Sony DSC-P73 auto power off in picture mode
Hello!
You may try using any another compatible Battery pack in the Camera to ensure if the issue is not causing due to the Battery. Actually, when the Camera is switched to the "Picture or Camera" mode then the power consumption increases spontaneously. So, if the Batter is not holding sufficient charge to cater the power need of the Camera in the Camera mode then it'll automatically turn off. However, if the issue persists with spare Battery also then you may try resetting the Camera to the original factory settings by pressing and holding the Reset button for 30 seconds. Otherwise, it's required to get the Camera to resolve the hardware issues.
the lens is out and the screen is showing "access".... i tried on and off but no use...its a sony DSC-P73 ..wht to do ..plz help
I have the same problem. It is intermittent...sometimes it works and sometimes it does what is described in this topic. I suspect some sort of intermittent connection, but I need a microscope to inspect all the bloody tape jumpers!! :-(
I have a Sony Cybershot P73 digital camera that is 3 years old. I am having the same issues as the symptoms referred by others -- intermittently it does not power on or it extends the lens and shuts down. I am very frustrated with this - as I have tried all remedies mentioned by others.
I chatted with a sony representative who quoted a price of $91 + shipping and handling. I think I am going to forget about it and get a new one.
I also had a problem with Sony Handycam, but as mentioned in fixya, they did a free repair for me --- including shipping and handling paid by Sony. I dont think Sony is giving this problem the due importance. There should be a recall on this product or at least a free repair if so many of us are having the same issue
I have been experiencing exact problem as described by solwinds. Mine is about 4 - 5 years old. I tried to load brand new rechargeable batteries it worked for about up to half an hour then died again.
Yes. The camera lens stays projected out after switching it on for picture taking but does not function from there on.,and switches off automatically in that position.
Have tried reset button ,new batteries, and another card ...all to no avail.!

I have the problem as well. I can view pictures already taken on the camera, and the display shows that the batteries are full. Yet whenever the camera opens and extends the lens, it shuts off as if it had no power, mid extension.
The camera is almost 4 years old.
