My Sony DSC-H50 Digital Camera has the following symptoms. When I turn it on, it appears as if it tries to move the lenses, but they do not move. A message appears on the screen turn the camera off an on again. This does not work. Removing the battery and then turning the camera back on does not work either. I tried initialize and reste the parameters to default, but that does not help either.I can view pictures that are stored on the camera

Ok, it indeed sounds as if your camera has developed a spontaneous fault. You seem to have done all the correct things. The only other thing is to possibly try a brand new freshly charged battery. but I doubt that it will change matters, but it is worth a try. Please find above, Service manuals, (I could only find pay for links sorry) One simply cannot do anything technical without one, the top link, is the Sony support center.
It is nearly always my professional opinion that one should always get a "Quote" from the manufacturers recommended service center, I cannot stress how important that last point is. It is even worth the cost of shipping. you see an authorised service agent, will have trained staff, trained on their brand, also they have first hand access to parts, original parts. This will actually save you money and ensure you can actually get it back fixed. Of course asking for a "Quote" also gives on the option of repair or replace. Often my clients,do not go through with repair, unless it is moderate, but in some of the more costly jobs they see it, as do i, that a replacement, with a warranty, is a better option. As an aside here, one could then tear the TV down, and sell the Known Good bits. You'd be surprised who needs parts, i myself often must by from third party sources to effect a repair. So money could be recouped, somewhat,and help out someone else. Also then one can make an informed decision as to repair or replace.

Hello

This is most likely caused by the lens gears possibly broken or stuck, there might be sand or dust or similar that might have gotten inside, another common thing is if the camera was dropped this happens.

there may be other issues involved but thats as much as I can say over the internet.

To solve the issue the camera needs to be taken apart, as this is a high end camera, you don't want to ruin it by attempting to fix it yourself, I would recommend that you take this in to a repairer.
