I got a CX6330 as a Christmas gift from my Son about four or five years ago and that time I never got it to work, after a real short impatient effort. Its been in a drawer for at least 4 years and yesterday I needed something better than my phone camera so I spent all day today reading the book trying to get this thing to work. Got the E45 error at least three times along with the lens sticking closed or open a multitude of times. Spent all day playing with batteries, buttons, tech support etc.. NADA! Found this site and read that this is a common problem with this camera, then rolled my eyes. I really hated to smack a brand spanking new never used camera, but I did. Three times on a thin foam pad on the desktop. Now this NOS POS works! I can say it's not dirt or batteries causing my problem since the camera is brand new. Thank you guys for the high tech fix!
