what is the voltage, and capacitance of the main flash capacitor? diameter and length? I want to replace mine as my 'flash charging' symbol constantly flashes and flash does not fire.
thanks for the writeup! I have more confidence in repairing my 10+ year old camera
the cap is 330uF and 90V
dimensions:
11.94mm diameter
25.65mm length
How would I go about extracting the camera module and hooking it up to an arduino?
My cam got saltwater damage however it still turns on for a few seconds before turning off again
What secures the plastic part back to the lens when reassembling?
