Sony Cybershot DSC-S500 bad photo resolution problem

My camera Sony Cybershot DSC-S500 suddently started to take bad quality pics. The resolution is bad, for example, when I take a picture, the picture is too white, if you zoom in the photo, you can see that there's horizontal lines all over the picture (a horizontal line,same color, no variations in color) and after that line there is a normal pixel line, with pixel's color variations. This is repeated from top to botom of the picture(lets say, "blank horizontal pixel line", "color pixel line with variation in color"...and so on...). This started repently, I was taking pictures with no problems at all, and suddently in that same day this started to happen! Any help is apreciated! Thanks in advance. Pedro

Electronic shutter in lens mechanism got bad and you need to replace complete lens assembly of DSC-S500 camera.
Of course new lens assembly would cost more then camera worth so best option is to buy new camera.

Downloaded driver for cybershot dsc s500, then try to interface camera with computer, pc doesnt see the camera in control panel or my computer removable hard drive.

Sony has the roughest firmware known to man for digital cameras. If running Windows XP or Vista you can simply connect the camera to the USB port and let the computer do the rest. Picbrige works the best for it downloads the quickest. Picbrige will be on your cameras list of choices to use for downloading

How do U upload photosfrom my computer to my sony cyber shot DSC-S500

I'm not sure that you can upload photos from the computer to the camera. i have never seen a camera you could do that with. The only way you might be able to do it is if you are using a sony memory card in your camera and you took the memory card out of the camera and put it in a memory card reader connected to your computer. Put the photos from your computer on to your memory card and then put the memory card back in the camera.

No sound

You will get sound when you transfer recorded movie clips in your computer and playback in computer.
DSC-S500 Sony Cybershot has built-in mic to record sound but doesn't have speaker to give sound during playback in camera. You need to import movie files in your PC and playback in PC to hear sound.

My sony cyber shot dsc-p32 camera

just change the resolution
set the camera on photo mode
then press trash button, it should display the resolutions
i recomend 1.3 megapixels for normal pictures, when you need the high resolution change it to better
also if you use the options of the photo mode you can change from fine to normal picture quality
