hold the camera with the angled part of the lens resting against the edge of a table, and the rest of the camera hanging over the side. Do not place the camera facing down with the “Canon Zoom Lens…” chrome ring section flat on the table. The rounded edge of the lens must be what makes contact here. Now… here is the tricky part… press the angled part of the lens back into alignment by pushing down on the lens on the edge of the table. Put your fingers on the LENS below the angled part to support it and press firmly but still gently (how do I do that? I don’t know.. you just do it) and the lens will either POP!! back into place and work perfectly or it won’t budge and no harm will be done, -OR- one of the “guide pins” that run inside a small track in the lens barrel will break off and you have just destroyed the lens.

I told you it was at your own risk!! Camera repair is fun… right?

Ok, how are we feeling about lenses? I think we have covered most of the basic problems, and I hope this helps you to get your camera repaired more quickly and cheaply!

Digital Camera Repair Problem #3 – Bad Design and Broken Battery Doors

2010-09-02 | 0 Comments

Digital Camera Repair Problem #3 – Bad Design and Broken Battery Doors

So your battery door broke off and is gone.

Your battery door has broken tabs on it and no longer holds closed tightly so the batteries don’t make contact and the camera won’t turn on.

Your battery door is removeable on your SLR so you can add on a grip with extra batteries… and where exactly did you put it down?

The tiny little piece of plastic on your CF (Compact Flash memory card) door broke off and your camera won’t turn on!

Oh man… how many cameras out there will not turn on because your memory card door is open, or the battery door is open, even though there really seems to be no reason for it? It’s frustrating… these flimsy little battery doors made from a tiny glob of plastic are ultra thin and snap like a dry twig, (take the Canon Powershot SD750 battery door for example… don’t get me started on how badly it was designed!) making your camera useless. What were they thinking when they designed this?? Did ANYBODY test this thing? Did anybody stop for one second and ask what the reason was behind it?

I could work for ANY major digital camera company and tell them exactly what is wrong with the design of any new camera they release and save them hundreds of thousands of dollars in warranty repairs and upset customers! Think they would hire me? No way; I don’t have an Engineering Degree or a PHd is Physics so what do I know, right?

Well I know plenty having fixed THOUSANDS of cameras over the past 5+ years, I know what is wrong with your camera if it is a certain model before you even tell me.

Sony H2 or H5? Broken shutter button. Canon SD850? Jammed lens Canon SD750? Broken battery door… I’m not going to list dozens of cameras here, that’s not what this is about.

What do you do with your camera when one small piece of plastic is broken or missing? You paid hundreds for it and once again the guy at the store tells you “Throw it in the trash, this one is better, it goes to 11.” (A little movie humor there, hey it’s 1:30am I’m entitled) Tell that guy at the store a resounding “NO!” and walk out. Go home, get on the computer and get surfing.

Back we go to ebay… search for your model number and “door” or “parts” and voila, look at what you find!

—> As a side note here (I’m kinda proud of this so bear with me) I was the first and only digital camera parts store in the world on ebay. I bought cameras by the 100′s and repaired what I could and then parted out the rest. I sold all those annoying little parts that you cannot buy anywhere for dirt cheap! for a battery door and all you do to install it is twist it into place… and that “geek” at the store told you it would be 5 to send it in to Canon or Sony and have them do it for you…

So you don’t find your door or part there, keep looking, don’t give up yet. Don’t want to repair it yourself, no problem, there are places that will do it for you. Hopefully you will find one with decent prices; don’t pay anyone to install a battery door for you… please.

(Google: affordable digital camera repair… I hold 7 out of the 10 listings on Google page one!! But enough about me…)

Broken battery doors and memory card doors are very common. I think we would see a lot more customers asking for them if only they knew they could actually repair it and get their camera back working for less than -30! It really is that cheap, with many doors for only -20.

I hope this helps you with your camera repair, and allows you to keep your camera and get it working again for as little $ as possible!

How to repair audio on digital camera recorded videos?

Question by mantona69: How to repair audio on digital camera recorded videos?
I recently went on holiday to magaluf, there are 28 videos but all the videos from one of the nights has no sound, just static. I have tried converting the file to different formats but nothing so far has worked. Any ideas?

Best answer:

Answer by John P
Is the sound now working on your camera? Do a test and see. If so then there might be some hope, though personally I can’t help. If sound is now as it was in Magaluf then there is probably a camera fault. Was the sound working before you went on holiday?

What do you think? Answer below!
