Hello, I am new to this, but could any one tell me what is wrong with my camera? The camera is a SONY Cybershot MPEGMOVIE VX Smart Zoom DSC-P52 3.2 Mega Pixels, Latley when I turn on the camera and try to take a picture, it makes a real loud noise, like the lens won't open, and then shuts off, but when i click to view items, it stays on , can any one help Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does the camera give you an error message?
no the light just lights up for a few seconds and then just shuts down, the lens don't open, I know the batteries are brand new, I don't know what is wrong, Thanks so much any help would be great.
There is most likely a malfunction in the camera's lens assembly. This is a mechanical problem that will need to be diagnosed and repaired by a Sony service center. I would recommend against turning on the camera again until the problem has been fixed by the repair center.
Wow, thanks so much, can you tell me how much you think this would cost,
That question would probably be better answered by the service center upon diagnosis of the problem. Be sure to get an estimate before you agree to have it repaired. You don't want a $400 repair bill on a $200 camera.
i have a new digimax 530 digital camera
it works well with ordinary alkaline batteries but they drain out very quickly
however when iuse rechargable batteries of 2400mh the zoom does not work and goes back only half way when i switch it off rechargeable batteries are of 1.2 v each
any help
