Introduction

Before replacing the lens, make sure to open the lens cover (use the switch on the side of the lens) for a better look at the scratched or dirty lens. If you suspect the lens is just dusty and in need of cleaning, replacing the lens is not necessary.

Tools

Phillips #00 Screwdriver

Step 1

Remove the 4 mm screw on the underside of the camcorder near the tripod mount.

Step 2

Remove the 4 mm screw next to the buckle of the hand strap closest to the lens.

Step 3

Open the LCD screen. Remove the 4 mm screw on the inside panel, located at top left corner.

Step 4

Firmly grip and pull the front casing on the lens to remove it.
Be sure to remove the front casing at gently as possible to prevent damaging the attached ribbon cable. If not careful, the ribbon cables could be torn.
