Hey I have a P7700 that shows a lens error and focusing doesn't work.

I took it apart and removed the focus motor and it seems that the focus lens moves as it should but when turning it on the picture will be blurry for a second until the lens error comes up.

What issue is fixed by replacing this focus lens?

Hello.

Do you have a service procedure to fix the exposure dial in this camera?
