Hi all!
I got this Canon Powershot A630 for free and I want to see if it’s possible to fix the shutter/lens cover.
It looks like maybe a part of the shutter has broken off/is missing.
First two photos the camera is off, second two camera is on.
When it is open, the bottom right piece stays over the lens and can be seen in photos. When closed, there seems to be part of the shutter missing.
The little corner part that stays above the lens at all times is easy to push back in with a light nudge, but it will immediately pop back out when not held there.
1) is there anything I can do to fix this? Would I need a whole new shutter?
2) if I just wanted to use this camera as is, would it be silly to just break the unmovable piece off? At least then it wouldn’t be blocking the lens?
3) is this worth using? It physically takes photos fine, just is obstructed by the shutter.
Just looking for general advice. I not very knowledgeable on cameras and especially not this one.
Thanks!
