はじめに

The lens of the Sony Handycam DCR-SR42 is one of the most important components in order to successfully record and capture images. A broken/ faulty lens would lead to a blurry recording or prevent the camera from recording images at all.

Replacing the lens of the DCR-SR42 is a simple procedure that will take no more than 30 minutes. However, the user should be careful when disassembling the camera in order to avoid damaging the flex cable or any other internal components of the camera. The user should also ensure that the battery is disconnected from the camera at least an hour before disassembly is attempted, since capacitors inside the camera can remain charged with electricity some time after the battery is removed. It is necessary to allow capacitors to discharge to prevent injury to the user or damage to the camera.
