-   My lens cover will not fully close or open by itself...I have to force it manually to open fully. I've taken this puppy to the beach and everywhere I go for several years...so I'm pretty sure it's due to dirt build up. Is there any way I can clean the mechanism myself? Is there a lube for the mechanism?-   Dan55
Try using a can of compressed air on the shutter mechanism. You may have a piece of grit between the blades. Also whilst the camera is switched off you can gently move the shutter manually when you do and there's something stopping it you'll feel it. Move the shutter up and down quickly and the grit may fall out. Even a gentle tap with the camera upside down and the right way up may dislodge any dirt. One of my customers had the audacity to put a dab of super glue on the shutter. He never had a half open shutter again. A bit drastic but it worked for him. He ended up fitting a UV filter to the lens and his lens is safe from damage or dirt.
It sounds like the shutter mechanism is dirty, or you have a bad spring. Try taking it to a camera shop and have them clean it. It is not very expensive, and well worth it if it fixes the problem.

I just bought a charger for the Dimage F100 and the book says to take the battery out before charging and it doesn't say how long to charge it. So do you have to have the charger plugged in to get it to work or what? Thank you for your help Cathern Arney
