Hello, my sony cybershot DSC-W200 is stuck on USB Mode since last night ( Mass storage) and doesnt want to change program or take any pictures. Is there anything i can do such as reinitialise it with a program or should i take it for repair. Many thanks.

You mean clicked on USB mode. You should be able to find this memory stick as a drive by clicking on computer and looking under "Removable Storage". Just click on drive that pertains to this memory stick.

I would try to plug in your usb cord to the camera and computer and then disconnect it after.. that should reset it.

you should open the mass storage device and open its contents your pics should be in a DCM file

it means that your camera is set to have the memorystick detected when connected to a computer. ( camera have options to have memorystick or internal memory detected by computer)

Use a card reader instead of your camera and you will not have this problem.

You've reached the point where you need to start using a separate card reader.

Hi,
you cant do anything with that device. you have to consult with a technician or claim the warranty from Sony.

i think i had the same problem, if u press the home button and then press shooting then hit the flash button on the right hand side it should change the mode.

Hello,

In regards to your settings on your camera, I would suggest trying Auto first and then Mass Storage second. Auto in theory should detect the proper settings needed and adjust automatically. Mass Storage setting would treat the camera with your card like a flash (thumb drive) and would work also, however the software included with your camera will most likely work best with the auto setting. One quick question before we get too deep into this, is the card in your camera a brand new one or does it have pictures on it?

You most likely need to change a setting called USB Connect under main settings 1.

Default is auto
I suspect it is set to mass storage and is causing your hassle
