Yes, I have the same problem. The error msg continuely blinks and the camera will not automatically focus or take pictures. Have you made any progress on this error or did you have to send it in?

I have a DSC-W5 and I had the same problem and error message (E:61:00). I fixed it by turning it on, whacking it on the palm of my hand a few times (different sides of the camera), then turned it back off. When I turned it back on again, it worked just fine! Hope that helps out!

I just got the same camera, a display model, from the Circuit City closeout sale near my home. This code appeared after about a week. I tried tapping it as described above, and it worked. Thanks.

So...I came to this site and was really upset when I seen the only solution to the E:61:00 problem. But tried it anyways and sure enough...works fine now. Thanks! Saved me from telling my husband that I broke my camera!!

I didnt believe everyone at first when they said just hit the camera because i would rather pay money and get my camera fixed by a professional, but I got so frustrated that i finally took the others advice and gave it a hard wack on my hand..and now my camera works perfectly fine!! i had to hit it again to adjust the focus...no need to pay for a service tech..Thanks everyone for your help!!!

How funny!! Yes have had the same error message and thought I'd give it a go and yes whacked it hard on my hand, tried small whacks at first and didn't work, but a hard whack worked (and a slightly stinging hand)... Thanks... Glad to see that the cameras are made really well now a days, where you can fix them yourself.....

The wack on the back (not too hard) did the trick for me too. Thanks for the advice Chris. Out of interest - has anyone noticed the problem re-occuring? I'm about to go on holiday and I'd hate the camera to die on me.

Another convert to the whack method. It worked for me also. I had noticed on other boards that some had correlated this to using the camera on a beach where sand was plentiful. My probelm occurred immeiately after a trip to the beach.

Sometimes my wife goes slightly out of focus and starts blabbering something about errors so a whack normally fixes the problem. Thanks for the advice.
