Hello Bertus,What happens when you try to transfer it to your laptop using the supplied cable? You must install the software that came with your camera to your laptop in order to transfer the files. OR you can just remove the SD card from your camera and then insert it on your laptop's card reader and just copy the files to your computer.I hope this helped you.If you still can't transfer it, just reply back here with additional info.

You can download the manual and more here.

Press the MENU button. Select the toolbox icon. Select the toolbox-1 icon. Select the "A" icon.

Hello

Try removing the battery and the sd card, then insert them back properly. Turn on the camera again and update me what will happen.

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about how to find the manuals, drivers, downloads andsupport for Digital Cameras.

DigitalCamera Manuals, Drivers, Downloads, and Support How to easilydownload Pictures from Digital Camera

When I had a Sony Cybershot, during playback mode the volume was controlled with either the Up, Down or Left, Right buttons (the circle with the little pictures on it; it's been like 3 yrs since I had my Sony) & I could adjust while it was playing. Hope this helps.

Try NOT using the driver.

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 iPhoto on Mac or Windows Photo Gallery or Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ) on Windows.

The card has become corrupted. You may need to use recovery software to get the photos back. Fortunately, there's plenty of good freeware. But you may also need to purchase a portable USB memory stick card reader to use with the software if you don't have one already (they're very inexpensive on Amazon). Please see this link. If the card reader also fails to recognize the card, then payparticular attention to the corrupted card procedures contained in the same link.

FIRST OF ALL CONNECT TO YOUR PC UPDATE YOUR VIRUS DEFINATION AND SCAN THE MEMORY TO RULE OUT ANY VIRUS.AFTER BACKING UP ALL YOUR PHOTOS FORMAT THE PHONE MEMORY AND THE MEMORY CARD AS WELL. THIS WILL SOLVE THE ISSUE.

a CCD problem would explain the lines on your pictures and the lines on the LCD (since the CCD is used to feed the live image). CCD (Charge Coupled Device) is one of the two main types of image sensors used in digital cameras.

Some symptoms of a defective CCD include distorted images or abnormal colors, scratchy purple lines, blank or black pictures, and/or black videos with good sound being recorded on the camera's flash card.

When a picture is taken, the CCD is struck by light coming through the camera's lens. Each of the thousands or millions of tiny pixels that make up the CCD convert this light into electrons. The number of electrons, usually described as the pixel's accumulated charge, is measured, then converted to a digital value. This last step occurs outside the CCD, in a camera component called an analog-to-digital converter.

In order to correct this issue, the repair facility needs to replace the CCD. This is not something you may do on your own; check this article for additional details: Bad CCDs. This, isn't a good new, but hope helps to solve it.

Hope this helps to solve it (remember to rate and comment this answer).

You will only have sound when you playback through your pc or tv.This camera does not have speakers.

Select the "Color" submenu in the shooting mode menu, then select "B&W". Full details are in the "Shooting Menu" section of the Cybershot handbook (page 32 in my copy).

Take off the SD card and try to copy from other SD reader with connected at PC; if this isn't work, then you should try formatting the card. If that doesn`t help, it looks like the card is faulty.

Its possible that you lost the pics in there.

here is the manual for your camera. It is all in there for you :)
