Take it for service / repair - or replace it

I have had the same problem. Here where I live is a renouned camera repairman. I took it to him and received the bad news. He said the "frame" was bent , and it could not be repaired. It needed to be replaced. I am really suspicions yours may be also. We here at "fixya" have no prices or parts for anything. We are only a consulting group of people. God bless your efforts.

Crickets, as with other insects, have compound eyes which do not contain pupils. You are going to be very disappointed if you are seeking a camera to photograph that which does not exist.

I would recommend you contact the manufacturer and speak to them as it sounds like a faulty unit, alternatively take it back to where you purchased the camera from and get a replacement.

Unless you have a lens collimator and other equipment to ensure proper alignment when you reassemble the lens, don't even think about taking the lens apart. Take the lens to a reputable camera shop and let a qualified and properly equipped tech handle the cleaning.
