Repair advice?
Hi! I am looking for some advice on my G7x mark ii. I’m not a legit photographer so I don’t know too much about cameras and just use my camera for fun and traveling with friends, but obviously the camera is an investment so I want to make sure I’m doing the right thing.
I recently dropped my camera in the sand and tried to blow on it to get all the sand off. It mostly worked and the camera turns on, takes photos, and seems to be functioning just fine. The only issue is that when I turn the camera off, right before the zoom/lens flattens back all the way into the camera, there is a little crunch sound. There must be a piece or two of sand stuck somewhere and I want to take the right route to repair it, but I am not sure what that is.
I know Canon does their own repairs where you have to send the camera in. Is this what you would suggest and do you have any estimate on how expensive this could be? Or is it something where I could take it to a Camp repair shop?
Thanks so much!!
