My Sony HSC H2, button I push to take the picture got stuck today then it feel off.

On my Sony DSC-H1,I just depress the shutter button HALFWAY,with the subject in the center.then recompose the shot as you'd like it(i.e.off center), and the subject will stay in focus.

The Sony DSC-H2 and DSC-H5 have a terrible shutter button design and Sony will not admit that it's a design problem. The post for the shutter button is so thin that it snaps in half very easily!!

Because of the computer set up - you will need to take it to the shop. If it is a rental or leased vehicle then the factory may have shut it down. Seen this happen.
Try this - take down the vin number and call the dealer - ask about recalls or any complications that concern the vin number you have.
This should get you pointed in the right direction.

Go to camera Menu and select Initialize, this will Reset your camera to factory default settings.

Certain camera settings can not use the flash. You need to change the camera to another setting and turn the flash on.

You need to use you fingernail and pop off the entire button assembly. When you have done this you will be looking inside your camera.

Set the new button assembly into the slots. It will not want to go on by just pushing down. The plasitc assembly is very slick so put a small piece of scotch tape the yellow stuff. I put the tape around the plastic assembly. Make sure you are only putting tape on the chrome plastic assembly. The reason for the tape is to get a good hold of the plastic asembly.

Once you have the tape on the assembly/chrome piece you need to really push down and twist clockwise. You will hear a click and then another click. Make sure you hear two clicks. I had to push and twist pretty hard to make it lock into place.

Well, If you are talking about Knob, its available with part number X-2108-325-1 (RELEASE ASSY) and if its circuit switch problem, its available with part number 1-479-699-11 (SWITCH BLOCK CONTROL) Call nearest Sony repair facility :D

There's a chance that the settings might have been changed.....Just try after resetting the camera to default factory settings.

shoot mine is doing that too, i thought i was just losing my mind

this may be a fault or simply you not quiet fully familiar with the camera - fully read the manual-including the more comprehensive on on the software disk. I suspect perhaps it is you- if you can conpose the scene in the un-focussed mode and it camera focusses as the shutter is closed thats OK- also it may be a sensitivity thing in the camera A look on the Pentax website technical help may be worthwhile.
