Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N1 Shutter seems to be stuck

Hi While I was taking pictures the camera stopped displaying any images on the screen. The Screen and all seems to be working fine but the shutter inside the lense seems to be stuck. I haven't dropped the camera or done anything to that would damage the camera. Any ideas as to how I can get the shutter to open again. Thank you

    My display stopped working on my Sony Cyber-shot. The camera is less than 1 year old. Any suggestions? I can't read the menu to fix it since I can't see the options.

Nikon d3100 taking blank images
The problem could be the imaging sensor in the lens housing, this will require a camera technician to find the extent of repair that is needed.

Camera not displaying images as seen through viewfinder. The screen is black. Image controls and info can be seen but the picture is just black. Takes photos which are also black; but previous photos...
A stuck shutter is another common failure mode for digital cameras, particularly for the SD1000. The symptoms of a stuck or "sticky" shutter are very similar to CCD image sensor failure. The camera may take black pictures (for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be very bright and overexposed, sometimes with lines, especially when taken outdoors (for shutter stuck open). To confirm a stuck shutter, put the camera in any mode other than "Auto", and turn the flash OFF (you don't want to blind yourself for the next step). Next look down the lens and take a picture. You should see a tiny flicker in the center of the lens as the shutter opens and closes. If no movement is seen, then you likely have a stuck shutter. If so, please see this link for further info and a simple fix that may help.


By the way, my wife's SD1000 also has this problem every once in a while. I easily fix it by using the following steps from the link: powering on the camera, opening and closing the battery door, and flicking the end of the lens barrel with my fingertip (or you can tap it with a pencil as discussed in the link).

Image looks fine on LCD screen before snapping pictures and then has streaks or over exposed on the final picture
your problem is lens shutter maybe broken or stuck up. If you notice once you take picture and check to the display it was fine but try to zoom to the maximum you will found out that there's a line in you image.the only way to solve your problem is bring to service center and ask for cleaning the lens shutter.

Black screen
Simply right click on the track itself and select send to/DVD-RW or CR-RW depending on the type Compact disc drive you have. Then you will see a notification, "you files to be written to CD." Simply click on it or go to your Compact disc drive on My Computer and click “write these files to CD.” Then follow the screen instructions. IT is that simple. All you need to do is press and release the display button until the screen displays. Usually Canon Powershot cameras have 3 display modes:- colour, black & white, blank. Your camera is set to blank that is why you cannot see any image/screen displays no image. Just press and release the display button until the screen displays. That should do it.

Canon A520 Everything works, except the button you take pictures with. It wont work.
I need more information about what symptoms you are experiencing. I am going to guess that your shutter is stuck closed. This would cause a blank image to show on the view screen and your captured pictures. The regular icons and text would still display normally. Is this what you are seeing? If not please explain further what is happening and I will respond again with more information. David Millier Advance Camera Repair
