Hello JockiToru! Thanks for the guide.
I took the liberty to correct 'lense' to 'lens'... You can have many lenses, but only one lens!
Also 'bellow' is an air pumping device. I suspect you meant 'lower', so the word is 'below'.
Again, thanks and I will be testing you disassembly, as there seems to be an annoying small insect in my camera.
Hello Jon,
thank you very much for your feedback. I hope you were able to remove that insect.
Thank you for the guide! my SX170 is taking shots properly again, had to clean the lens after it was kept for a long time, it saved me the cost to bring it to a shop to have it cleaned.
