Sony claims that the E:61:00 error means "Difficult to adjust focus Inspect the lens block focus reset sensor". In my experience this means that the gears that extend and retract the lens are somehow jammed. This could easily happen if you hit something with the camera with your lens in extended (working) position.
You should try to:
- power off the camera
- place your thumb on the back of the camera and the fingers a few centimeters from the closed lens
- power on the camera, and with your fingers stop the movement of the lens forcing not to fully extend
- when the lens retracts or stops and then continues to extend, let it go
sometimes this would resolve the issue.

wich has similar trick for a different model from sony, but the error is the same.
Be careful not to force the lens too hard or you may worsen the issue.
Let me know if this helped, good luck
