Sanyo VPC S1415 Instruction Manual

Did you try it like it is said in the manual? press the button half till the camera is focused and then press the button completely down?
Don't expect the camera to shoot with the same speed as a camera with film did. Give it some time to focus and everything will be fine (I hope)
If not let me know.

You can check one of these special contact lens cleaners below:

You may download a copy of the manual here.

Try these procedures.

Does the lens extract? If not it may be the reason for the image. Do not bang the lens or camera in the hope of releasing it. If it was dropped it may need to be reseated. Take it to a photographic shop for inspection.

How do I start recording on this VPC-S1415? No Manual! Frustrated! Please help! Thanks!

The systems control board has detected a problem with the camera lens and shut it down. The lens is run by a tiny motor that extends and retracts for focusing, the motor has seized or the gears have jammed preventing operation. The only option is to take it to a camera technician to see if he can salvage the lens, or replace it.

This blog explains the problem you're having, and things you can try to fix it.

They say about half the cameras can be fixed, trying their suggestions. Good luck, hope you're in the "fixed" half!
