Camera problem when i turn my camera on to take a picture it comes up very hazy & frizzy.also when taking a picture it snaps as if it is being taken but when i go to the camera pictures folder it is not there.pictures not being saved but videos are saved & also hazy & frizzy too.

You will need to return the camera to Sony for service, they do not sell any parts or repair information to the public. The cost is about $200.00 US

As long as the orange light is on, the camera is not ready to make a picture. The focus area, should become green, to tell you the camera is in focus. Then you can press the shutter release button complete. Check the settings of the camera, and put it in automatic. When you put it in one of the manual modes pipe P M S or A, the camera will not take a picture when there is not enough lift or something else you did not take in account.
If the camera keeps this way, unless you switched to auto, it could be there is something going on. but let me know it auto des not work.

Hi,
Your camera must be experiencing these symptoms due to a faulty CCD, and not due to other problems. If the problem is due to your dropping the camera, you might be out of luck.
If you have not dropped your camera and still facing this problem, then contact service people to replace the CCD imager in your camera .

Hope this helps .

WOW! The little guys are fast!
Mine come out blurred most of the time, unless it's outside with lots of light.

Sadly, the average digital cameras need that time delay to focus and adjust for light conditions and such.
You could press the button without waiting for this, but the camera will do its own thing, like take its time to focus and adjust and then take the picture.

The Manual setting could help a bit if you always stayed at the same distance and in the same light conditions, but you'd have to preset everything. Not enough time for that, right?

Does your camera have the feature where you can take several pictures in quick succession?
I have a Kodak Z712-IS and it is capable of doing it, but I'd have to use ESP to know when to start snapping pictures, and hopefully one comes out OK.

That is strange, maybe taking the batteries out and putting them back in could reset the camera to normal. Electronic problems are real tough.

If the pictures look normal while taking them, but become white after they have been taken and if they have horizontal stripes on them (zoom in the pictures to check it) then it's a broken shutter cable or stuck shutter blades. If they appear white before the picture has been taken, then it's a CCD problem. They are hardware problems, not software, so I'm afraid you will have to give it away for a repair. You should contact your local Canon service center. I must warn you that all these problems are considered hard to repair, so it could get expensive.

Hope this helps!

Turning the date stamp off will only work for future pictures you take...The only way to remove the date on the pictures you have already taken is to do a crop or photshop the area...

I have a similar problem with my Canon S3 IS. Dark/black LCD in Shooting mode. However, I can view my existing photos in Display mode. I was about to spend money to get a Panasonic TZ5. Somehow I bumped into a solution post for S2 IS. Here is the link:

I tried their solutions twice and it WORKS. My S3 is working fine now.

You probably changed a setting or were taking photos in low light. If you take a photo in the middle of the day, in full-automatic mode, is it still hazy? Maybe you got something on your lens?

First try to take photo in a sunlight, if the photo is still hazy then clean the lense and make sure you dont put your finter anywhere in front of the camera.

If the photo is still hazy then it could in internal camera fault.

If the photo is fine in the sun but its blurry in the dark then take photo with flash if thats ok then you just need more lighting.

Also make sure the ISO Rating is auto or 100 many people set ISO to 800 and then forget about it. It causes hazy photos in the dark
