Re: sony cybershot dsc-p31 E:61:00 ERROR

I too had this error on a DSC-P30 - having read first the $170 repare cost then the drop it or bang it solution in several forums, I opted to try the latter. I turned it off, whapped the bottom of the lense side on the heel of my palm solidly 5 times - not hard just solidly - and turned it on...no more error - works great. Made me laugh - $170 please!!

  CRAZY!!!!! I wouldn't have believed it but it really works when you slap it in your hand. Mine fell off the bookshelf and I couldn't get it to focus or sort out the E:61:00. 3 slaps and all fixed! Thanks
