    Question Cybershot DSC-F505V



    I have a F505V for daily use - great camera.
    Suddenly the White Balance Spot Meter and Macro buttons are totally screwed up. Pressing Macro gets the spot meter, Spot meter gets the White balance, etc.

    I have the servcice manual, but could not find mention of a "reset" button.

    I opened the back housing looking for one, to no luck.

    When I replaced the back housing, now the camera will not power on.
    It starts to power up, the LCD briefly flashes - (very dark, just a lighter grey flash), the power light flashes on, then it all goes dead.

    Any suggestions, or knowledge of where the "reset" or "reinitialize" button is located?

    Sorry to hear about your problem...
    I don't know your model of camera but I had one, which, when the batteries were left out for 24h, it reset to initial factory settings.
    You could maybe give it a go. and I hope this helps.
    Kind Regards.

    EUREKA!!!!!!

    I dis-assembled the whole danged camera - completely.
    I left the pieces and parts laying on anti-static film for three days.
    When I put the sucker back together, it worked like brand new.
