Dimage E323 "system error"

Camera was working fine. I turned it on, the view finder moved out, but the red light kept flashing....the view finder motor stopped, after a few seconds it groaned for a couple seconds, stopped, then groaned. After a few more seconds, the display showed "SYSTEM ERROR". It's not the batteries, as I had just inserted newly charged (new) batteries. HELP!!!! I love my little camera (although I wouldn't mind more zoom), so I hope it's not toast. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me. Pat

Same deal: new batteries, just stopped working,"SYSTEM ERROR".

Will only turn on when in menu mode, red light flashes and will not power off. Had to take out batteries to turn it off.

Thanks Liftboy for # 3. Have tried that and made motor work to its limits again. However, when re-assembled lens came out, jammed again and still shows "system error". What do you suggest next ?

Remove 6 phillipscews open camera.There is a little drivemotor for the lens,next to it is a shaft activating the limit switch for lens opening and closing.Carefully spray plastic safe electronic cleaner into the opening.Now apply 3 volt to the motor reversing polarity a few times to activate the limits. Now use canned air to blow out any residue of the cleaner.This worked for me,camera working again.

What size of Memory Card you are using? As far as I know E323 supports only upto 512 MB SD Card. If you are using higher capacity than that, this may be the problem. Try with a low capacity card.

Formatting it in the camera is the only way to get it to work. Try it again and be sure the slide switch on the side of the card is in the unlocked position.

New memory card will not work but my olds ones do.

Instead of clicking yes at the first prompt, go into the menu and find "format" and follow the instructions from there.

DiMage Z6 turns off when trying to view pictures

I posted this on another section:

My Z6 worked flawlessly for over a year, then suddenly started shutting off for no reason. Tried new batteries, etc. The problem turned out to be the memory card. My advice, buy a GOOD card instead of a new camera! Keep in mind, flash cards DO have a "life" to them - meaning they can only be used / erased so many times before they will cause errors (so don't buy a used card off of ebay - no matter HOW good the deal seems). If your shutdown problem started with a "unable to read card" warning, then its the card. The camera is actually "protecting" itself by shutting down. Good luck!

The battery cover is a different issue. But the wavy lines in your photos sounds like a defective Sony CCD issue. If so, Sony will fix your Minolta camera for free (with free shipping) regardless of warranty. See this link:
