Surahyo, since this is OT and you didn't mention in subject most piclisters may not like it at all. one thing I will recommend. 1. put it in camera mode and look inside of the lens use flash light move the flash light back an forward and try to see if iris is working or not. it should open and close while you are moving the light. if you see any iris movements this means iris is working fine. if not then look inside of viewfinder and point the flash light directly to the lens if you see any tiny light while you are moving the light this means you have iris problem the solution is to take it in part and clean it I am not sure if you can do that.
