My friend accidentally dropped my Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX5 on the hard ground. My camera still works and I do not have any error messages or physical damage on the outside. However, now my photos almost look like they are in fish-eye mode but with only the left side being black. I know that the screen isn't broken because my pictures from before the drop are fine. I think the problem is my lens, although I cannot see anything when looking at it. Any ideas?

it is easy take out digital memories and batteries and let it stand 24 hours away from heat humidity and static sources the most safe place is a glass bottle with dry rice then replace memories and recharged batteries and that will solve the problem

Press MENU. Select the wrench-and-hammer icon. Select the second item on the menu.

sorry to say this friend....u have inserted an incompatible battery in your camera
that is why the message "for use with compatible battery only" keep showing up whenever u switch on your camera

so u got to replace your currently installed battery to the compatible battery of your model

so i have searched the web for your model's compatible battery list...just check with it in the below link

even check with your sony cyber-shot model's manual for compatible battery info

Hi,

Your zoomunit is defective. Rotronica has replacements for this camera.
Or contact your Sony repaircenter.

Try to right click on the image files while they are read on the memory card or on the camera hard-wired to your computer. Click on copy then click on your desktop of your computer to paste them. They may just be creating short-cuts rather than placing the file onto your computer.

Sounds fatal to me.

Reset the camera. It will go to default settings.

Hey daisy16,
If this problem only started happening after you dropped your camera there is likely physical damage to the lens, and you need to have it looked at by an authorized service technician. When this camera has a hardware problem it will tell the user to turn it off and back on, but since the physical problem is not actually resolved by doing this you gets the message again.

Sincerely,
Allan
Go Ahead. Use Us.

Try re-charging your battery or you may check your memory stick. If the cause of this problem is by an accidental drop of the device, then may be you suspected right on the lens. It may cause dis a line of gears... ^_^
