Camera Repair in Vilnius: What to Bring to the Branch
You can visit us on weekdays from 9:00 to 18:00; the branch is closed on weekends. No advance preparation is needed, but a few small details will shorten the inspection and help identify the fault more accurately.
Mechanical, optical and electronic problems occur in cameras from all manufacturers, and diagnostics determines their cause.
- the camera itself with the lens, if the fault may be related to it;
- the charger and battery, if you have them – sometimes the battery is worn out and the camera itself is not at fault;
- the memory card (if you want to keep your photos, it’s better to remove it and keep it);
- a short description of when the problem appeared: after a drop, moisture, sand, or for no apparent reason;
- a sample photo, if you can see a spot or blurriness.
If the camera got into water or had liquid spilled on it, do not turn it on „just to try” – bring it to the service center. A damp camera that is switched on may be damaged even more.
What Happens After You Leave Your Camera
First, fault diagnostics is performed – it costs 10 €. This determines whether the problem lies in the optics, the shutter, the focusing unit, the flash or the mainboard.
After the repair, we provide a 2-month warranty. Prices depend on the type of work: for example, sensor cleaning starts from 15 €, shutter repair from 25 €, and lens or focusing unit repair from 30 €. The final amount depends on the model and the extent of the damage.
If the camera is insured, we can prepare a photo equipment fault report for the insurance company – it costs 30 €, and whether it is reimbursed depends on the insurance company’s terms. You can find the full price list in the table above, and a general description of our services on the camera repair page.
When It Is Worth Repairing a Camera
The decision usually depends on the nature of the fault and the camera model. Spots in photos or a dirty sensor can often be removed by cleaning, while repair after liquid damage or a hard drop may be more complicated.
For those who want to better understand how their camera works, we recommend the article on how a camera works – it helps explain why certain faults occur.
Do not change the lens in a sandy or dusty environment, as tiny particles often end up on the sensor.
