Camera force to close it self l don't no why - Cameras

Do you have it set to bulb, it maybe haunted. just kidding.
Go to menu then Timers? AE lock and set your self timer number of shots the camera can run by itself but you have to set it

There is a small delay after you click a picture so as to enable the camera to focus properly. If you force click then the photo will be out of focus. If the delay is too long then you have to check the settings to see if the self timer is not enabled .
Regards.
plz. Don't forget to rate my suggestion..

it needs adjustment, there are usually an adjustment knobs on the unit it self, (check from the owners manual)...

Self-timer
(10-second delay) it will have a 10 on it


Time to get yourself into the picture. Place camera on a tripod or flat surface.


Self-timer
(2-second delay) it will have a 2 on it

Allows for a steady, auto-shutter release on a tripod.

Self-timer
(2 pictures) it has a 2X on it

Capture 2 shots (one picture taken after 10 seconds and another picture taken 8 seconds later).


First Burst Flash forced off.it has like 2 folders in front of the camera

Camera takes up to 8 pictures (2 per second) while the Shutter button is held. The first 8 are saved. (Capture an expected event e.g., baseball swing)

Last Burst
Flash forced off. it has 2 folders behind the camera

Camera takes up to 30 pictures (2 per second up to 15 seconds) while the Shutter button is held. When the shutter button is released, only the last 8 pictures are saved. (Capture an event when the precise timing is uncertain e.g., a child blowing out birthday candles.)

The door has an interlock on it. You probably broke the door. The door on some of these cameras can be replaced from the outside. You must make sure the interlock switch is not broken as well. The tabs on the housing of the camera can get bent or snapped off if enough force is used.
A broken door will be $75 there abouts, installed.
A broken detect switch, adds about $45 (A board).
A broken case may set you back an additional $75

Hi,
            According to the symptom the mechanical of loading path ayyembly is misalligned and it requires mechanical adjustment, For this contact any expert nearby because its a bit technical job and can only perform by any expert. Moreover you did right that you didn't force it. (By forceing it to close any component in the mechanical sectio can be damadged). Just contact any expert and your camera work fine again.
          Thanks for using fixya.

I am no longer a Sony product fan - this is the most unacceptable performance of any of their prodducts I have ever attempted to use. I have NEVER been able to record ANYTHING with this. The very first cassette - gave me the 'moisture' flashing symbol, and the cassette would not eject. Then after reading a recommendation on this board, I removed and reinstalled the battery a couple of times and the cassette finally popped out - now it won't accept the cassette and close - PLUS will not accept my normal NPfh30 battery and keeps telling me to reattach the power source. and after nummerous tires and camera resets, tried the NPFH100 battery and it tells me that I can not use this battery in the camera. I still get a C:32:11 code and so far this is a non-functional - malfunctioning POS

I have the same problem with my flawless-up-until-today S2-IS. I read in another link the problem is related to moisture causing the iris to stick, requiring a forced reboot. This worked for me, but after putting away the camera for a few days the prblem returned and needed the trick again.

When you turn on the camera and are able to see menus but the image displays are dark, try the following:
1. Place the program selector to "Tv" setting
2. Press the self-timer selector (twice) until you see the timer icon on the screen
3. Press the shutter button to take a photo; the self-timer begins to beep a countdown
4. Open the battery cover BEFORE the timer runs out.
5. After a second, close the battery cover and the camera will power cycle automoatically.
6. The displays should return to normal.
You may have to repeat this a few times to get it to work. Good luck.

Hi The product you have given has Built-in flash with Auto, Forced on, Red-eye on, and forced off (Red-eye reduction On or Off).
There is a 1 1/8" diameter lens with a built-in lens cover that automatically opens and closes when the on/off button is pressed. Above the lens is the viewfinder window, flash and tiny (almost unnoticeable) microphone. There is also a small circle that has three functions: the autofocus assist beam, red-eye reduction lamp, self-timer lamp. A wrist strap comes with the camera and attaches through a slot on the front of the camera near the side.
To the right of those buttons is the four-way controller, used for menu navigation as well as:

• Up - Metering (Evaluative, center-weighted, spot)
• Down - Drive (Single-shot, continuous, self-timer)
• Left - Focus (Auto, macro, infinity)
• Right - Flash (Auto w/redeye reduction, auto, flash on w/redeye reduction, flash on, flash off)

DON`T OPEN THE COVERS - YOUR SELF!!...You have to use ESD!!! Your cameras optical-unit needs operation. It`s not "self-made"-project!
