Title: RANT: My camera
Post by: brummie on May 12, 2006, 12:31:37 PM
Me AF assist cover came off at some point yesteday. :(

So i phone fuji to get a replacement - bearing in mind this is a tiny piece of plastic that just pushes on the outside, and they want me camera in to replace the friggin case its in. WTF???? i could replace the part in seconds myself!! So dissapointed at them. its gonna cost about Ã,£8-10 to send it. Bet the actuall bit is about 20p.


rant over

Blue tack mate... or white tack, build a little shell over it. then cover it in a few coats of black nail varnish. Leave the front clean of course :) perhaps use a tiny bit of plastic (nibble it down or use a hot wire to burn/melt it) from a cd case or similar to protect the front :)
