    I owned two Sony point and clicks before this one and they were good. This one went bad after just one year, the camera wouldn't focus so the pics were blurry. I replaced it with a Canon point and click that is really nice.

      Hi Kjd12159, we're sorry to hear that you're having this problem with your camera. If the subject is out of focus, do as follows:
      - Recompose the shot so that the subject is centered in the AF range finder, and press the shutter button halfway to focus on the subject (AF lock).
      - When the AE/AF lock indicator stops flashing and remains on, return to the fully composed shot, and press the shutter button fully down.
      In addition to the above steps, please check out the article below for more troubleshooting steps.

      I hope this helps. Dave sony_US

    We purchased the camara because we were going to a trip to California, Napa and Carmel, and it worked out great. Good pictures and a lot of memory. We actually recommended it to a couple of friends.

    The camera works well, but I should have checked to see if it used batteries and not just an internal battery. I am on the road a lot and have had the camera charge run out in a day. I am looking for a car charger for it.
