Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S30 Digital Camera Questions & Answers
Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S30 memory stick
Without being accusatory, it is likely that something bad happened to the camera (a drop, and accidental liquid spill, etc.). But the bottom line is that it sounds like you did all the proper things, and I'm sure you tried a full charge of the camera's battery. The good news is that a quick check of Amazon shows this camera to be fairly easy and cheap to replace at this point. Its listed as a 1.2 Megapixel camera which by today's standards is low enough in resolution, that you probably can replace it for about $20. Sony may be willing to service it, but I'll bet replacing it will be cheaper. Sorry to be a bearer of less than good news.
E61.10
This looks bad.
The manual says:
A camera malfunction that you cannot reverse has occurred.
Contact your Sony dealer or local authorised Sony service facility and inform them of the 5-digit service code. (example: E:61:10)
It hurts, but it looks to me you have to look out for a new camera. Because repair costs on an almost 14 year old camera, will exceed the price of a new camera with much better specs and again one year of warranty.

Consider NOT using the USB connection.
The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

I cant download my pics
I'm sorry to inform you that the camera is not compatible with new Operating Systems like Windows Vista, 7 etc. Hence it is not possible to connect the Camera to those computers with the supplied USB cable.
However, you can transfer the images using the Memory Stick slot on the Computer. Please remove the Memory Stick from the Camera, insert the Memory Stick slot on the Computer. If you doesn't have a Memory Stick slot, you may also purchase an external Memory Stick reader for cheaper price to resolve the issue.
Thanks for understanding.

I'm sorry you're experiencing difficulty with transferring images from the Camera to the Computer. I have provided a link you can view the steps to transfer images:

The Camera may not be compatible with newer Operating Systems. In that case, you can remove the Memory Stick from the Camera and insert in to the Memory Stick slot on the Computer to transfer the images.
If your computer does not have the memory stick slot, you may purchase one as it does not cost much..
Thanks for understanding.

No zoom
Hello
The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the
probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.
Use
these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.
Firstly ,
try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.
Try holding the
shutter button while switching on the camera.
Look at the lens ,
and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then
try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).
Try gently
pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may
cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.
Another
way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and
then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to
not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and
down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the
camera is enough to get things going again.
Try hitting your
camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of
your hand.
Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair
center for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to
replace the camera.
If it is still under warranty I would suggest
you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any
off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about
warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.
You can also have a look at THIS link.
Hope
the advise is useful. please do not hesitate to let me know if you need any further assistance.

The Zoom in and out
The focus is not guided by the tele/zoom and irrespecctive of it the camera must focus sharply.
If the zoom is not working( auto) then it is also possible that the servo to control the focus( motor drive) is also not working.
Hence your picture stands off focus.
Remove battery and replace gently tapping the lens hood to see if therer is any mechanical jamming of the drive.
If there is not help then you might need to open the camera but my advice is to take help to open and look. Check first for the motor /motor drive to be intact , checck voltage to motor on triggering of the key, if voltage is present motor mechanism needs a reset. If not the control circuit is faulty.
ERROR C:13:01
I had the same problem... just switch on the cam with the memory card in it. Then go to menu, and in that find the FORMAT option and format the card. That's it.... ur cam should work fine now! Let me know if it was successful!
Stuck on PC Mode
Hi-
Press the power button/switch for 5 seconds, if nothing happens remove the battery. Try powering it back on after a few minutes.
Hope this helps
Soney cybersthot dsc-s30 charging issue
I replaced the battery. The new one keeps a charge and lets the ac adapter charge the battery. I plan on purchasing a new battery and recycling the old one.
