Dear Isaiah De Leon !
I have a Sony RX 100 Mk4, and it is out of order. :(
First just the digital zoom button (up on the camera) didn’t work
Later the manual zoom (lens ring moving) didn’t work
Now the rest of the marked buttons does not work.
(Sometimes yes, but usually no funcion at all)
The camera was handled care, didn’t fall down, no water contact!
Sony service says, no physical problem, they advise the panel to be replaced. (It is about 120€ + 60€ working fee)
Some Sony fan member advised “the little cable just under dial there that connects all the controls has slowly slipped out. “ could be the problem,
Could You please send a picture which cable can it be, or please any other advice.
Thanks!!!
