i m having problem with the AF illuminator light. the problem seems to be either with the shoot button or with the af illuminator light. when i press the shoot button half way, i expect the af illuminator to light up, and the auto focus lock indicator to appear and beap when it is locked to the image. This is not happening. It only works, when i press the shoot button full way down, the camera focuses itself on the image, but it is not the way i want it to be.
Thanks for the assistance whenever it comes wherever it comes from.
-   I was told by a repair shop that I needed an electronics board, $65.00 and $40.00 labor. I haven't done it so I don't know if it's true. DSC-H5. -   Guest

-   Very similar problem with my H5 - less than 18 months old. The problem is intermittent right now. Press lightly on the shutter button, and the focus lock should activate. Sometimes it will, other times I have to fully press the shutter button and hope the autofocus does what it's supposed to. Aggravating. -   elvisqbelush

-   Same problem with my H5. Button seems to not work when pressed on half way. This way it take so long to take a picture. Imposible with children. Any solution?-   Dementia

-   Yes having the exact same problem with my H-5 only after about 4000 pictures. Changing the focus setting in the menu from single to continous makes the camera usable but much slower to focus. Any ideas on repair?-   Guest

I'm getting red eyes or white eye spots in most of the evening or night photographs. I have made settings of Red eye reduction to Auto. It was fine earlier but this started just few months back. Daytime photos are quiet clear and error free. I have tried with full battery charging before using the camera but results are same with eye spots. Pl. advice.
