Sony cybershot dsc-w330 functions buttons does not work

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


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.

To reset your camera, remove the battery for 15 mins, replace the battery then go to the camera's MENU to set the Date & Time.

Please reset the camera or make the exposure mode in +/- 0. then try and let me know the result.

I'm glad to provide the information about the Camera. The Camera does not have a RESET button to press manually to reset it.

If you wish to reset the Camera, you can use the Initialize option from the Menu item to perform it if the Camera is allowing it.

Please perform a power resetting if the Camera is not turning ON or you're unable to access the Menu items. Please follow the below steps to perform a power resetting

• Remove the battery from Camera.
• Press and hold the Power button for more than 15 seconds.
• Reinsert the battery
• Turn ON the Camera.

Thanks for understanding. Please let me know if you require further assistance.

Hello.

Remove the SD card then replace it back. If you are still having a problem, format the SD card using the camera. If that still doesn't solve the problem, you need to replace the SD card with a new one.

1. Ensure the camera is turned on.
2. If applicable, ensure the lens cover has been removed before taking pictures.
3. Ensure the LCD backlight is turned on by pressing the DISPLAY button several times until the screen appears. NOTE: Depending on the camera model, the DISPLAY button may be labeled as DISP or with a display icon [FIG. 1]. This button could be a standalone button or incorporated as one of the control arrow buttons depending on the model of camera.
   
4. If operating the camera with a battery, ensure the battery is fully charged.
5. Ensure the battery is inserted properly in the camera.
6. If operating the camera with the power adapter, ensure it is plugged into a working AC outlet.
7. Ensure no Audio/Video (A/V) cables are connected for viewing pictures on a TV; the LCD screen will not display when an A/V cable is connected.
8. Perform a reset procedure on the camera.

The troubleshooting steps listed above should resolve your issue. If you have completed all of the steps and the issue is not resolved, service may be required.

Try to reset the camera to original settings:
How to reset a Cyber-shot® digital still camera back to original factory settings. Solution
Cyber-shot cameras nowadays have a built-in rechargeable battery for retaining time, date, and other settings. Since the built-in rechargeable battery is not removable, current Cyber-shot camera models can only be returned to the original factory settings by pressing a small RESET button on the camera or by using an Initialize option in the menu.
Older-model Cyber-shot cameras (prior to the year 2000) do not have a built-in rechargeable battery and do not have a RESET button or Initialize option in the menu. These cameras require a manual power reset.
IMPORTANT: To determine whether or not your camera has a RESET button or Initialize option, or for other model-specific information to complete any of the steps in this solution, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the product. Manuals are available online in the Manuals/Specs/Warranty section of the Sony® eSupport Web site.
Follow the appropriate procedure below for your camera.
Using an Initialize option in the menu
Since Cyber-shot cameras have different menu system layouts, refer to the instruction manual specific for your camera model.
Using a RESET button

1. Locate the RESET button on the camera.
2. Use a pointed object (like a ballpoint pen) to press and hold the RESET button for 2-3 seconds.
3. After 2-3 seconds has elapsed, release the RESET button.

Performing a manual power reset

1. Turn off the camera.
2. Remove the battery pack.
3. Remove the button-sized lithium battery.
4. Allow the camera to remain without power for 30 seconds.
5. Reinsert the button-sized lithium battery.
6. Reinsert the battery pack.
7. Turn on the camera.

Hi Jim,
Have you tried resetting all settings on the camera? On a Sony camera, it is called "initialize". The initialize setting is found by going to the menu, and tabbing down until you find an option called either "reset settings" or "initialize settings" and then confirm it.
Many times that will fix the issue, in case something has either been enabled/disabled on accident, or the software is sticking (which happens from time to time)

take the battery out and let the camera sit for an hour or two, take out the memory card, try to view photos on computer, if it does not work, you will have to format the card and start over. Some times when the format on the card is bad, the camera will not work properly. I have two cybershots myself.

• Set Mode Dial to Play and power up the camera.
• Press < / > on control button to select desired picture to delete.
• Press Menu button and press < / > to select Delete option and press Center of control button.
• Confirm OK by pressing ^ button and picture will be deleted.

You can download user manual of DSC-P71 from Sony Support. It has better details on how to delete file.
