Canon SX 530 HS Lens Reassembly

LensProblem — Fri, 31 Mar 2023 00:37:32 GMT

I am looking for instructions on how to reassemble the lens on this camera. It fell and jammed the lens. I have taken the camera apart and have found no broken parts. I need help putting the lens barrels in alignment so they extend and retract appropriately. A video on reassembly would be helpful.

Thanks

Greetings,

The SX-530 is about 8 years old. I'm not sure if Canon is still servicing this model. If you log into mycanon.com and register the device, you can see what service options are available.

For liability reasons, Canon does not provide disassembly or reassembly instructions.

Repair videos may be available. You'd have to search YouTube for that. Another option is US camera, they sell diagrams, schematics and parts. Canon will also sell you parts if you know what you need.

Repairs can be tricky, and they often require parts, tools and calibration equipment most of us don't have access to. Because of this, I am not an advocate of self-repair.

Another option you might try is midwestcamera dot com.

I would suggest you seriously consider this option from Keh Camera:
