20 Most Recent Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 Questions & Answers

Having gone over a month without a response to my query, I assume my suggestion to use a card reader eliminated the problem.

The threads cannot be replaced by the end user. Because the cameras are mounted at all sort of angles and can have very heavy loads placed on the tripod mount, they are usually built in under the body shell, or actually into the body shell. In order to repair this, send it to the manufacturer and they will provide you with a quote. An alternative option would be to take it to a local camera store, however it may be difficult to find one that can repair a Sony DSLR.

Has it been serviced before? I remember one A200 with a very similar problem. There was a flex cable broken inside - the owner had given it to another technician before me and he managed to brake it. I think it could be a bad connection or some liquid damage. I have worked in a Sony service center and I don't think this is some kind of a factory problem. Anyways, you will have to give it to a camera technician. The camera has to be taken apart to see what's what.

Is the lens switched to manual as well as the mode dial. If the compatable lens is a minolta requiring an M42 adapter make sure that the protruding arm/rod is operating the shutter when depressed and that the adapter when fitted operates the lens when turned from auto to manual. Good luck.

Question edited for clarity and add CAPS. You will need to take it to a Sony Service Centre. You may need a drive motor and only they can provide it. It is a good camera and worth repairing. https://www.google.com/search?q=sony+mavica+service+center ..

The Sony DCR-PC100 is a camcorder model that was released before touch screen interfaces and language settings became more common on consumer electronics. As such, it's possible that this specific model might not have a built-in option to change the language from Japanese to English, especially if it was originally sold for the Japanese market. However, there are a few general steps you can try that might help:

1. System Menu: Check the camcorder's settings menu for any language-related options. Look for a "System" or "Language" menu where you might be able to change the language settings. Keep in mind that the menu options might still be displayed in Japanese, so you might need to rely on symbols or context.
2. Reset to Defaults: Some devices have a "Reset to Defaults" option that might reset all settings, including language, to the factory defaults. This might be worth trying if you're unable to find the language settings.
3. Contact Sony Support: If you're unable to find a solution through the manual or online resources, it's best to contact Sony customer support for your region. They might be able to provide specific guidance or let you know if changing the language is even possible on the DCR-PC100.
4. Third-Party Resources: Search for user forums or online communities where other users might have faced a similar issue and found a solution. Sometimes, enthusiasts or experts in those communities can provide helpful insights.
5. Professional Assistance: If all else fails, consider reaching out to a professional technician or service center that specializes in Sony camcorders. They might have experience with older models and could potentially assist you.

This video shows they have a problem with latches. There isn't much on it, so a Sony Camera Repair Centre is probably the best solution. https://www.google.com/search?q=Sony+DSC+S700+camera.+can%27t+open+battery+compartment ..

You could try doing a factory reset, it should not ship in demo mode. Follow the picture below.

If you have already cleaned the lens gears and the issue persists, it is possible that the lens electric motor is not working properly. You can try resetting the camera to see if it helps. Here are the steps to reset the Sony DSC-S40:

1. Turn off the camera and remove the batteries.
2. Wait for a few minutes before reinserting the batteries.
3. Turn on the camera and see if it works.

If the camera still does not work, it may be a hardware issue and you may need to take it to a professional repair service or contact Sony support for further assistance.

I have the same issue. I tried unlocking it. It doesn't go in, and I'm using the same SD card I had inserted before. There's nothing broken inside the slot. I need help...
