Hello,
I've been using a DSC-T7 very happily for the last year, but it suddenly started getting a massive amount of chromatic aberration. Has anyone else experienced this? The colours seem to seperate most of the time now. Especially (but not exclusively) when I use the flash.
I have not knocked it as far as I know (is it possible to misalign the sensors?)... or could it be humidity? Is there anyway to fix this?
Many thanks,
Sasson
Thanks, unfortunately I bought this in Thailand, which made it cheaper, but does not have a world wide warranty! Doh! I will take it into a repair shop and see how much it would cost me.
I have been very happy with this camera (up to the fault), true the flash is a little weak, but it has given excellent results apart from that and the size is fantastic. I us this as a second camera to my DSLR, so I'm not too worried about the arty night shots with this. :o)

Unfortunately the warranty specifically says Thailand only. I'll try and take it into a sony shop and see if they ask for it.
If not I guess I'll have to buy another camera (the Olympus Stylus 720 SW has caught my eye just now!)

Yes....green-white halos around objects subjacent to light-intense areas (no flash) or shiney surfaces (flash).

Same problem here, and ran out of warranty.
Probably not worth the money to fix it.
Thanks all the same

I seem to have the same problem, I see Jesus-like angels in every third picture: green halo and sides with a yellowish hue. I took pictures while skating the lake near my house in Holland. When I showewd them I was taken to a priest. Beautiful, weird, though unwanted colour-effects. Is it old age? (mine is under 33yrs, LOL). It seems not to be connected to flash. Anyone experienced a solution from Sony and to what cost?I seem to have the same problem, I see Jesus-like angels in every third picture: green halo and sides with a yellowish hue.

Re:
Not everyone is happy with this camera, though most are.
It could be that your camera has developed a fault with the sensor, and I would suggest that you hurry and use the warranty if it's not over yet.
One thing that users of this camera agree on, is that the flash is poor. It's range is very limitied, and the camera just isn't built for indoor/night shooting. If you have the subject within the flash range, which I would guess should be around 2 meters, then it should be ok, otherwise it's not known to give good results.
If it gives poor results in full daylight, and the settings are default, then I would guess your camera developed a sensor problem.
Good luck
Expect a substancial fee. Does it matter you bought it in Thailand? I would think that Sony is Sony, is Sony, and they should cover it regardless of where you bought it.Expect a substancial fee.

Fungus in a lens is the end of the lens. It is living and eating the coating. The coating is essential for the characteristics of the lens. Without it, the lans will have more chromatic aberration, flairs and will not be as sharp. Although I have seen advice to remove it with acetone, please keep it dry (silica) and start saving for a replacement.
Is the lens clean? only clean with a lens pen or a very soft cloth. (one you would use to clean glasses) Purple also could mean lots of chromatic aberration that only can occur when the lens is not correct in place. Did anything happen with the camera? like falling or bending in a pocket?
Hi, To reset camera follow below procedure: Press MENU, select SETUP, select SETUP1 and select INITIALIZE and press OK to reset DSC-T7 camera. Hope this info will help you. Thanks.
It appears that you have already tried what I'd have suggested as a last resort. Apart from cleaning the contacts and removing the battery for 15 minutes there is not much that can be done.
In my opinion it is better to purchase new camera than to spend so much on this one. Note that sony may also charge you a checking fee if you decide to send the camera in hope for less costly repair than they estimated.
And yes, it would be fruitless to dismantle the camera if you are not qualified for this stuff. There are no user serviceable parts inside and also there are timed mechanical switches which can be difficult to reassemble without a proper schematic.
PS. Please do not use Vodka for cleaning electronic components as it contains small amount of moisture. Use Isopropyl alcohol.
Hi,
Focus motor in lens assembly of camera is jammed and needs to replaced, you can get complete lens assembly from Sony if you wish to repair it at your own. Error code 61-10 shows focus problem in lens mechanism.
No. It is likely that there is still water in it. It's very important that you take the battery out and do not try to use it. Take it to a repair shop and be SURE to tell them it had water in it so they can take the appropriate steps to clean and protect it.
This is a component failure If the camera is less than a year old return it to the seller. If older than a year but a current model contact Sony who may replace it free of charge. There have been recall on some models because of component malfunction
Try this test:
Mount the camera on a tripod or set it on a secure base and use the self timer to trip the shutter. Doing this will totally eliminate any possibility of camera shake causing blurriness.
If the picture is still blurred then there might be a problem with the AF but if it isn't blurred then the problem is either camera shake OR subject movement (or both).
