20 Most Recent Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W70 Digital Camera Questions & Answers

These errors, although apparently unrelated, indicate imminent failure for the camera. Repair will be expensive - time to look for a replacement, I'm afraid.

It depends on features and price of camera, if you need for home / general use then Sony camera is best and if required for professional purpose, Canon is good.

Unlike most brands/ models of cameras, the Sony CyberShot (DSC) cameras feature internal memories, (not enough to hold sufficient data). If you took a few shots before inserting the memory card, the pictures are stored in the internal memory. You can transfer/ delete those pictures by the following steps. 1. switch off the camera, 2 open the battery/ SD card slot cover and remove the SD card. 3. close the cover and switch on 4. press the display/ preview button and your picture should be visible on the screen. You can now do whatever you want with your picture. Does this help? Please provide some feed-back if my answers do help.

You need to install a piece of software called WinUndelete from here: http://www.winundelete.com/undelete_photo.asp
The full instructions on how to use the software is on that page.
Hope this helps!

Select Macro option ON and try.

What about the screen and charger?

I have the same problem, but when I remove the MS Pro Duo card (1GB) from the camera it works fine again. The memory card works fine in a pc memory card reader. Is there a problem with the Sony camera built-in card reader?

I have meet a lot of people asking similar question. The answer is absolutely Yes. You can always recover the lost photos from your digital camera even you have formatted the device. Formatting won't make the data in your memory card erased permanently. The pictures you formatted are still in the disk of your memory card, just not accessible right now. The best way to recover them back is trying some photo recovery programs. A nice one is Asoftech Photo Recovery that helped me before. http://www.asoftech.com/apr/This program can deep scan to find your lost photos first and then perform recovery with nice quality. But before your photos are recovered, please don't take more photos in case your lost photo data are overwritten.

Turn the mode dial to the camera icon.If you need a user guide or other documentation, you may download them from here.

check the batt. or apply WD40 with cotton bug on batt.spring

I have the exact same problem. When I was in NY last fall, suddenly my camera would only take blurry pictures. I hadn't changed any settings or anything. I can get halfway decent pictures in Auto mode, but any of the other settings only take blurry pictures. Apparently a lot of people have this problem, but no one knows how to solve it...

Hi, I just fixed my daughters camera w/same problem.....I read on another site that you squarely hit it on table while holding in hand....I didn't have to slam it just one slightly firm hit and it works fine now...been broken for weeks and tried resetting and pulling battery to no avail...the hit works! viewing screen side is the side I hit on table, only had to do once, and not that hard.(camera was less than 2yr old dsc-70) good luck!
