    I too was receiving the E:61 error message on my Sony camera. I took the advice and whacked it twice into the palm of my hand pretty hard and the error message went away. Thanks

  Yup, had the same problem - called Sony, they actually stated that it could be to do with 'not being used often'??? I dare say if I said I use it everyday they would have said I was using TOO MUCH!!
  
  Anyhow they offered a fixed price fix £114 / 3 months Warranty, so I thought I would try a cheaper option - I gave it a couple of bashes, and would you believe it - it now works!!!
  
  Suffice to say, I think I will be getting rid of it and buying something more robust!

  I had a similar problem all of a sudden....and just wacked it lightly on the table straight down on the lense area and the problem was solved...incredible!
  Thanks for the advise.
