Hi all. I'm from Argentina and had the same problem with my DSCF717. After two years of great pictures the image got distorted, then completely black. As I had bought the camera in USA I mailed it to a friend and I had it fixed for free because of the SONY recall. Few pictures after the repair the camera started to have the "exposure problem". In my camera this means I can not use automatic exposure in most situations because of over or under exposure. I still use the camera, however, in manual exposure mode since the sensor indicates the right exposure BEFORE pressing the release button so I can manually regulate the right exposure. The pictures are very good. Not having automatic exposure is a pain, though, when the ocassion requires a quick shot. I will be buying a new camera by now. NOT a SONY.
