DSC-F707 Digital Camera Problem

hi sony f707 and f717 have very common flash fpc(flexible printed circuit) torn due to flash defuse unit up/down many time. it just need replacement. Thanks and best regard!

Hi,
There is no setting to change self timer, default time is 10 seconds. However you can reset camera to restore default settings by pressing reset button located under battery compartment, try it as it might correct self timer problem.
Thanks.

I believe this is what you need:

Let me know if it is not.

I only got one reply and it was a "spam ad" selling offers from different camera repair companies. I ended up calling a local camera repair place and basically was told that the camera is nonfixable. The cost to repair is most likely going to cost the same as buying a new 12M pixal camera. So, why fix it?

I also bought an aftermarket battery for my F707 on Ebay and got the same "for info...." message.
I contacted the seller and they sent me a new one and it worked, don't see a way around it.

Could be that the contacts on the camera are oxidised. Try cleaning the contacts with isopropyl alcohol and see if this helps. If not, it could indicate a circuitry problem. In this case, you'd probably be better off buying a new cam altogether!

Can't use Memory Stick PRO's on the DSC 707, they won't format. The technology of the PRO's postdates the 707's.

I had a similar problem and it was a result of the battery not charging correctly. I bought the travel battery charger and an additional battery from amazon to see if maybe the battery was just old or just not charging. I figured out that the internal camera charging mechanism just wasn't working b/c the battery charged fine with the travel charger. I like the travel charger better and with two batteries I can charge one while the other is in use. I haven't had a problem since. When you buy the new battery you still have to charge it before it's first use. I hope this works for you as it did for me.

This same thing happend to me awhile back. Camera seem to be dead for several weeks until one day I tried turning on and then off the night vision. The was the usual click inside the camera and all was well after that. I still use the camera.

I had this same problem and the procedure it the following : IF YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR PICTURES, DOWNLOAD "PhotoRescue" INSERT YOUR MEMORY STICK CARD IN YOUR CAMERA, RUN THE SETUP1 AND FORMAT IT. Good luck
