Problem for Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50 Digital Camera

Sony DSC W50 - lens stuck




By ail101 on Jul 18, 2007

" "
A friend of mine dropped my camera - much to my annoyance - and now the outer half of the lens is stuck. The camera still functions correctly for viewing pictures, but when in picture taking mode I get a black screen and it tells me to try turning it off and on again, and I do this only to get the same message again and again.
I've only had the camera six months.

-   I am on my 2nd camera in this model DSC-W55 and the lens has stuck on both of them. The first one i owned for 6 months, and this one I have owned for 3 months. After reading numerous posts, I am convinced this camera is cheaply made and poor quality.

I have just had this problem, my 4 yo tried to use the camera and accidentally let the camera fall to the floor.

I grabbed the lens with my hand and carefully tried to realign the lens. It worked and saved the camera. I hope it works for you.

The lens mechanism is wrecked.
I guess a repair will cost nearly as much as new camera- get your 'friend' to treat you.
