I have done that with no success

The camera shooting mode/drive mode has been changed to Continues advance which takes four pictures when the shutter is pressed and held. Or it could be on Multi Frame mode where it takes 9 pictures when the shutter is button is pressed once.

Here is a PDF manual that will help.

The link is good I'm using right now to determine the problem.

The following are two screen shots of page 45 of the manual describing what needs to be done to bring the camera back to single frame use.

And page 37 of the manual
This will bring your camera back to single picture with the click of the shutter

When taking a picture, first hold the button to allow the camera to focus then take te picture by depressing the button completly. It worked for me.

CCD is bad, needs replacement. TEst to see if you can see recorded pictures. If not, then professional repair is needed.

Probably a problem with the chip - this model had a recall and free fix...contact the manufacturer for details

Hmmm... your batteries ok? i had this recently and changed my NMHI batterys and cured it...

Sounds like a CCD fault. Many A1 users, including myself, have had this. Allegedly, Sony, who made and fitted the CCD sensors, had a manufacturing "issue" at the time. Many A1s were recalled and others, including mine, have been successfully repaired free of charge by Sony on request. I suggest that you contact your vendor or a local repair shop to discover whether this service is (still?) available in your location. It's well worth the effort as this is a fine camera. Good luck.

i have the same problem. Did you get any answers? Thanks

Maybe the CCD imager is dead. Please contact your nearest Sony Service. If you need more info please advice

This is part of a known problem with the SONY image sensors that operate the lcd. There is in fact a recall that will replace the bad componets. You need to contact SONY for repairs. Check out this website to learn more about your problem. http://www.imaging-resource.com/badccds.html

yes it needs repair. by saying "This doesnt show up before I take a picture" this means their is no problem with the ccd or image taking section. the problem is occouring while saving the photo.you camera needs repair.
