HOLY CRAP! i just spent 20 min trying to fix my camera against my hand. Finally, i got angry and hit it 5 times on a wooden chair. IT WORKS! but it was still blurry. i turned off my camera and then turned it back on and ITS CLEAR!!!! btw i have aDSC-T9!!!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE HITTING METHOD!

This kills me! Same access error on my daughters camera- took the entire camera apart but couldn't find anything wrong. I put it back together and was about to give up when I found this site, just then my 12 year old daughter came down. I started smacking the camera around and it started to work. We were cracking up! Realized then from my previous dismantling job that the problem lies in the small plastic gearing that drives the lens. The initial fall that damages most of these cameras knocks the gears out of thier alignment position, the subsequent smack puts them back (hopefully) where they belong. If the smack down doesn't work take the camera apart and remove the two small screws that house the gearing (look for the small exposed white gear at the bottom of the camera next to the lens). Carefully manuever the gears back into position. This isn't for the weak at heart but even if it doesn't work you're no worse off then you were previously.

This is awsome. I just tried the smack methode with my Sony Dsc T3! Thank you so much, it saved me a lot of money. Cheers Soja

BE CAREFUL!... just tried this technique, and i had the charger in when i hit it on the back of the lcd as many people said works,, my lcd just cracked.. so i guess the camera is basically garbage now.. so be careful when you hit it on the lcd side...

I was quite sceptic but!.. Sony DSC-F707 with error code E:61:10 has been perfectly cured with two smacks! Thank you very much indeed!

I have a Sony DSC F707 and when I do "power on" it display show "Memory stick error". I changed memory stick by new - no result. If any one knows how to fix this or even what it means please let me know Nikolai

I am having the EXACT same problem. I can't fix it. Now my focus does not work either, even manually. My digital zoom is not working, my focus is not working, and I am getting this error message of E:61:10. If anyone helps you, let me know. I am searching the internet for a fix and have yet to locate one.

ESTOU COM PROBLEMAS NA MINHA CAMERA MAVICA O ERRO É E:61:10. COMO ARRUMAR ISTO.

WOW---what a find. My fiancee and I love our Mavica. We, too, had the dreaded Error 61:10 code appear out of the blue. Two whacks and we're back in the photo business. Many thanks to those who shared. Sandi

Gracias por el consejo. Yo tuve el mismos problema con un error de codigo E:61:10 en mi camara Sony DSC T-9. Le di un par de golpes sobre la mesa y se arreglo.
