Try resetting your camera to factory defaults:
SOURCE: Sony Cyber-shot Error Code E:61:00
Hi,
you may have these symptoms,
Symptoms :
To fix this problem,
Do these...
A) Put the camera about a half inch from a hard surface.
B) Let the lense go out and hit the surface and retract a little bit.
Let it go out all the way when it tries the next time.
If that doesnt fix it, try this:
A) Turn it on and let the lense go out fully
B) See where the lens comes out of the camera? The little round crack
that surrounds it? Wiggle the lense a bit and blow in there a bit. (Be
sure not to blow on the lense!)
Now turn it off/on again, and it should be fixed!
If not, try these steps a few more times. If still nothing, then I
suggest you to call Sony, but this DID work for 90%, so hopefully it''ll
work for you :)
Thanx for using fixya,
Cheers.

I found this on another website. After trying the bang and blow method....I found that it really does work!!!! I thought I was going to have to buy a new camera. I am SO thankful to have found this. I hope they don't mind me reposting it on this site.

We had the same problem, and we fixed it! First, identify that it''s the AF motor drive by A) Turning it on and putting your ears against the camera, then hearing a humming noise for about 5 seconds. B) The error comes up flashing on the screen: "E:61:00". Okay, so you''ve identified your problem! Next you wanna fix it, right? ;) A) Put the camera about a half inch from a hard surface.

Mine was an E61:10....I think. I read on a thread that it was a lens barrel issue that could be fixed with a smack, so I closed the lens cover, turned the camera on and gave it a whack with the bottom of my wife's vintage wine glass....I picked the camera off the carpet and turned it on to find that the error message was no longer active and the wine glass was still in one piece. I rule!
