New HX9V - error code E:95:00 ??

[ucdcrush]

I looked in the manual, and all it says for this is:

E:95:
There is trouble with the camera’s hardware. Turn the power off and on again.

Has anyone come across this error before? I had it flashing on the screen while doing some outdoor shooting... came inside, turned it on and off, it came up again.. now I have used it another 3-4 times and it is not coming up anymore. It is not a hot day and I was hardly in the sun when it happened, so I am not suspecting heat.

Anyone have an idea what it could be? This camera is only a few days old, so far I like it quite a bit but it does sometimes turn itself off then back on when processing a 3D multi angle sweep.

Well yesterday I had a problem when doing a sweep. The screen turned black and then the camera turned off and on and it did not record the sweep.

Got the same problem making some first test shots with my new HX9V. The camera rebooted and displayed that error every time I took a photo until I removed and re-inserted the battery and SD card. Hope it doesn't show up again! This is one of the things you don't want to see after spending a lot of money for a Camera.

It's a wonder how so many problems with electronic equipment can be solved just by turning them off and disconnecting the power for awhile.

Ahh, I lost track of this post from a few days ago.

Interesting that others have had this same issue and/or the reboot while taking multi angle sweep (not 3d panorama, that always works fine for me as there is no real "processing" done after the pic is shot). I am going to keep taking test shots, sweeps etc. to see if I can figure out any pattern with it.

It is disappointing to have this issue. I have to wonder if a firmware fix would help, or if Sony has a good record with correcting errors in digicams via firmware.

To me it happened while in superior auto mode, not in sweep panorama.

Well yesterday I had a problem when doing a sweep. The screen turned black and then the camera turned off and on and it did not record the sweep.

I have experienced something similar on a few occasions; certainly once when using sweep panorama; on another occasion the screen went blank and completely unresponsive. Removing the battery and replacing it got it back to normal. On another couple of occasions, when turning it on, the camera would not focus on anything and was completely blurred. Again, turn it off and back on and all was OK.

I described these problems with Sony UK and they suggested sending the camera to their repair centre for analysis. I'll wait for a while before doing that.
