<title><![CDATA[Sony Handycam FDR-AX33: Error code E:61:11 Autofocus not working, manual focus not possible]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I've had ths problem before, and it turned out to be the flex connector that goes into the floating gimbal wheere the lens is housed. I also had another problem where the camera completely died because that same flex connector snapped or was cut through by the sharp edge of the chassis, where the connector goes into the floating lens assembly.</p>

<p>But after fixing that issue, I now get one of two errors:</p>

<p>Either c:32:60 or E:61:11. The lens assembly has power again, but everything is out of focus. I can still zoom in and out, and the image is in focus at 2 points within the zoom range, but it makes no adjustments. Switching to manual focus also doesn't work. The little symbol just rapidly switches from 1 meter to infinity as I try to adjust. On autofocus, the same happens - a rapid switching between the flower and mountain symbols that represent the same.</p>

<p>Also: When I turn the camera on, there are clicking sounds, and it takes longer to switch on. I think the autofocus either came out of calibration somehow, or one of the connectors that takes visual data to wherever the focusing is calculated, isn't connected.</p>

<p>I've tried a factory reset, turning the camera off and on again in various orientations, etc.</p>

<p>I don't think it's a physical problem like a slipping gear or anything, because the last repairs didn't require messing with anything like that. The motors for the zoom and focus, are attached to the floating lens assembly, and I never needed to disassemble that.</p>

<p>Any ideas? I'm going to disassemble it again anyways to checK all the flex connectors are inserted properly...and because the mic flex connector split during the last reassembly.</p>

<div class="clearer"></div><div class="headerContainer"><h3 id="Section_Update_05_25_Num_23" class="header">Update (05/25/23)</h3></div>

<p>Right, I got the old connector off And got the pads re-tinned. And %#*@, do I need better flux! So much black slag was floating up out of nowhere, I can barely see what I'm doing. There are two pads That developed a bridge I absolutely can't get rid of, but looking at the board, it looks like it doesn't matter if they're shorted, since they seem to be connected anyways.</p>

<p>So now it's a matter of putting the new connector on. I'm not even going to try heating the board from beneath. I really don't trust this chinese solder paste</p>

<title><![CDATA[Sony Handycam FDR-AX33: C62:11 error then stabilization and zoom won't work]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>When I’m recording soccer games for my son, sometimes it works fine, other times I’m having an issue where an error code c62:11 blinks on screen. Then I cannot use the Zoom button to zoom in and out of the game, and it looks like the stabilization stops working as well. I also hear a squeaking noise coming from the lens sometimes when I zoom in far. There is also a slight “jump” with the lens when moving side to side, almost like the lens movement is sticking.</p>

<p>I thought about putting some WD40 or lubricant on the edge of the lens frame (not on the actual lens itself) to loosen up whatever is “sticking” inside (gears?).  Can anyone help me resolve this issue? Sony’s repair costs are nearly half the price of the camera. No thanks! ANY help is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I also have this problem that just started occurring.  Also the screen goes black and I have to reset the camera.  I am looking into a company called Camera Repair Center to send to for repair.  Did anyone find a solution other than sending it in?</p>

<title><![CDATA[Sony Handycam FDR-AX33: FDR-AX33 with boot loop problem]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi. I have a problem with my FDR-AX33. It has a boot loop problem. When I turn it on, the logo appears and then disappears immediately. It does this three times and then shuts off completely. This problem started right after I inserted a faulty SD card. What could be the problem? Thank's a lot.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Sony Handycam FDR-AX33: Need to remove plastic debris from card slot]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/BnhLqpHfmwKLZEtF.standard" width="221" height="225" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com\/igi\/BnhLqpHfmwKLZEtF.huge&quot;, '', 'width=1175,height=1200')" /></div>

<p>After removing a card from the slot I noticed that some of the upper left corner of the card had broken off. That card will no longer go into the slot, but a complete card will. However when that card is inserted it needs to be wiggled in order to get the card to lock in place.<br /><br />How do I disassemble the camera in order to be able to remove the debris that I suspect is causing the trouble?</p>

<title><![CDATA[Sony Handycam FDR-AX33: While recording, image glitches (flashes, reverse colors—purple)]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I’ve used my <strong>Sony Handycam FDR-AX33</strong>  for a few years now. Most recordings are of my sons playing ice hockey.</p>

<p>The last time I was recording a game the camera LCD screen started glitching. Horizontal lines, inverse colors (purple), like an old TV on the fritz. But it wasn’t just the screen, it was the actual device as the same happens in the viewfinder as well.</p>

<p>I don’t know what is actually damaged and what needs to be repaired. A key component is probably loose, but what?</p>

<p>The temperature outside was -8 degrees Celcius.</p>

<p>Any thoughts?</p>
