I know this may sound a little simple but mine, though not same model, will do the same thing if the battery is not charged. Could also be a bad battery. Use this link to Sony for any other questions. https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/compact-cameras-dscw-series/dsc-w200#faqs

You most likely need to change a setting called USB Connect under main settings 1. Page 67 of http://pdf.crse.com/manuals/3208400121.pdf Default is auto I suspect it is set to mass storage and is causing your hassle

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

If you have DISP/ DISPLAY button then press it 2 - 3 times and see the result. After that if the problem still same then take a snap & see it in PC. If the snap not taken by camera then its a CCD fault . If you able to see the photo in PC then its a LCD display problem & need servicing.

I would put the camera into a bowl of rice (sounds crazy, but it works). The rice will **** the remaining water from the camera. If you are still having problems you will probably need to replace the camera.

Your camera almost certainly has a lens error, this is such a common fault that I hope you don't mind me pasting my stock generic answer below. No point in reinventing the wheel!

Stuck lenses are probably the most common reason that compact digital cameras get thrown away, but there's a fair chance of recovering use of your camera again

The fault is commonly caused by dirt or grit blocking the mechanism, or due to it having suffered a recent fall. Another common cause is that the camera was in a pocket or bag and the power button accidentally activated and tried to open the lens against resistance. The mechanism may have simply become dislodged or there may be parts which have broken.

If your camera is still under warranty and has definitely not been subject to misuse then contact the Sony service department in your country to find out about a free repair. If the warranty has expired though a professional repair will far exceed the cost of replacing your camera. You will therefore have nothing to lose by trying to fix this yourself.

Please click here and you will be taken to an excellent article provided by the Camera Repair website. For the most part, you'll be guided on how to physically manipulate your camera to try and clear the fault. Although the article mentions Canon a few times, the advice applies equally to all cameras with lens errors and is not model-specific.

Good luck, I hope you manage to use this information to fix your camera, or at least are able to use the information to help decide whether to buy another camera. If you do decide that you have to throw your camera away then don't forget to remove the memory card as it can be used in other devices. Please take a moment to rate the free answer I have provided for you and any testimonial which you might wish to add is always welcome.

Hi bklynzrealis,
Seems that you battery needs charging, if you already did recharge the battery then the battery needs replacing if the red light blinks after charging.
I hope this help.
have a nice day,

Hi, http://www.docs.sony.com/release/DSCW200.pdf Is the instructional manual for that camera. You need to get into the menu then from there go to the bottom which would be settings, then go to the bottom of that screen which will be languages and then you should be able to set it to english.

there may be two problems. 1. Format your card before using it. 2. Switch your storage device to memory card and it will work. Hope it works..:))
