Sony Alpha SLT-A55V: Pink screen / Écran rose

Mon, 26 May 2025 22:47:15 -0700

Hello, my camera will not take picture anymore! The red light at the bottom of the camera is activated and the screen become pink (see picture) when i first turn it on. Also, when I put the batterie on or when i take a picture, the camera start to do noises and nothing happens (the camera wont start/the picture is not taken). When i take a video and then export it to my computer, the video has the sound, but we only see the pink screen. What is the problem and how can i fix it? Thanks

Bonjour, mon appareil ne veut plus prendre de photo! Il y a la lumière rouge qui est allumé et mon écran devient rose (voir la photo) lorsque je l'allume. Ensuite, quand je met la batterie et quand je prend une photo, la camera fait des bruits étranges et rien arrive (la camera ne départ pas quand je le met a on/la photo n'est pas retenue). Lorsque je prend une video et que je l'exporte sur mon ordinateur, le son est bon, mais on ne voit que l'écran rose. Quel est le problème et comment puis-je le réparer? Merci

Sony Alpha SLT-A55V: Why is my iso button glitching

Fri, 25 Apr 2025 07:15:37 -0700

When ever I turn on the camera my iso button in the multitouch pad begins to glitch, it doesn’t glitch when I’m in photo mode, nor when I switch between modes nor is it stuck. I tried contacting Sony but they told me to contact my country’s service Center, but there is no sony service Center in my country.
