Dear All, Trying to find a solution for a shitty situation im in right now. Would hope that you guys could help. I live in Cairo, Egypt. Bought my camera 2 months ago from Dubai, UAE. All of a sudden, i was taking a picture and the screen went all black. When trying to take another picture, the camera shows "Camera Error, turn off then on again". I took off the lens and found that the shutter curtain is stuck in closed position with a small metal hinge or something sticking out. As could be seen in the image below. [sorry for the low quality] When i touched that metal part sticking out, it snapped back in and the shutter curtain opened again. When i took another picture, the exact same thing happened again. The thing is, my warranty is only valid in UAE, and i'd hate to ship it there for repair as it might take to long.. I urgently need the camera up and running by mid-April because im going to mexico and the US. My options are: 1- Do a non-warranty repair in Egypt which might cost too much and i honestly dont trust them with my camera. 2- Do a DIY fix which wouldnt damage the camera [Preferred option] 3- Ship it to Dubai for a fix 4- Take it with me to the US for a fix. However, im not staying that long over there and i dont think my warranty would apply there Sorry for the long post, Im kinda freaking out over here Thanks in advance
