A7711 steadyshot error

I had a similar mishap with my NEX-6 resulting in a broken viewfinder glass. Actually it was my 3rd incident in all those years. In 1974 I dropped my MC 2.5/28 and in 2003 I dropped my MD 1.2/50. In both cases the filterring was damaged.
I have got it repaired through a local camerashop/wedding photographer in all cases. Don't remember exact cost as it was covered by my insurance. Definitely less than € 100. Everything worked fine after the drop, except the viewfinder. After repair only a few scratches were leftovers. Camera works fine again. The turnaround time was about 4 weeks.

Received repair estimate From Precision Camera. Services included autofocus test and calibration, sensor recalibration and realignment, complete cleaning (internal and external) optical system general test check and repair all functions and systems. Replace AS slider unit.(anti shake). The cost is $405.00 including $45.00 return shipping. This seems reasonable along with a 90 day warranty so I am going to authorize the repair. Wil post when the camera is returned and after using it for awhile.

Well, your camera and lenses work fine (again) for the foreseeable future, just enjoy it!

Nice to see the experience was good with Precision.
