Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-TX55 Troubleshooting

Anytime you take a picture the flash does not go off

Depending on the camera, there should be a flash button with an icon that looks like a lightning bolt. You can press this button to change the flash settings.

When turning on the flash it may set to AUTO or the ON setting. Sometimes the flash will not go off on AUTO setting if the camera detects enough backlighting. By turning it to the ON setting, it should flash every time you take a picture.

If you have made sure the flash is turned to ON or AUTO and the flash still does not go off, the bulb may no longer work. Please see a guide on how to change the flash lightbulb.

Pictures taken come out blurry or distorted on the LCD screen

When taking pictures the lens must be clean with no dirt or finger smudges on it. If there is enough dirt or smudges the pictures may not be taken clearly and will look blurry or distorted. Only clean your lens with a proper cleaning cloth

If you are using your camera without a tripod then it is likely that the pictures may become distorted. If your hands shake or the camera is not completely still it can cause the picture to become distorted. To avoid this a tripod may be used if your camera is compatible. If not make sure to cause as little movement as possible when taking pictures.

If the lens is clean and the camera is not being moved while pictures are taken, then the LCD screen may no longer be functioning. Please see the LCD repair guide to fix.
