I have had an A510 for many years and only used Auto setting for my modest photo needs. Today, I opened the owner's manual, found out how to replace the backup battery and continued to read about the various settings. It's quite a sophisticated little camera and is a lot more versatile than I realized. I freed up the sticky lens cover in the process of fiddling with it. Amazing the number of parts, considering the modest costs of little "point and shoot" cameras like these.

Yeah I am not sure how they could afford to make it. Especially since I assume a lot of it was hand assembled.

Thanks for the video! I've got an old powershot a510 and mine's keep showing e18 code. The zoom lens doesn't move at all. I've opened the cover and cleaned it up and it still says e18 even though there's no dust particles inside it. Can i open the lens part without having to open the whole thing? Thanks again!

If memory serves correct I lost interest in tearing this down further after getting shocked, Generally the lens assembly is ultrasonically welded shut during assembly. I'm not sure you will be able to take it apart without being destructive. You could try opening and closing it while blowing it out with compressed air.

I put an SD Card into mine but it still says memory card error at the top do you know how i could fix this? Ive unlocked the card, so it isnt that, Im wondering if the SD card is too big for the camera? I currently have a 128 GB in, should i change it to a lower gb one ?

Yeah definitely too big for that camera. I'd be surprised if it supported a 32GB card. You'd have to double check with the manual but I'd shoot for something in the 8GB range.
