Error E:61:00

Solved
Hello,
I have a Sony DSC-W1 camera and when I turned it off, the zoom wouldn't retract and the message E:61:00 appeared. Three firm slaps with the palm of my hand on the lower left side of the camera and it was back to normal; the message disappeared and the zoom worked again. I performed the operation with the device turned on.
It's miraculous.
A thousand thanks...

  2. Nikel, E:61:00 = problem with the zoom
    for me it was dust, a little cleaning, a blast of air and it's all good

    2. Thank you, I had the same error E:61:00 on my Sony Cybershot camera of 5.1 MP and I slapped it and tried to clean the zoom. It works now.

      Thank you very much.

      1. It's true, it works and it avoids changing it, at least for now. Thanks for the info.

            1. Hello, I have the same problem with my device because I dropped it from quite a height. But I tried giving it 3 taps and it still doesn’t work... What should I do?
              Thanks in advance.

              1. Actually, it works too well but stronger than you, two slaps were enough ;-)
                In any case, thanks for the tip, you're a pro.

                  1. Error E:61:10 on a Sony Cybershot DSC T25, it is indeed the optical zoom (after a trip to the beach...) +> by tapping the camera on the zoom side (on a desk and mouse pad) several times, I managed to unlock the zoom.

                      1. It's the first time I've found a solution to a complicated problem on "How it works"...
                        It's brutal but it works!

                        1. Proven method successfully tested on a PC109 camcorder that has been stuck for a while. I had tested several methods: trying manual adjustments, unplugging and reattaching the battery, with random results - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Always the same symptom: zoom stuck in the tele position, no focus.
                          A little slap on the left side is radical. It’s another application of the kick-at-the-bottom method that I successfully tested on the washing machine.
                          Thank you for this confirmation: old methods are the only real ones.

                              1. thank you for the advice ..............
                                after three slaps on the bottom left, the error disappeared and it works great again
                                it's a bit unorthodox but super effective
