The motor that controls the focus of the lense may be bad. Here is a link to the manual, and you many need to have the camera serviced at a local shop or by Vivatar.

Flash phtography....need advice

Some cameras have a problem focusing in lower light settings. If they don't have enough light to focus, the pictures will come out blurry almost every time. You can try a few things. Some cameras have a 1/2 way setting on the shutter button, that forces the camera to try to focus, and then a green indicator will come on the screen when it's ready to shoot. Another option is to set the camera to manual focus (if there are options for it). Another fix is to add more background lighting, to allow the camera to focus easier. I've heard a lot of people complaining about the same problem- it's pretty common with today's digital cameras.

Fuzzzy display

If it is not a setting problems, and if the black and white is only on LCD and not on picture, then it is a problem with the LCD. Probably just the ribbon cable not well inserted into the connector.
Camera must be taken apart to fix this problem. Better to have the job done by a technician at a camera repair shop.

Picture focus problems

make sure there is no flower icon on bottom left corner of screen-very common on sony to hit macro button to turn on by accident and you will get blur-only for extreme closeup-hit flower button to turn off if on and let me know if that was the problem
