  The smacking method also works for the dreaded C13:01 message (Memory Stick Access - camera won't access the memory stick media). You can find 13 pages of entries about that problem on this forum. I have the F707 and was going to use it to photograph a wedding Saturday. The only remedy in the manual is to remove and reinsert the MS several times. That didn't work. Neither did any of the other "scientific" solutions people had recommended. When I got to the wedding I smacked it lightly on the edge of a table a couple of times. Back in business!!! Sony should include the smacking remedy in their manuals.

    Oh man! That seriously worked! At first I was just hitting it really hard against the counter and had no luck. I had brought my camera (DSC-T1) to the beach a few weeks ago and I figured maybe I got sand in it so I opened it up and sprayed canned air into it but to no avail. I didn't know what else to do so I just SLAMMED it on the side of the camera really, really hard against the counter, turned it back on and WHAM! It works just fine now! I'm so happy! Yippie!

      Thank you for helping me, too! And don't be put off if you need to whack your camera more times than you think could possibly be healthy. I gave my Sony DSC-T1 (error code E:61:10) a good long beating after reading these messages, but with no luck at all, so I gave up for a week. Then yesterday I tried again and it started working after the first couple of whacks! Perhaps more amazing is the fact that my camera appears none the worse for its ordeal. It is certainly made to withstand some pretty brutal treatment, and it's great to have it back without the huge repair bill Sony wanted to charge me. Result!

    I teach Videography in high school and tried the smacking methold after trying everything else. I can't believe it, but it worked! The error message was still on the camera though until I took off battery and smacked it again. Message is gone and camera works fine. I wonder if people smack their Toyotas they will stop accelerating at random times....

    My wife\'s dscp50 gets the e6110 warning. There is a focus problem. Is there a solution apart from giving Sony lots of money? Thanks Eric.

    Ohmigod, I bow down to the genius who came up with the Smack Solution! As an eBay seller, I make my living with my old DSC-P50, so I was horrified last night when it took a header onto the hardwood floor. (That's what I get for listing at 3 am!) When I picked it up, it was flashing the dreaded E:61 message and focus didn't work. Found this thread this morning and took your advice. Just went and gave it two smart smacks--hitting the lens barrel (cover on, camera off) into the palm of my hand. Presto! We're back in business! Thank you so much, board posters!

  well i have the same message, i couldnt believe what you guys were saying on how to fix it, hit it with the power off. well the first couple of times it didnt work, so of course the hits got a little harder each time, by the 4th time, the message was gone and it works fine. thanks for the high tech advise, the larger hammer trick!!!!!!

  Belive or not, the smacking method works !
  I have just tried on my TRV-22 and the zoom is working fine now ! I should have tried it before my daughter's birthday, which is now very badly recorded (no zoom or image adjust), but I didn't try google until now...isn't it funny ?
  Kind regards from Madrid (Spain)
  P.S. My smack wasn't very strong. Just a couple of light hits near the lens barrel.
