Re: Re: SONY E:61:00 ERROR

We had the same problem, and we fixed it!

First, identify that it's the AF motor drive by

A) Turning it on and putting your ears against the camera, then hearing a humming noise for about 5 seconds.

B) The error comes up flashing on the screen: "E:61:00".

Okay, so you've identified your problem!

Next you wanna fix it, right? ;)

A) Put the camera about a half inch from a hard surface.

B) Let the lense go out and hit the surface and retract a little bit. Let it go out all the way when it tries the next time.

If that doesnt fix it, try this:

A) Turn it on and let the lense go out fully

B) See where the lense comes out of the camera? The little round crack that surrounds it? Wiggle the lense a bit and blow in there a bit. (Be sure not to blow on the lense!)

Now turn it off/on again, and it should be fixed!

If not, try these steps a few more times. If still nothing, then I suggest phoning Sony, but this DID work for us, so hopefully it'll work for you :)
