I was taking a picture and camera fell lightly - seemed fine initially, then went to take another picture, got message about turning camera off an don, after viewing what tried to take in lens - hear motors going when power down, lens is in out position - looks fine and even more concerned on how to fix since camera is on loan since mine broke - can upload and everything on memory stick fine. weird -
There is likely a stick in the motor, or gears. Or perhaps something got stuck. This happened to our camera when it was dropped. Although it wouldn't focus, that is about the only difference. I would suggest taking it in, or trying to see if you can wiggle it loose.
It sounds like the lens is now out of adjustment and in order for this to be resolved, you will need to take it to a camera repair shop. I have heard good reports about a company called Ritz Camera. Not much else you can do with it unfortunately.

A stuck shutter is another common failure mode for digital cameras. The symptoms of a stuck or "sticky" shutter are very similar to CCD image sensor failure. The camera may take black pictures (for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be very bright and overexposed, especially when taken outdoors (for shutter stuck open).
To confirm a stuck shutter, put the camera in any mode other than "Auto", and turn the flash OFF (you don't want to blind yourself for the next step). Next look down the lens and take a picture. You should see a tiny flicker in the center of the lens as the shutter opens and closes. If no movement is seen, then you likely have a stuck shutter. If so, please see this link for further info and a simple fix that may help.
Hi, As in short answer you have to replace the optical lens assymbly.Because due to heavy jurk its motor called sledge motor stsrt malfunctioning and it can not be changed component level. For this please contact any SONY SERVICE CENTRE nearby to you. Hope you will understand. Thanks for using FIXYA!
My camera had the same problem it would turn off after i tried to take a picture and it would say lens error 112 all i did was put duracell batteries in it as soon as i did it worked it seems wierd but try it its cheaper than getting a new camera
Look at some of my posts today. This may be that the lens is off track and may be able to be pushed back by a little force as you start the camera....see my other posts on this problem.
Use bit more force to push or pull the lens as lens has been damaged. If applying bit more force lens goes to working, u saved $$$ otherwise, new lens option is always available at Sony repair shops.
Apparently often related to a lens motor malfunction. My old 4300 just gave this error for the first time today. The lens extended but made a whirring noise before the message popped up. Nothing I tried would fix it - but after I drove home it worked fine again.
I had a similar problem over a year ago after the camera fell out of my backpack (it was in its own bag but not well padded). When I used it the lens stuck and refused to retract, but I don't recall a "System Error" message. After a few tries, the lens went in and it's been fine since, until today.
Make sure there's nothing (dust, dirt) stuck in the lens barrels. Otherwise, just keep turning it on and off and hope it works.
The lens is probably stuck with a piece of dirt or something jamming it. You could gently try and pull on the lens with a slight turn in each direction to see if you can dislodge the particle.
Some individuals on the internet have felt comfortable enough to try and disassemble the camera to reveal the parts of the lens drive mechanism, clean it and put it back together and this sometimes will help (but that is beyond this response) because there are enough locations on the net that describe this.
Since it's 4 months old, you may want to return it for a replacement.
Other alternatives are:
Carefully use some compressed air around the lens mechanism.
Dont know if this will help anyone. I had a lens error for ages. In my long lasting devotion to google serk I found that many equall contenders found that a strike with a soft book in different directiions solved the problem. I ended up beating the camera from all angles with the palm of my hand. But hey! it worked. 4 months later im looking for the cure to system error 2. If you can help wi that one.
