我部G10個鏡頭發霉,過左保養la~
佢話要換鏡,要成千幾蚊....
我好鍾意部相機所以應該會換.

我想問下,會唔會部機裡面都發左霉???
如果係咁換左鏡係咪都好易再發霉??同埋換左鏡可以捱幾耐如果我kp住影相?
再發我冇錢再換架la><"
避免發霉係咪要放入防潮箱,多用d同曬下佢?

唔該晒呀!!!!

When the technician changes the lens, he will check if there is any other parts inside that's got mould or mildew and requires repair. If warranty has expired, of course, they should give you a quotation and let you decide if you want that extra repair, as that's going to be at your expense, extra expense.

In the future, you should really put your camera in dry box lah, esp. in spring time when humidity is really high.

BTW, my G10 also has mould problem. It's in the zoom rocker (the circular ring that you use to vary the zoom from wide to tele). It got some light green oxidation, possibly reaction to the metal surface due to the sweat of my last use. I just painted it black with a marker pen. I checked with C/S, guess how much it cost to change that little thing? $960. I will have to think twice for such a minor fix for this price,

如果我而家唔換住, d mould會唔會愈黎愈多?我點先可以kill左鏡頭入面的mould?

Well, for your case, if the mould is inside the lens unit, it's better that you have it fixed as soon as possible, as it could spread. After all, mould is a living organism.

For more careful examination, switch on your camera at "shoot mode". If there is indeed mould, you should be able to see little dots/patches/circles of grey or green stuff under good lighting. If you really see them, there's got to be mould.

Anyway, you can just send it to Canon C/S for a in-depth check. Of course, if warranty has expired, the inspection alone will cost you (I guess about $300), but if there is going to be a repair job, the inspection fee will be "transferred" to the repair bill.

As far as I know, for problems with the lens unit of a DC, the only way to fix is a complete replacement of the entire lens unit, probably with the CCD.

Good luck!
