Strange behaviour - Sony p200
In article
, " wrote: Hi - I've got a Sony P200 - nice wee camera, about 2 years old. Tonight I turned it on and the lens popped out the way it always does, then went through an attempt to retract again, then stopped with the lens still in the 'out' position. Then there was a message on screen saying 'turn the power off and on again'. I have tried this and I can hear the wee motor whirring, the lens wiggles in and out without fully retracting and then everything stops with the lens still out. I can't take any pictures, but I can review those already in the camera. The camera hasn't been dropped or banged, so its a bit of a mystery. Has this happened to anyone else with this model and, more important, what did you do to fix it? Any advice gratefully received. Thanks in advance. Sounds like the dreaded dust or grit. These cameras, where the lens extends when switched on tend to have (and need) very fine tolerances to keep the lens fully inline with the sensor. Try asking Sony about it first - they may actually do it for you (and possibly for a very small charge) and it may be cheaper than trying to find a place who will repair/check it for you. |
