Problem for Konica Minolta DiMAGE F100 Digital Camera

Shutter will not fully open or close




By morris on May 25, 2006

" "
The automatic shutter gets stuck at different points and causes a shadow in the image corner.

It will not fully open when the camera is turned on and will not fully close when the camera is turned off.

The only solution to this problem is invert the entire camera and shoot that way.

-   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.
