    It is amazing! I had to hit it on the carpet 02 to 03 times and itv start working as before. Try it, it will work honestly but it is a big shame for Sony to sell garbage cameras

    Thank you but I had to throw it on a soft floor and start working properly...

There is probably no user solution, it seems that optical lens block is wrong/damaged, the only solution is to replace it.

Camera not switching on

I believe there is a lens error, usually that message appears when the lens are stuck or not working.
Turn the camera ON by pressing the "play" button (to see images only) and if the camera turns ON with no problem, then the problem lies on the lens.
you can send the camera for repair or buy a new lens set from ebay, they go for around 30 dollars, but you have to be familiarized with cameras and very careful in order to install the new lens.

hope this helps.

Error message, cant take pictures

Camera needs to be serviced. This is a common problem with sony cameras. If you have any knowledge of electronic, you could take apart and clean and lube lens. If not sony will fix for a fee, go to the sony web site, they offer a repair service. This happened to mine, it cost $95 plus shipping costs to repair. Now it works great, for how long who knows.

Sony Cyber-Shot camera problems

I read that if you bang the camera against your hand a couple of times it can fix it. I tried it and it fixed it until i turned the camera off and on again. Tell me how it works for you.

Help!

This problem is not related to plugging your camera into your computer. This is a symptom we have seen many times with various Sony cameras over several years of production. As far as we have been able to determine it is a problem with the sensor that feeds back the position of the zoom motor. I had a camera just a few days ago with this exact same issue. I swapped out the controller board and it did not change the behavior at all. I would suggest either sending the camera to a repair facility, or returning it to the manufacturer for service if you wish to get it repaired. The resolution will probably involve replacement of the set of sensors that feed-back the lens position to the control board. This issue is a problem with most Sony cameras, and as I said we have seen it several times and have not yet been able to identify the source. We forward cameras with this behavior on to Sony for service. David Millier Advance Camera Repair
