My sony cybershot dsc-m1 flashes an error code: E:61:00

This error has something to do with the auto focus function not functioning correctly.

I have hear of many FIY repairs for this like hitting the camera on the palm of your hand or dropping the camera but I do not recommend this.

What I could recommend is the following :




Watch this clip on you tube an do the same.

Turn off the camera.
Place it lens down on a table with something soft below it like a cloth
Turn camera on
Let the lens extend into the table
Let it do this a few times each time extending and retracting.
And after about 2 or three times the problem should be gone..

If it returns however you should have it looked at and if it is still under warranty , i would suggest you not do these steps.
