Canon Sure Shot AF35M II / Autoboy 2 - Flash Repair!

[@wut3962]

Bought a cheap Autoboy II for my younger brother's birthday next month and the flash didn't work, after watching this video I've mended the unresponsive flash and have a fully functioning camera to gift! Thank you!!

[@ran260gt]

Great help, also you need to make more videos...your video production is light years ahead of most KZbin camera channels and you only have one clip posted, come on buddy start make more videos...you’re good at it!!!

[@expireddriverslicense]

wow thanks for the help, this fixed the flash on my long broken af35 !!

[@tuanmai492]

Glad it helped fix your af35 as well !

[@LA-bq6hf]

My flash works but its a really faint light that can only be seen when is totally dark, do you think I have the same problem? Hoping for a response thanks!

[@duntrytohack]

Hey! How do I fix the light that indicates the flash is ready? THanks!

[@laysieeee]

hi! my canon sure shot stopped working, the track gets jammed when rotating the film, do you have a fix for that?

[@lentlx]

I have the same problem ! Let me know if you manage to fix it

[@laysieeee]

@@lentlx unfortunately not :( had to end up selling it for parts cause it was too expensive to fix

[@iya9538]

same here, the price like you bought a second camera, quite expensive.

[@JimmyVi]

Wow this video helped me so much!!! I wanna see more!!

[@tuanmai492]

Thanks! There will definitely be more videos on the way.

Hey, i have a problem with the flash on my canon 35ml but the flash it self is fine is just when i pop up the flash in the does a high pich humming and a weird clicking sound next to shutter button?

[@laugm96]

Hi - I bought this camera and doesn’t work :( I putted new batteries but doesn’t turn on. What you recommended me to check first?

[@abbyshamugam7194]

Hi :) can I use the same technique for my af35m too? It’s just the previous model thank you!

[@runajef]

This is the exact camera I have. I had been using it and then the next time I used it the lens didn’t open. I can hear a noise in the camera but the lens just isn’t opening/responding. What do you suggest?

[@alipat9272]

Do you know how to repair the film door that wont stay closed?

[@edwardreyes7926]

Yes!

i have this same camera and the shutter won’t open or gets stuck. do you know how to fix that?

[@mielmcgregor4807]

Great fix man! I got one with a shutter that doesn't want to close. Any recommendations? Really want to get it working again.

[@tuanmai492]

Thank you ! Actually, my friend had a similar situation where the shutter would not release because it was misaligned with the lens shield. I was able to fix it for him by taking off the front cover plate and getting all the gearing to match up with each other again. Although yours might be a different situation, hopefully that might help you as well. Definitely hope you can get yours working again !

[@mielmcgregor4807]

@@tuanmai492 OK this is great! After I read your answer I started to look closer at the gears! I rearranged them like what seemed where they belong. And it's actually working a lot more than before! Before this nothing worked (only the flash made the high pitched noice when I opened it). The film rewind, the shutter button (etc) did'nt seem to budge. But now they do! It''s not fully fixed though. I have to press the shutter button twice before it goes off and winds the film (at the first click I hear a spring move, the second time it goes off). Also, the frame count doesn't move after taking a couple shot's (there is no film in it though).

[@tuanmai492]

Glad to hear that! It sounds like your camera has correctly aligned the shutter with the lens shield and actually registers it turning on. As for pressing the shutter button twice before it goes off and winds the film, have you tried different / new batteries? This happens sometimes with weaker batteries, if not that it could still be some misaligned parts still. I believe the shutter count will only move with film in it, but don't quote me on that.

[@twinkie1773]

Hey I found this same camera but when I put battery in, it makes a very loud constant noise. Can you help me out plz

[@evesimms1340]

Hi, i recently got a Canon Autoboy 2 (i think its the same as a canon sureshot af35m) on ebay, which seemed to work great (including the flash). But after getting my film developed, every photo I took with the flash on ended up being a dark yellow blank picture. I know I took several of these in light enough conditions that there would have been a visible/noticeable photo even if lets say the flash wasnt synced properly. And the photos where the flash was off were fine. Ive tried googling and found hardly anything helpful, so i wondered if you had any ideas? I would be very grateful! Many thanks, Eve

you got fucked

[@jucup]

Hi Tuan! I don't know if you're able to help me out but I recently thrifted the Canon Sure Shot 70 Zoom. When you turn on the camera, the flash is supposed to pop up automatically. My flash only pops up half-way. The flash works fine, if I manually hold it up/pull it back. I was wondering if you had any idea on how to repair this. I've been trying to find solutions but it seems that this problem isn't as popular.

[@tuanmai492]

Hello! Ah, unfortunately that seems to be a common issue with that model. I believe it happens due to the internal small wire that is tied to the flash to pull it up usually breaks over time. I have never actually tried fixing this issue, but I think I do have the exact same model with the same issue. I will take a look at it and see if I can come up with a solution for you!

[@jucup]

@@tuanmai492 Ah, I really tried to find info for this camera but I didn't know that it's a common problem! The camera is still functional but it does bother me slightly. I'm worried that the camera's flash will eventually lose its function, if I don't repair it ASAP. I tried digging around in the camera but I couldn't get to the part where the flash is mechanically pulled. Thanks for looking into it! It's fine if you can't figure it out. 😭

[@infamismworldwild6248]

Thank you

[@sadakatmaliha11]

Hey, my Canon Zoom Prima 76 Aif works perfectly fine. It was my dad's old camera, I picked it up few days back. And I'm not really sure if the flash's working because when I set the camera's flash on while I'm taking a picture. It doesn't light up, well is it supposed to light up? Or the flash's not supposed to trigger? Could you help me out please? Thank you :)

[@4mom29]

thanks this definitely helped!

[@wehok4593]

Any tips on how to fix the shutter? When I click it nothing happens huhu

[@silversobe]

The shutter could possibly be bent inwards from impact. Try gently lifting the shutter windows outwards with a tweezers. Works for other cameras when the shutter wont open or sticks.

[@user-hu1nh4ju6y]

Like it doesn’t take a picture? Because same

[@psirvent8]

Hello, I just did that, however it doesn't work at all.

[@GolimachannelTV]

[@kindajammy2639]

I have a canon sureshot 120 classic with a missing shutter button. Does anyone know where to replace it or know if other canon shutter buttons are compatible with this camera?

[@igaranmoenmalone8700]

I have a nikon zoom 310 af and i selected the mode with flash and when i press the shutter button, the “off” word pops up and the battery heats up. Does anyone know why is it happening? my flash ain’t working

[@user-hu1nh4ju6y]

I have problem with my camera. Everything is working fine except when I try to take a picture, it doesn’t take the picture. Does anyone know what causes this problem?
