On the Sony DSC-H7 camera can you disable the auto power off? If not does the use of an external power supply disable it? Thanks

Hi there remove the memory card and reset the camera. After that try to take picture & let me know the result please.

Use a card reader to download your pictures to a folder you create on your desktop.

put the card in a reader to see if the computer has a glitch

Hi,
You can download the required manual from Sony website here:

How to replace LCD in DSC-H7 procedure is available in its Service Manual and LCD replacement requires expertise. You need to buy service manual copy for details.

Check your settings, if you are in the North America it should be NTSC if Europe PAL.

Things to check before you assume it is a mechanical issue-you can get vibration message if flash is disabled, be sure also that the macro mode is not enabled-this is very common on sony cameras to turn on by accident-flower button on camera will put in close up mode and you will get blur make sure no flower is present on lcd screen-if in macro press button on camera w/flower to turn off-also in menu you have continuous and monitor auto focus settings try changing one or the other and see what happens

I had the same problem with my DSC-H9. The flash setting is set off when in BURST record mode. Go into MENU, scroll down to REC Mode, change it back to NORMAL.

Now go shoot someone or something... with your camera of course!!

i think you're wrong i don't think that sony dsc h-7 can play mp3 becouse i have one of those
