After about couple weeks of use, my RX100 developed a permanent E:62:10 message flashing in the middle of the display. The camera would still take photos, but the error code is annoying and slows down the display response.

The RX100 has been handled carefully and stored in a case, so don't know what caused it. Resetting the camera and removing battery did not cure the problem. Has anyone seen this problem?

If that hadn't worked maybe a hammer would.

I also have a Sony HX400V which I purchased in 2014 and it suddenly without warning shows the error code E:62:10

On reading other peoples complaints here this would appear to be a common problem with Sony cameras.

While it can happen it is far from common. In fact seeing how few people have reported this error in the 5 1/2 years since the beginning of this thread should tell you how rare this error is.

I daresay the reason for "how few people have reported this error" is because the vast majority of users don't know about DPReview, wouldn't have a clue how to report it here nor where to report it on the internet. At best they probably went back to the place they bought the camera from.

Your reasoning is flawed. To begin with people are far more likely to complain about an problem than declare they have none. People on DPR is a good representative sample so if you count the number of people who own Sony cameras and post in the forums and compare that number with the number of people who say they have had the error you can then get a good idea of the percentage of people who have this error. Based on that I'd say the percentage is very small and the error is rare.

Example; If, hypothetically, 1,000,000 Sony cameras have been sold in the last 5 years and 1000 people have had the error that is only 1/10 of 1% which makes it rare. While 1000 might seem like a lot based on the total number sold it is not.

My current HX400V has been serving hard duty for almost four years now, with no glitches. No one has produced another model in that time, that comes even close to matching its performance, for both photos and videos. But I'm still hoping for one with its capabilities, that shoots 4K video.

Over the past 29 years, I've used 12 different Sony cameras and camcorders and given 10-day tryouts to 3 others. I've never had any error codes on the screens. I've had only one major breakdown in any of them, which was caused by using the wrong kind of wet cleaning cassette, that the dealer sold me.

The "Sudden shutter death" issue with the three H5 cameras I had briefly, is the only other problem I've had with any of them, except for a couple of tape drives that lost their tracking alignment, after 3 and 5 years of hard, almost daily use (probably fixable by a repair shop, but they were outdated, so I didn't bother).

No doubt Steve you have been very lucky. Like you I have used Sony cameras extensively over the past 15 years - SX50, F717, HX1, A330, HX100, a77, a77ii, HX400, A6000, A6300, HX350 There was national recall on the F717 12+ years ago to fix a problem. Two years ago I had a 15 month old HX400v develop the E:62:10 error code which Sony did not/would not help me with this and then last year had a major issue with an a6000 which was about 20 months old and which Sony did repair - was a board/shutter button issue.

There is a fix on YouTube. It works for my Hx400v. Camera on and max zoom. Takes out the battery. Tapping the lens gently all sides. Put in the battery. Error message disappeared. Good luck.
