Shutter button on Sony camera

I think you need a new camera. Even when you think you could fix the shutter, there can and will be more damage to the camera. Today, a single repair could cost more hen a brand new camera with better specs then the one you would like to have repaired.

You will be able to replace the shutter button alone to resolve the issue. It is not required to replace the whole body. You can contact sony direct accessories and Parts Center to get the replacement shutter button.
If you require assistance with contact number to reach the accessories shop, you can ask me by clicking following link:

It would cost more to repair than to buy a new one - Contact Sony repair shop to get a new shutter button

If you do a search for "sony h2 shutter button replacement" on Google.com you will find a shop that sells both the shutter button and a repair service to install the shutter as well.

Hope this helps!

It’s cheaper if you can DIY. You can find the button here: http://www.partstore.com/Part/Sony/Sony/X21774611/New.aspx
And here is a similar solution: How to replace the shutter button on SONY CyberShot DSC-H5 digital camera

I bought a "for parts" dscw50 off ebay & unscrewed the side panels; this allowed me to remove the whole top panel (entire silver piece) & exhange it with the one on my own camera which I had broken the shutter button off of. Works fine now.

It is a common problem on this model. You need to replace the control assembly to fix the problem. Here is a link to show you how to replace the assembly and where to get the part.

Here is a $2 fix to this problem.
It just takes some electrical tape, a small piece of manila paper or similar and one thumbtack.

After the silver shutter button fell off, I tried a thumbtack and found that it did a good job of doing the pre-focus and capturing of the image. I then took a piece of black electrical tape about 3 inches long and in the middle, pasted on a small circle of construction paper or manila folder type of paper slightly bigger than the head of the thumbtack. This piece of cardboard will lie on top of the thumbtack head. This prevents the electrical tape from sticking directly to the thumbtack so that the thumbtack is free to move up and down (and trapped in position) without being stuck to the tape. I then put the electrical tape in position so that the thumbtack is held with its pin stuck into the shutter button.

Works well and doesn't look that bad either since the black tape blends into the body and the thumbtack is not visible.

hi it depends on where it broke and if...(the button) if it just fell then u can just take the new button a shove it in untill theres a CLICK if its broke then u will need to pull out the rest and then shove it in DO NOT TRY TO OPEN THE CAMREA IF U DONT KNOW HOW!! you will brake the pins inside when u will and then it will cost u as a new cam good luck windman
