Question about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50 Digital Camera

Issues with sony dsc-w50 camera

When I select 'right' or 'down' on the macro button the camera powers off. I am also getting 'access' when i turn the camera on. Is this a loose connection? The power on the battery also runs flat now even when the camera is shut off? Does anyone have any ideas on what i can do?

It wont turn on. Fresh batteries, power button doesn't work, although right arrow key turns it on if you hold it down, but only to access menu, still will not take pic and turns off as soon as you release...

Hi,
The power switch seems to be defective or loose if you can see the display then loose connection seems to be the main culprit .

I can"t turn on macro. When I push the button, I see on the display that macro is invalid.

I have a Sony W120 and had the same macro problem, tried all the "solutions" mentioned here without result. So I pressed the "Home" button, went to "Settings" (last menu item at right), then "Main Settings", and used the "Initialize" functio. Problem solved !

Problem with nikon coolpix 8700

Same problem that would not allow me to take a picture without pressing the LOCK button on my Nikon 8700. Here is how I believe I fixed the problem:

Turn the camera ON.

Press MENU button on your camera to bring up the menu.

Scroll down to SET-UP, open the SET-UP menu by scrolling right.

In the SET-UP menu, scroll all the way down to FUNC (Controls) on page 2/3 , open the FUNC (Controls) menu by scrolling right.

You are now presented with 2 options:FUNC and AE-L, AF-L)

Select the FUNC option by right scrolling.

Choose the 2nd option: i.e the mountain, flower and timer icon (distance, macro and self-timer icon) by right scrolling.

Press the MENU button to get out of the menu.

Attempt to take a picture without pressing LOCK.

Should work! Anyways, it worked for me.

Cheers.

Super macro

Press the macro button once to get it to display the Macro Mode sign. Press and hold it after that to get it into Super Macro

Once you are in Super Macro, you can't move the lens so you MUST use the Manual Focus (MF) button that is located right above the Macro toggle button. While holding the MF button, use the 4 way directional pad to focus in and out. Press the Up and Down to focus.
You have to be REALLY close for Super mode.. less than about 6 inches

The MACRO MODE is easily accessed via the arrow pad on the back of the camera. Press the left arrow key, which has a flower icon, to start the MACRO MODE. Press the down arrow key to select the flower icon in the menu. Then press the OK/MENU button; camera is now set for close-up photography. Remember to turn off the MACRO MODE when you begin shooting subjects beyond the focus range of the MACRO MODE.

Macro mode

The Macro Mode is easily accessed by pressing the second oval shaped button to the left of the arrow pad on the back of the camera. This button is designated by a green colored box with a curved doubled headed arrow – which will rotate the image file when in view mode. The same button also has a flower icon, which represents MACRO MODE when in Shooting mode. Pressing thios button in Shooting Mode displays a menu where you select three options: OFF, Close-Up or Super Close-Up photography.

Settings affected

The functions accessed from the arrow pad—Self-Timer (arrow left key), Exposure Compensation for adjusting brightness (up arrow key), Macro and Super Macro Modes for close-up photos (right arrow key)—will all be reset using the RESET arrow pad button. Also, the quality/resolution will be set back to the default of HQ. Settings such as language, date and time, and sleep time settings are not changed by using the reset button. These settings need to be manually selected through the menus in order to reset or change them.
