Introduction

A functional camera lens allows the user to use their camera to the full capabilities. Without the camera lens, no pictures can be taken and the camera becomes useless.

This guide requires careful handling of the inner parts of the camera, paying special attention to not disturb the camera sensor located inside of the camera lens.

Ensure your device is powered off before attempting to remove your camera lens.

A few years ago, I had a 30x zoom like this. It got a spot of dust inside the lens that showed up in photos, especially zoomed-in. I tried to unscrew the front of the lens to clean out the dust but the plastic broke, ruining the camera.
