in India. The product that I bought is that SONY DSLR

to the destination which is why I always prefer digital cameras with modern features. I bought
this
device for 1500 USD having a 5-year replacement warranty in case any parts are damaged or not functioning. Recently, I observed that the shutter button of my device is not responding well. Once I click on the shutter button to capture the picture, it shows one piece of information in the
camera
display "Check the shutter button". I have tried to check and identify the initial problem but nothing has been found to fix
this
issue. As you are providing after-sales service for any product you sell, I am expecting that I will get the proper solution regarding the problem that I am having with the
camera
that I bought from your store. Looking forward to your kind solution and feedback regarding
this
matter. Thanking you, Faisal
