My digital camera of canon brand is broken. where can i fx it??

The little part of my canon camera, which shifts the photo camera to video and the slideshows, is broken. Where can I fix it? or better yet, where can I buy the replacement to fix it myself???

Unless your camera is covered by warranty, it is probably going to be too expensive to repair. Most electronic things like TV etc. are are not repaired because it is cheaper to buy a new one. Just to make sure, you could check with Ritz and Best Buy for prices.

The following may be helpful in the future. This won’t help you decide to buy or repair, but could be the answer to some of your problems with any camera.

The secret to making digital cameras work better is having good electrical contacts between the batteries and the camera.

Digital cameras require lots of power. If electrical contacts are not really good, this can cause lots of problems so battery and camera contacts must be cleaned properly. Batteries may have a full charge, but will be viewed by the camera as low if contacts are not really good. The LCD display is a low steady load, but with extending the lens, focus, optical zoom, and flash charging in the capture mode; it is like starting a car. With bad contacts the camera can do strange things like shutting off with the lens out.

GREAT HINTS Most cameras will reset or restore if batteries are removed for at least one minute. Insert batteries again and restart the camera (Make sure the batteries have a good charge). Remove extra memory to eliminate this as a possible camera problem. If all else fails, read and follow all camera instructions.
