I had the same problem, when i check from repair people, they say that the CCD needs cleaning. I havent tried it yet, But going to do it soon. Will see what happens

It is quite difficult what is faulty after you have dropped it down..It may be anything and is quite hard to check unless you have a meter and test every single components starting from where the battery is fitted..

As an extremely sensitive electronic and mechanical device it should not fall to ground as consequence it might be damaged take it to your local service for repair.

What size memory card are you using? I have had this problem trying to use a a 4gb card, which apparently is not compatible with the Z5. Using a 2gb card seems to alleviate the problem.

I really don't know how to change it. But just resetting all settings to the defaults fixed everything for me. 

The odds are you have a broken spring in the anti-shake assembly which has allowed the lens unit to shift to one side. The smudge you are seeing is the edge of the lens housing and will have a slight rounded shape. As you zoom in, you are extending the lens past this area so it no longer shows.

I don't have any first-hand information, but you'll probably be ok as long as you stay under capacities of 2GB. The original SD specification only allowed cards up to 2GB to be compliant with the standard, so I think that pretty much every camera that has an SD slot can handle 2GB capacities.

Its the switch itself that's broken. I just replaced mine, a challenging task due to its small size. Seems to be a common fault. I have these switches in stock.

I have formatted the sd card and now I can se the picthures

• Switch camera on

• Use controller to move right

Ensure you are using alkaline batteries and that battery contacts have no oxide or liquid on top of them. If you do not use alkaline batteries this is normal.
If batteries are ok is a short circuit.

Can you be more spesific? if the lcd screen is broken, you will have to send it in for repairs.

It's buggered

Format the SD card. Use the menu button to find FORMAT.

Change the internal rechargeable battery.

Minolta has been bought by Sony and they're very tight with parts for repair. Unfortunately, it'll have to be repaired by Sony. Go here for details: http://eservice.sony.com/webrma/web/index.do

The instruction manual is quite poor. Once you have decided which option you would like (2 or 10 seconds) you must go back to the main menu to select which drive mode you would like. Single is default. From single, you can select self-timer, which will activate it for your next shot. The drive mode will always reset back to single after every shot so you'll need to set this up for every self-timed shot.

Happy shooting!

make sure that were the battery goes the therminal dont have corosion green stuff if you have take q-tip clean gently the contact cheers

look for a small pinhole to reset the device, but problem may be a defective power switch-verified by disassembly of camera
