So, does this mean that one the camera is put back together the lens open automatically again?

Lothar L. - Sep 8, 2019

Ja, das ist so.

Hallo,

bereits das dritte mal habe ich ein Objektiv bei der S9500 ausgebaut und ein Ersatz eingebaut, jedesmal geht die Kamera nicht mehr an.

Was kann das nur sein? Einen Akku Türschalter hat diese Kamera ja nicht.

Habe schon hunderte Nikons zerlegt, passiert mir nur bei dieser Type, da muss doch was verstecktes eingebaut sein?
