Become famous in one battle and fix 32 water inlet cameras in one night
Li Qingzhi, the real name of "Master Li," is one of the few professional camera repairers in Guizhou. As long as the equipment related to photography is damaged, in his hands, the equipment can be brought back to life, and it can treat "incurable diseases".
"As long as the equipment related to photography can be repaired." Master Li said that in 14 years, the repair scope of the studio has expanded from cameras and lenses to equipment such as drones and lights.

After Master Li founded the camera repair studio in 2006, he began to implement "pipeline repair", in which everyone is responsible for repairing different parts of the equipment, and finally integrating the parts.
Master Li's studio is 120 square meters, and there are four tables filled with various parts. The equipment to be repaired and the equipment that has been repaired fill the studio. Some of the four repair masters are sitting at the table to concentrate on repairing the equipment, and some are busy packing the repaired equipment for express delivery.

In 2007, Master Li's studio set a record of two people repairing 32 cameras in one night.
"At that time, the photography equipment of a tourist group accidentally fell into the water by the tour guide, and all the cameras entered the water. The tour group will leave the next day, and the tour guide is anxious to ask for help in Quanguiyang." Recalling that, Master Li said: "Open the equipment and find that After the water level, it took a few seconds to think of a batch treatment method. "
By working with assistants to repair different parts of the equipment, and finally carrying out integrated testing, I was busy for a whole night, and finally repaired 32 cameras. Master Li returned the 32 equipment to Zhao the next morning.
Rescuing 32 cameras overnight, Master Li "famous in one battle".
If the symptoms are correct, the components can be repaired as much as possible.
"On average, about 50 devices are sent for maintenance every day during the peak period." Master Li said that what he repaired was more of the feelings and memories between people and the camera.

Magnifying glass, small pliers, tweezers ... Master Li's workbench does not have advanced maintenance equipment, but uses these seemingly simple tools to make a camera "return to life".
Master Li said: "The equipment has been used for a long time, and naturally there are feelings and fetters with people. Many of the equipment sent by customers often carry their memories. The emotional value of maintenance is greater than the economic value of the equipment, especially the old-fashioned film camera."
Digital cameras are mostly made of block parts, which parts can be replaced directly if they are broken; film cameras are assembled from countless parts and gears, and some are more than 1,000 parts, which can only be disassembled a little bit to repair. I like listening to the sound of metal gear collisions and shutter sounds. This is a big reason for people who like film cameras.

"There are almost no bad cameras." Master Li said that faulty equipment can be repaired as much as possible, but it takes more time to find accessories. Like some professional cameras, the accessories are particularly difficult to find. The longest used time is half a month. The time is only to find a part.
Some old-fashioned film cameras have been out of production for many years. After the damage, no replacement parts can be found. Master Li copied these parts by 3D printing or asking the fitter to make them.
Master Li said that the repairman, like the doctor, needs to ask, smell, ask, and cut to diagnose the cause, and finally "make medicine right."

"Master Li, I'm here to trouble you again. These camera lenses are out of focus, and the store is in a hurry to use." Mr. Wu of Cultural Media Company came to Li early in the morning with 3 Canon cameras and 5 lenses Master's studio.
"Before a Sony camera accidentally broke, many repair technicians asked me to replace parts as a whole. The cost of repair is very high. It is better to buy a brand new device than to repair it." Mr. Wu said, after finding Master Li, he After opening and checking for a few seconds, it was said that it could be repaired, and it also talked about an unexpectedly low price.

"Mechanical, optical, and electrical circuits, all equipment can be roughly divided into these three major sectors." Master Li said, whether it is a motherboard damage, shutter coil failure or a simple software failure, only to find out the problem, you can take the right medicine and treat The parts are well maintained and the cost of repairs can be greatly reduced.
Mr. Yan, 70, is a member of the Guizhou Senior Photographic Association and a frequent visitor to Master Li's studio. Good technology, good character and excellent price are the reasons why he insisted on finding Master Li for repair.
