Cameras I have this sony cybershot camera, DSC-P72, It was working fine when I first got it, but now its not. It only started not working when I changed the batteries. Is there a specific type you must have or is it something else thats wrong? Thank you.

This camera needs really strong batteries. Even if the batteries work great in other devices they might not work in this camera. Buy some FRESH (yes check the date and get the ones that will expire the latest) Alkaline Batteries and give it a try. Rechargeable (NiCad) batteries never worked for me. This is the very reason I got rid of my P92 (same camera with higher 5.1m pixel optics)

Hello

OK, the max memory support on this camera is 4GB.

Kind regards
Andrea

Take a cloth pour some poroxide on it (not WET but damp) and run it over the circuts while its not powered up or has batteries

Confirm if you're using a fully charged Battery with the Camera. Check if you're able to playback the images normally. Then, try to reset the Camera by either pressing the Reset button when the Camera is in ON condition or by removing the Battery and pressing the Power button for 1 minute and reinsert the Battery. Unfortunately, if the issue persists your Camera requires service.

You can create the service request at the following page: www.eservice.sony.com

If the lens is stuck, you might have to get a new camera. Or you can take it to a local repair shop. Or you can look it up online

Has this camera got Movie Mode?
