Maybe the camera Firmware is corrupted, re-install genuine firmware software at camera dealer.

I cannot speak to your specific model but, most cameras only have a limited amount of built in memory. To be able to have a decent amount of recording time, you will need to by add-on memory. Look in the camera's manual.

You have to "close session" on the disk before it will play anywhere else but the camera. Same goes for a CD or DVD you make on your PC. It will play on your PC ok but not on any other player

You can use a camcorder recovery software, recommended asoftech data recovery as it helped me before. use link below to download:Video recovery softwareYou may refer to this file recovery tutorial which is very usefulHow to recover files from memory card

Install the driver of the camcorder to the PC and then run the program . Now connect the camcorder and you need to go according to the interactive window display.The recorded memory can be transferrred and saved to a marked folder and copied to a DVD disc from the PC.

Error code 61:00 indicates a problem in the lans assembly. The most likely cause for this is a zoom or focus lens out of place or impaired in some way. This will require disassembling the camera to remove the lens assembly and then disassembling the lens block to repair. This can be done fairly inexpensively but it's not really a user serviceable problem and should be repaired by a qualified service technician.

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

The lens cover mechanism is assembled and only accessable from inside the camera and can be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it’s not a user serviceable problem and will need to be diagnosed by a qualified service technician.
