7D Middle Button came off and missing

[anthony.phua]

Just realised this morning that the middle button of the joystick control pad came off and is missing. Can't find that small button anymore and now have to use finger nail to press.

I'm quite upset because the camera is only slightly less than 1 year old and this has happened.

Really makes me doubt about Minolta's QC.

Anyone has any interim suggestions? Of course I will call KM Service Centre on Mon to see if they've spares.

I think you're the first to have this problem.

Sorry to hear about that....
I think KMSC should have spares...

Scarry but i hope its an isolated problem. Or isit due to mis-handling??

Interim solution? Stuff a custom cut button out from an eraser. Should work jes fine.

Hope to hear from you when you get any feedbacks from KMSC.

Just sent the camera in for repair at KMSC during lunch time.

Was quoted S$30 for the repair but luckily was waived since the camera is under warranty.

Supposed to be ready within a week..but let's see.

Will keep you guys updated.
