This is encouraging to see it can be fixed but I don't think I have the patients for those small connector ribbons. I did notice focusing problems before the lens finally jammed up. This Cannon camera has 30X Zoom and I am looking at buying a new Canon camera with 40X zoom but it is $399. so I will watch for a sale. Very good video. TIP you may want to mention that if you wear dark glasses and turn the camera 90 degrees the screen will blank out. This is due to your dark glasses and is not a problem with the camera. I finally found this out after trying to take several blind vertical photos without being able to see the image in the lens due to my dark glasses. I bought the 2 year extended warranty and got my first cannon camera replaced under the extended warranty at Best Buy who uses Geek Squad. I also learned to keep the camera in a carrying case on my belt instead of in my pocket to avoid dust in the lens.

Hello again. I spent three days in order to fix my camera Canon SX710 HS. I followed your interesting guide, but in spite to clean deeply the zoom system, the camera did not work and the problem of zoom elongation without close persisted. I intended to get a new zoom system and replace, but there are not for my camera, I checked by internet. Conclusion, when I will enough money I will buy a better camera, my Canon SX710 HS had four years of life only. Thanks for your tutorial, I really learned so much about mechanic of a compact camera.

Excellent video and narration!! I was going to send my SX710HS out to have the sensor cleaned and get rid of all the floaters in there. But the lens jammed and I figured I should just write it off. While watching your video I thought, wow, that's a lot of work. But, I decided to go for it anyway. The first connected tab broke before I had a chance to even see it. Must have been brittle I guess. Major bummer. I was excited to do this. Thinking of getting the SX740 but weary of the same lens issues.

While the lens was apart, did you notice how that the inside of the outer lens element might have been cleaned and if that activity can be initiated without disassembling the lens?

Very Good video! ^_^ Its the only video for Optical Lens Disassembly for SX710 HS! :) I take some time to find your video... :( But you must add "Canon SX710 HS" in video title! Its why its so hard to find your video and why there is only 750 views... :(

Great video! I have the SX700 HS. When zooming, 50% or more, the focus goes in and out. It worsens the closer I zoom. Full zoom is completely blurred. Is this a problem with the zoom lens or autofocus or could my lens just be worn out from use? I noticed the extended lens move slightly when I made a right to left upward arch video shot. I touched the extended lens afterwards and it felt loose as it easily slightly moved side to side when extended. I watch this video to see what is involved in the teardown thinking maybe it had loosened with use and needed tightening. But from the lens assembly I saw in the video, I’m now wondering if my lens is just worn out from use.

How did you demonstrate that your camera works after you assembly all parts, because you only shown until assembly the lens? It was a hard work, plenty of difficulties and if you make a little mistake I think the camera will not work properly, specially the electric delicate system.

Contrary to all of the people below, watching this showed me that there is no way I can do this myself. My camera dropped for just a second in the water and I waited 3 days to try to bring it back on. It looks ok. I mean as far as you can tell for sure. I will give it 3 more days then toss it in the garbage.

Hi. I need help with my Canon powershot sx150 IS. I dropped the camera frontside down from a really short height. Because of this, I am unable to turn the camera on because the lens wont move forward. Its stuck midway. Should a deeper disassembly be actioned? Or would minor fixes from the outer part help it be a better fix? My camera does turn on. It just wont turn on completely. Hope to hear from you. Thanks!

You should first try to help it by pulling on the lens at power up. If that doesn't extend it (after multiple tries) you may need to try taking it apart. If you watched this video you can see that this is a challenging process. Good luck!
