thats called "vigneting" and is caused by misalignment of the lens.... has it been dropped or mishandled? if so, it needs re calibrating and setting up by a pro camera technician.
If this also shows up on the pictures it could be a defective Sony CCD issue. If so, Sony will fix your Minolta camera for free (with free shipping) regardless of warranty. You need to do this before March 31, 2008 so get going! See this link:

Hi, I'm Jimmy go. Just would like to confirm to what extent the warranty of Dimage X20 is, because I just had my Dimge X20 repaird /replaced however, the Sony Service center in our area which is Cebu City Philippines, charged me with labor cost. Is this legal? As I understand in they had installed a defective part and that they are willing to replace it at no cost at all to the user/buyer. Is this true... please confirm

The camera does not require a new CCD. This problem is most likely due to a stuck or malfunctioning shutter mechanism in the lens. Normally the camera will open the shutter to allow you to see the image so you can compose, and then when you take the picture it will close the shutter momentarily and record what the CCD saw at that moment. If the shutter does not open in the first place - all you see is black. If this is in fact your issue the camera will need to be repaired.
