Introdução

Get out your 90s DSLRs, the "vintage" photography look is in!

Use this guide to remove and replace the malfunctioning or broken lens on your Nikon Coolpix S200.

Your lens may need to be replaced after the years due to natural wear and tear of age. A common issue of these small cameras is a stuck lens, due to moisture and dust entry. This issue can lead to further damage to the internal camera system.

In Step 9, you will be handling the camera's cylinder-charged part. Be cautious of minor electrocution when disassembling the internal camera system. To avoid the risk of electrocution, wear a latex or rubber glove during this process. Throughout this guide you'll be handling tiny screws: we highly suggest using magnet strips for easy organization.

    • When handling the flash there is a risk of electrocution. The black skinny cylinder attached to the top frame of the camera is the charged flash battery. Consider using rubber gloves to prevent minor injury.

    • Using caution and a slightly firm hand, separate the camera into three parts: main body with lens, circuit board with screen, and the flash piece (pictured second).

    • The main ribbon attached to the lens may come undone during the separation process. If it doesn't you must unplug it beforehand, otherwise parts will stay connected.
