Top 20 Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T33 Digital Camera Questions & Answers

Sony only will sell repair manuals to repair centres, they (Sony) have certified. S I don't think it will be possible to get one on the net. I wish you luck with the search. Only open electronic equipment after you have the manual, after you have the right tools and spare parts an when you have the right skills. If one of the former fails, it is possible you end with pieces of equipment that never will look or work like a camera. Just saying.

You can download the manual and more here. They will tell you how to use your camera.Your local library should have some books on introductory photography. These books will explain the basic concepts, telling you why you might want to use some of the features of your camera.

Check Sony's website to see if there is a recall on that model for that issue.

hiif the key that you use for taking picture does not work in other parts need to change

Hello, unfortunately cameras does not store the timezone in EXIF information...

maybe you should just state it (that you forgot to change the timezone) and they will make the proper calculation to adjust the right time..

Sorry to say that Sony stopped repairing the faulty CCD's that were installed in their cameras for free two years ago. No matter what they told you, they DO know about it, as it is a well known issue (Sony actually produced the faulty CCD's that were installed not only in their cameras, but also in many of their competitors). And I do concur with your displeasure, as I similarly have a now useless Sony camera with the same CCD issue (cost a pretty penny too). And as you've noted Canon continues to repair their cameras with this issue, although they have started phasing out this repair for some of the older models. All I can say is, remember this the next time you're in the market for purchasing a camera. Definitely let it influence your decision. It did me (Canon, there is no substitute! ;-)

Try a reset, take the battery out hold the power button down for 30 sec. then reinstall the battery. If that does not correct the problem the CCD chip has probably gone bad. Sony does not service the T-33 any longer. You will need to find another source to work on it. That is what I am in the processes of doing right now.

This is due to failure of ccd imager chip in your camera, replace ccd imager chip to get live view in lcd to take fresh pictures.
Let me know if you need ccd imager chip part number.

How is the live view? Is that ok? If there is no lines in the live view, the problem is in the memory card. It maybe damaged. If this cam has internal memory, try taking shots in it so that we can confirm.

Power problem usually caused by the batteries. Charge your batteries until full and try to turn on your camera. If the problem persist, buy a new replacement batteries and put them in right position.

Hope this help and RATE please.

The iris may be shut closed or the CCD is bad. If the iris is shut closed, it's probably due to moisture preventing it from opening - keep it in a dry environment for a few days to let it dry. However, if the CCD is bad, then you'll need to take it to a repair shop and have the CCD replaced.

This is problem of bad ccd imager chip in DSC-T33 that generates greenish distorted image in camera.
Replace ccd imager chip in camera to solve this issue.
If you are handy with electronics stuff repair and can take apart this camera easily with proper tools then let me know to provide you ccd imager chip part number.
Thanks.

I just replied your previous question that this problem occurs due to ccd imager chip failure that will be replaced to get live view in camera mode to take fresh pictures.
Local camera repair shop will replace it, let me know if you need part number of ccd imager chip of DSC-T33 camera.

try reseting it

You can set the ISO to a higher number and you could also set the "exposure compensation" to a higher number for brighter pictures.

Hello

The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.

Use these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.

Firstly , try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.

Try holding the shutter button while switching on the camera.

Look at the lens , and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).

Try gently pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.

Another way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the camera is enough to get things going again.

Try hitting your camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of your hand.

Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair center for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to replace the camera.

If it is still under warranty I would suggest you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.

Hope the advise is useful. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you need any further assistance.

Regards
Andrea
