Focus on DSC-W5 doesn't work

hey arpi! thank you for your comment. as it happens, i manged to fix my lens using another innovative solution posted on a different help-site. its called the 'two-whacks' technique... as the name suggests, i slapped the camera twice and hey presto.. the focus was fixed! this is obviosly a bizzare way to make a digital camera work but i suppose, this problem had something to do with the motor mechanism of the zoom lens. the impact of the whacks made whatever part was jammed freer. upon further reading i discovered that this technique has a high success rate for other sony products, including handycams.. especially for the error E:61:10 (a lens related error, which is seemingly common to sony cameras across the board). so, for the moment my camera works again... let's hope it lasts. else, sony repair centre it is :) hey arpi! thank you for your comment. as it happens, i manged to fix my lens using another innovative solution posted on a different help-site. its called the 'two-whacks' technique... as the name suggests, i slapped the camera twice and hey presto.. the focus was fixed! this is obviosly a bizzare way to make a digital camera work but i suppose, this problem had something to do with the motor mechanism of the zoom lens. the impact of the whacks made whatever part was jammed freer. upon further reading i discovered that this technique has a high success rate for other sony products, including handycams.. especially for the error E:61:10 (a lens related error, which is seemingly common to sony cameras across the board). so, for the moment my camera works again... let's hope it lasts. else, sony repair centre it is :)
