Dsc-w50 sony cybershot error codes e91:01

I have a Sony DSC-W50 Cybershot camera that won\'t take pictures or videos anymore. It powers up fine and the screen works, but when I hold down the shutter button all the way, it focuses and nothing displayed

Hi. Thanks for your question.

To get your camera back in working order you need to reset it to factory settings. Please click on the link below for a video from Sony website on how to perform reset.

Thank You for using FixYa.

A letter and number error code of E:61:xx , E:62:xx , or E:91:xx is an indication a malfunction has occurred in the camera. To try resolving any of these error codes, power reset the camera back to the original factory specifications.

I'll forward a link to a page where you can view the information about power resetting the Camera.

Hi,

Please follow the instructions given below
1. Turn OFF cam
2. Remove the battery or the power supply
3. Turn the switch to CAMERA for about 30 sec
4. Turn the switch to OFF
5. Install the battery or power supply
6. Turn the switch to MEMORY
7. Open the LCD cover and press the RESET button ( small inner button )
8. You will be prompt to adjust date/time. Do it
9. Take some pictures


Second step:
1)at setup do a initialize.
2)go to flash function to turn off the flash (must do it fast,b4 the E91:01 appear,if not you need to reset it again )
by now E91:01 will never appear.you can use it like normal,be sure not to turn on your flash again or go to night mode.if not you need to perform step 1 & 2 again.

Let me know, if need further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

I CHECKED SOME DIFFERENT SITES FOR SOLUTIONS AND FOUND ONE THAT PROBABLY MEANS MORE TO YOU THAT ME, NOT BEING FAMILIAR WITH YOUR CAMERA. IT STATED THAT TO RESET THE ERROR ONE NEEDED TO GO TO THE CLOCK SET MENU, TURN OFF THE CAMERA AND THEN REMOVE THE MEMORY CARD. THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO RESET THE ERROR CODE. I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU. WISH I HAD ALITTLE MORE TO GIVE YOU, BUT IF THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE REPLY AND I'LL SEE WHAT ELSE I CAN FIND. GOOD LUCK!

thats normal.
it just doesn't have enough power to bring the lense back in.
once you charge your battery and turn it on the lense will automatically come back in and then out for you to take a picture.

I just fixed this problem on the same model last night. the problem is more than likely your CCD on the back of the lens it is what tfers the image to the camera's memory.

Service required
