Well, I have already purchased a new camera since I could not get rid of the error message. Unfortunately, I left my new camera at a friend's house and I need a camera tomorrow, so . . . . back to troubleshooting the Sony. I came across this page and thought you all must be crazy but in a last ditch effort, I tickled the lense - nothing happened. Banged it while it was open - still nothing, so I was beginning to think this all was a joke, but then I tapped it quite firmly with my palm with the lense closed and when I powered it on - NO MORE ERROR MESSAGE!! Thank you!! Now I will be able to capture pictures tomorrow of my children and their great-grandparents!! I love message-boards!

I'll join the many others here in saying that this, shockingly, worked.
I have the F-707. It gave me the E:61:00 message. I bummed out, figuring an expensive repair was coming (never mind the fact that I leave in 2 days to travel from Indiana to California to have Thanksgiving with my wife's parents and to visit some sites in San Fran such as Alcatraz and, thus, really need a camera). I Googled the message code, found this thread, and just took and whacked the barrel against my palm a couple of times. I started out gently, that didn't work. I did it pretty hard, but not so hard as to tear it up, and I didn't DROP it, but I gave it a good whack a couple times, on the barrel, on each side, and it works!€€
Now, will this be a longterm solution or is it a sign that my beloved camera is going to soon clonk out for good? I dunno, but for now, I am happy to report it is doing fine. I turned the camera off and on several times and have taken a couple of practice shots...and, so far, so good.
