after taking i can not see the picture

image formation is not proper so it is the defect of the CCD,so replace the CCD.

If the white spots are on the pcitures that can be several things usually very $$ to fix. The ccd sensor, the internal ram and so forth. If it is on the display then that usually means the camera was bumped and the display shifted a bit in its frame and the contacts are nmisaligned and not making contact properly. The display from Sony and the labor will cost more than a new camera. If you can find a display on ebay and are careful you can replace it but it isn't the easiest job.

Easiest way...format the card in the camera.

I have the same problem does anyone know how to fix this or why it does this?

CCD is damage so that its black screen,it need to replace

Sony has a recall on this issue good until the end of March 2010

The ccd imaging sensor has failed. The only solution is a new sensor, but it costs far more than the camera is now worth and is absolutely not a DIY fitting job.

The Sony 5MP sensor in your model is now infamous for this fault and was fitted to many other makes and models. The problem was so bad that there was a "soft recall" in place whereby owners who complained were offered free repairs. Unfortunately you've now missed the boat as the scheme ended last September for all but a very few models and even those will stop this month. The scheme ended simply because all affected models had passed their minimum design lifespan; your camera dates back to 2004 and had a five year design life expectancy. Any ccd failure after that is therefore no longer regarded as being premature.

Although there was a manufacturing fault with the Sony 5MP sensor causing widespread premature failure, it's the nature of all similar devices even to this day that some will fail early. The faults with your sensor are now well understood and improvements have been made, but it's still a fact that very few digital cameras last more than five or six years before suffering a major fault. Even today, top of the line Nikon SLR's only have a two year manufacturer's warranty and most other manufacturers only offer a single year.

It's worth bearing in mind when deciding how much to spend when you replace your camera; if more camera buyers behaved in this way it would force the manufacturers to seriously address the poor reliability which plague these products. Vehicle manufacturers learnt their lesson a while back and as a result it's now possible to buy a new car for less than the cost of a flagship professional digital camera: it's vastly more complex than any camera but can still come with a seven year comprehensive manufacturer warranty as standard.

Camera CCD damage.It need to replace

Yes. The maximum size memory card you can use in that camera is 4GB
(of course you need a sony memory stick pro duo) no other cards will work.

thanks for asking!

The link also provides a verification test using the movie function. BUT THE OFFER EXPIRES 3/31/2010. === It has come to our attention that a limited number of products, manufactured before March 2004, and incorporating a certain type of image sensor device (CCD), may exhibit the following:

• When the product is used in camera mode, the LCD panel and/or electronic viewfinder exhibits either a distorted image or no image at all.

We have determined that this only occurs in a limited number of devices, but may be accelerated if they are exposed to hot and humid environments.
Until March 31, 2010, Sony will repair, free of charge, the following product models exhibiting the above-mentioned symptom where it is caused by the image sensor device:

• DSC-F717
• DSC-T1

I suspect the battery is defective and if it is overheating it may have damaged your built in charger in the camera. That could present a fire hazard. I would first try a new battery.

It is ccd problem.I hope u using it after long time.After replacing ccd it will work properly

You can also perform the below troubleshooting steps.
1. Press the reset button with a sharp pointed object when the Camera is turned ON. The Reset button is located near the Control button.
2. You can also power reset the Camera. To reset the Camera, remove the battery from the Camera, press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds and then, reinsert the battery.

According to the users manual, the camera does not support above 512 MB cards, however I noticed that there is a firmware update which might address the issue. Go to www.sony.com and support, electronics. Put your model number in the selection box and you'll be taken to the drivers download page.

You can't. That's not how a DSLR generally works. If you use a tripod you can use Live view to compose your image on the LCD but that goes off again when you take the shot.
