You may notice that your photos are showing signs of wear and tear, such as blurry or noisy photos, or buttons not working properly. If this is the case, it may be that your product needs maintenance to return it to optimum condition.
We believe it is also a good idea to regularly use our maintenance services to help prevent failure at a crucial moment. We recommend every 2 years, however, more frequently may be required depending on how heavily the product is used.
Cleaning
After a long period of use, or in extreme conditions, dust generated by the mechanisms of the camera can find its way to the surface of CMOS sensor or ND filters. Also, it can attract dust and dirt when lenses are changed. This may cause black spots on your images.
It is essential to make sure the sensors on your equipment are clean and working correctly. Our maintenance offers cleaning and checking of CMOS sensor, ND filters and glass of mount. To reduce the risk of your images being affected, we recommend one of the following services:
Focus Matching
Over time, your AF sensor may gather dust or sustain impact damage, or your lens may have deterioration of your Ultra Sonic Motor (USM). These factors can affect the quality of the focus and the images you take.
Our EOS and Lens services includes offer a comprehensive set-up and checking process, with full function checks and image analysis, which makes sure your cameras and lenses are maintained within the manufacturer’s specifications. Performance tests are also carried out, to ensure optimal image quality and functionality. We can also realign your camera and lens together to the best configuration using our Focus Matching service.
Please note that to include Focus Matching as a part of your EOS and Lens services, you will need to send your camera and lens to adjust them together.
