Camera lens release button broken

hi, i own a canon t3i, the lens release button got stuck, so i tried to fix it, as i was messing with it, the button simply fell off, i have the spring, and the button, however it won't go back on. i managed to get the kit lens off, but the pin still wont work. any advice/help would be amazing

"... any advice/help would be amazing"
As you have already learned, it is best left to Canon service. In the end it will likely be less costly and way less frustrating.

1D M4 how do I remove lens after broken lens release button

During a weding shoot the leans release button brok. How do i remove the leans?

You may need to call Canon.
The mounting ring on the lens has a tiny hole in it. The lens flange on the body has a tiny spring-loaded pin. When you mount a lens (red dot on lens lining up with red dot on body) that pin is pressed into the mounting flange until you rotate the lens far enough that the hole aligns with the pin and the pin locks into the hole. The sole purpose of the lens release button is to retract the locking pin.
When you press the button, it pushes against a metal tab which pulls the locking pin back. You may actually be able to see a tiny bit of that tab on the lens-facing side of the release button (through the tiny gap where the button fits into the body.) If you can press that metal tab back, it will release the pin.
The release mechanism is fairly simple... it seems as if it'd be hard to break. If the lens is trying to twist (somehow jammed) then it can make it so that the pin does NOT want to retract. If I attempt to rotate a lens which is locked on my camera body I can feel just a very tiny amount of play (which is normal.) If you're lens is jammed in and putting sideways pressure on the pin then it probably wont have any play at all - and that might make it hard to press the lens release.

Is there a way to lock the lens-change-button on 5D Mark III ?

Hey! I just got the 5D Mark III, and after that I got the 70-200 f2.8 IS II
Lens is so good im thinking ill just stick that permanent on the 5D3. But I have a serious problem with the button that releases the lens, I keep hitting it without trying when I remove the camera from camerabag, etc. So the lens falls of. So every time I now have to check if the lens is on properly when I retrieve my camera. I dont know how this happens so easily, I never had that problems with my 350D, 40D or 5D mark II.
Is there a way to lock this button, does anyone have a smart physical block idea to it. Must be something I later can unblock if I want to change lenses.
Right Now its tempting to gaffa tape it somehow but recon I'd ask here first.

Something is not right here. Accidentally depressing the lens release button does not cause the lens to 'fall off'. When de-mounting a lens, there's at least 50º of axial rotation after lock release, with the first 40º offering a degree of stiffness. Removing a lens does involve some degree of deliberate action.
There was a debate about this across at POTN [url=http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=961169]LINK[/url] some months ago; the consensus was that, for those who insist their lenses DO fall off, there must be a degree of user error. But you're here for advice - a one-second precautionary twist of the lens before use'll provide reassurance the lens is locked down properly. Or send both lens and body to Canon for a check-up.

My iPhone 5 died/broken lock button/dust in camera lens

My iPhone died last night. Tried plugging it in to turn it on, doesn't work. My lock button also doesn't work, so I can't try resetting it. I also have so much dust in my camera lens, that it won't focus and I can't take clear picutres. I brought it to the Apple store with all these problems, and they're trying to charge me $269 for all this damage that's the cause a faulty product, not myself. They can't replace the camera, they have to replace the entire phone. What do I do?

It's a common problem with the 4S, but not with the 5. Not that that's relevant. Hardware wears out. "Normal wear and tear" is not a defect. The warranty is 1 year, and you had an option to extend it to 2 years, which you apparently did not take. The lock button on my 4S stopped working 22 months after I bought it. I also bought AppleCare+, so I took it to an Apple store and they replaced the phone.
There are independent service shops that can replace the switch. That's one option. The other is to take it to an Apple store and if it is not long out of warranty and you are not belligerent they may replace the phone for you anyway.

N82 camera release button not working

Hi,
It seems that the camera release button on my N82 has stopped working. When I press it nothing happens - netiher halv-way or at full pressure. Hence the camera doesn't focus either.
*#0000# gives me:

What can I do?
Assign another key to be the the camera release button?
Will resetting the phone work?
Any other suggestions?
Regards
Erling

Got it... but then I lost even more.
The reason why the camera release button wasn't working was because my SDHC had become corrupted. Long story short I got it formatted using the panasonic SD card formatter... and runs a could of checks to ensure it's healthy....
Then I took it to my Nokia phone to format it but here it FAILS!
SInce then the card seems toast. It's not recognized by my phone(s) - it's not recognized by my PC. Not in XP nor in Ubuntu....
Sad!

My iphone6 camera lens is broken as a result of dropping the phone on a sharp object by mistake. I bought the phone from UK apple online store on 12th September 2014. Would I be covered for repairs/replacement?

Camera lens cover broken

hi all, i had my n900 for a while now.camera lens cover(top part) has peeled off from its glue and the wire makes the cover open and close came loose by itself. i have the warranty but i do not want to send my phone just for the cover for 2 weeks. is there any place on web that i can order the lens cover only and replace it my self. its very east to remove since its plastic base.i only have the blue base on the phone now and it is loose so its keep opening the camera mode. very annoying. please help.

Take it to a store (Nokia or network) and ask if you can just have the back panel replaced. Or, try to find one online. Markets usually sell the covers too

HT4993 How much does it cost to replace a rear broken camera lens on an iPhone 4S?

I have a year warranty but I'm not sure how much it will cover or if it will even cover a shattered camera lens. I dropped my phone but keep in mind that the back is NOT shattered, only the lens (on the back) is. Please help! Much appreciated.

Accidental damage is not covered under the warranty - unless you purchased the AppleCare Plus extended warranty when the iPhone was purchased which includes two claims for accidental damage with a $49 deductible for an exchange.
Apple doesn't have a menu of repair services such as this except for replacing the battery. You would need to contact a 3rd party repair service to get a price for this only.

How to clean c5-00 camera lens inside and out

pls help my phone is kinda cloudy when taking pictures... how to clean it properly and clening agents which is found on local market. tnx

Hi phoenixzurc,
If there is dust under the camera lens, please take the device to Nokia Care point and ask if they can clean it. Trying to clean it yourself might void the warranty of the device and potentially damage it. If there is dust on the lens, you can try to clean it with dry cloth.
Hope this helped!

Crummy Camera Lens Blur CS6

The Camera Lens Blur effect that came with AE CS 5.5 and CS 6 doesn't look nearly as good as the old Lens Blur effect that came with CS 5; it's pretty much unusable for my purposes. Foreground elements that should be sharp render sharp, but with a blurry halo around them. The old Camera Lens blur does not exhibit this behavior, nor the Frischluft Depth of Field plugin.
Here's an image showing the depth map and how the three plugins render it:
CameraLensBlur.png
The images are composited from 16-bit PNGs rendered out of Cinema 4D. There's a nasty halo visible around the foreground particle in the upper left in the CS6 Camera Lens Blur version. I saved the old Lens Blur effect as a preset out of a CS5 project and am, fortunately, still able to use that approach in CS6 since the "improved" version of the plugin looks pretty crummy (I skipped AE CS5.5). As a test I installed the demo of Frishluft's Lenscare plugins, and after inverting the depth buffer in the plugin I got a good result.
The "new" Camera Lens Blur is acting like the Compound Blur effect. Foreground elements appear sharp but with a blurry halo since the entire "background" is being blurred, creating a blurred ghost of the foreground element. The old Lens Blur effect was very slow, but it did work.
Anyone know how to make this new "improved" Camera Lens Blur look like the other plugins? I've posted a zipped file with the image and depth map in a small AE CS6 project here if anyone here would care to check my settings. Maybe I'm missing somthing.

Thank you.

It's been now more than 2 years now that Shawn referred to you this "bug". Thing that I doubt to be a bug. However, after 2 years now, and being on CC 2014.2, this is still ugly when using a depth map. The bokeh is nice, I give you that. But you clearly can't use it with a Dmap. I know it's pretty useless to tell you things that you already know, either make a bug report. It's clear now that it won't get any update.
And as someone here said, if you can't/don't wonna fix it, why can't you simply pack the old Lens Blur from CS5 as an obsolete effect ? Or let's go crazy, just buy the Frischluft (Dat name...) blur which works and pack it.
I would love, of course, to hear from you that you're on it and that a new release is coming soon... Anyway.
Just to remind you, here some pictures of what we are experiencing with your Lens Blur using a depth map.
Halo around the lens on the middle until the screw top right... and cannot be fixed by any way with the focal distance. But yes, the bokeh is really nice.
And here with the Frischluft
It simply works.
You could say then, why am I not buying it ? I'm considering it a lot now.

IPhone won't turn on (lock button broken)

iPhone 4s turned off in my pocket and won't turn back on,
the battery was above 60% and I have it charging for 15mins.
I checked the cable and it works with my friends phone.
I cannot hold the lock button and home button(lock button broken)
I'm a bit confused now as to what I should do? Can I do anything from my itunes? the phone doesn't register with my work laptop but will try it with my personal laptop when I get home.

Connect in recovery mode:
Use recovery mode
Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."

IPhone 6 Camera Lens

Just a general comment that with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus now having a protruding camera lens
and has buttons on both sides, how do Apple propose to fix the inbuilt level
indicator within the compass app now that the phone will not sit flat on the
surface or on its side? For the sake of <1mm I would rather have a had it
slightly thicker and a larger battery.

To my knowledge, Apple doesn't specifically list the camera lens on iPhone 6. Here's a link to repair costs. You'll need to contact Apple directly to get an answer: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/other/

Can you get just your rear camera lens replaced or do you have to get the entire back screen replaced?

I recently dropped my phone for the first time, and neither of my screens cracked but my rear camera lens did get scratched badly. I can't use it at all to take picture. It just shows up as a fuzy screen when I open my rear camera. My iPhone isn't even a year old yet. Now, I need to know if I can get just the rear lens replaced or if I have to get the entire back screen replaced? I also need to know if anyone knows how much either of these would cost? Or is it free with the one year warrenty?

You would have to get the rear glass panel replaced, it is one part. Normal warranty does not cover accidential damage. You can do it yourself for 50$:
