Sony Camera Repair

We can repair your Sony cameras and lenses under warranty or out of warranty as chargeable repairs. Either way, you can rest assured your equipment is in good hands. If your Sony camera is not in warranty and you are interested to know our usual costs, please see our price guide below.

Whether you’ve cracked your screen; damaged your sensor or perhaps your shutter has decided that’s one shot more than it’s willing to give, you can rest assured that your camera is in safe hands. Our expert team of Sony specialist engineers are on-hand to re-build your camera from the frame up if needed.

Keeping up to date with the latest firmware can be a challenge but it’s good to make sure you’re getting the most out of your camera. We keep a close eye on the firmware versions of each camera we service and can make sure your camera is up to date.

Firmware updates can be carried out along with a sensor clean or you can check our firmware tracker to find the latest version and instructions for installing the firmware at home.

Blank LCD Screen

The LCD display on Sony cameras is essential for accessing the camera menu, reviewing images and monitoring video recording. When these displays start to fail or if your screen is damaged or scratched it can really disrupt your photography and filmmaking.

Variable angle LCD displays on Sony mirrorless camera bodies are connected to the main camera body by a flexible printed circuit board. With repeated use this flexible connection can begin to wear out, or the screen can become loose, and lose connection with the camera.

Our technicians have access to genuine Sony spare parts so we can bring your screen back to perfect working order.

Sensor damage and IBIS in body image stabilisation repair

The sensor in Sony alpha cameras is held in an image stabilisation system that allows movement in up to 5-axis. The sensor is exposed when the lens cap or lens is removed and we have seen cases where the sensor has been impacted, scratched or the sensor filter cracked.

IBIS systems can be knocked out of alignment if the camera receives an impact or even a heavy bump. In this case your camera may display an error, your images may not appear level, and the sensor will look as though it is set at a wonky angle within the camera body.

We hope this never happens to you, but in the unlikely event your sensor is damaged our Sony specialist technicians will provide a free estimate which details the work required to bring your camera back to standard.

Hot pixels and dead pixels

Hot pixels are single pixels on a Sony sensor that are putting out the wrong signal to the camera’s image processor resulting in a bright speck in your images. These may be more apparent when shooting at higher ISOs, recording long exposures, or shooting video.

Dead pixels occur when a pixel has failed and is no longer sending any signal to the image processor. The result is a black pixel in your images. Dead pixels can occur at any time and may be due to the sensor overheating they are commonly encountered by photographers using their Sony camera for long exposures or video.

The remedy for hot and dead pixels is re-mapping the sensor, instructing the camera to ignore the faulty pixels. In severe cases where re-mapping is not possible our Sony technicians may suggest a sensor replacement
