Close-up of the Lens Housing
As a result of this cameras fall, the little
gear will not turn at all.
Lens Barrel removed from the Lens Housing
Note! The small gears.
This is a two part housing.
A top and a bottom. The Sensor
circuit board assembly holds
the two halves together.
Another shot of the small Gears
Just to the right/top of the cable you will see
one of the two small spider gear sets shown in
a following picture. They are stacked one on top
of the other and I think they control the aperture.
Barrel slots for moving Lens
When the silver part is in the camera it is fixed.
Turning the Bull Gear via the motor caused the
lens to move back and forth.
This is what was jammed prior to my taking it apart.
Lens Barrel and Lens Housing
Having a problem with re-assembly.
The two halves must mate together
and the two cables are routed thru
the case.
Some of the Small Gears inside the Lens Barrel
Notice the odd shape on the middle set.
When assembled into the lens barrel
they adjust the aperature?
Hope the odd shape is on purpose and I
wonder if their position is critical.
Well if the camera starts up after I
reassemble I guess I will find out.
Does anybody still wonder why cameras cost so much?

Gear; Axel Shaft and Retaining Clip. ( Straight pin for size reference)
See the next picture. This is why I have up till
now, been unable to reassemble the two halves
of the Lens Barrel. Finaly found a cover access
plate that was glued to the outside of the case.
These parts were removed and the two halves
of the unit slid together.
Going to be a job to get that little clip
back on. Hope I don't drop it.

Lens Housing almost back together.
After removing the access plate and finding the
gear inside.This gear has been the reason why I
could not align all the gears and pins to reassemble
the lens housing assembly.If you notice this gear
must fit between the two gears shown.After
repeated tries I found that this gear had to fit
between one that was on the top half and another
on the bottom half.I took an eye loop and found
that there was a side cover glued to the outside
of the lens housing. I took this off and removed
the very tiny clip and then the axel and gear. The
housing slid right back together.
This piece was left over
When the camera was mostly together, I had this
silver color clip and a screw left over. I thought
I had taken pictures of all items as I went during
the tear down.Could not find a picture of this part,
so I took my good working c-32020z apart looking
for where this part went.Problem,this resulted in
the fact that I now had two cameras to put back
together.The good c-3020z is now back together
and operates very well.
MODE DIAL/ ZOOM LEVER/ SHUTTER BUTTON
To accomplish this repair, you must
remove the top and front covers.
I replaced this unit as it was very
jerky on the zoom and the shutter
button would stick causing the Flash
to not fire correctly. There is only
one screw to remove.
MODE DIAL/ZOOM/SHUTTER BUTTON ASB'Y
It is held by one screw. See previous picture.
