Everytime i turn on and off my A200(sony DSLR) it shakes and makes noise,, and before it focuses on something it shakes and makes alot of noise?? wahts wrong with it?

Using the timer should be fairly straightforward once you read instructions on doing it from the user manual:

It's almost certain that some part of the lens or the supporting framework are faulty. You can try troubleshooting the device with the user manual, but you will probably need to have it repaired. Try checking out the user manual to be sure:

Since it still takes photos, I don't think it is the shutter. Have you tried cleaning the contacts between the camera and the lens, and does it occur with other lenses ?
The other possibility is that you have activated the sensor cleaning option - check that in the menu.

Are you shooting in low light? Sometimes the flash will fire multiple short bursts to aid in focusing. If the camera is not in focus, then depending upon your setting it will not fire.

ISO speed is too high, low an iso as possible go to the menu, and read your owner manual very well, and fix it.
God bless you

This appears to be a brand new camera with a defective lens. Do not attempt to repair it....return it!

i had exactly the same problem today with my a200, was is like a jammed sort of sound? like a drilling sound almost :S
im so annoyed. why is this happening?

If it's in continuous auto-focus and doing it, then it is just not locking on to one thing and jumping back and forth between two objects that are very close together in distance and it is normal. It should stop in manual, single shot or single point auto-focus. Sony uses Nikon auto-focus technology and my D-300 with a 70-200mmf2.8 will do it if I turn the auto-focus tracking time(lock-on) all the way down with the auto-focus in full auto.

No, there isn't. It's the stabilizer shaking and making noises. Contact your local Sony service center.
