Sony Cybershot S750
Editor's Review
With a price and feature set aimed squarely at entry-level digital photographers, the Sony Cybershot S750 would be a good pick as a small, lightweight go-anywhere camera for a more experienced photographer or a first rig for a total newbie. In its extremely small and ergonomic frame it packs a 7.2-megapixel sensor, a 3x optical zoom lens, face detection, and a high sensitivity ISO 1200 mode for shooting in low light. In other words, it's got everything you need for snapshots, party shots, and general day-to-day shooting.

reinsert memory card (Tina — 10/12/2010)
Hi, when i insert the memory card in the camera it is showing hat i should reinsert card, i did and it still shows the same thing. can you please tell me what is wrong

by James DeRuvo (10/13/2010)
Could be a faulty card. Have you tried another? if you try another and it works, then you know it's a bogus card. If you do and the problem persists, it points to a hardware issue.

Try cleaning your battery contacts with a pencil eraser. Also, make sure the battery is the same better model as recommended by Sony. There's counterfeits out there and it could cause issues.

It's usually there so a) you can test out a few shots in-store and b) so that burst mode can work. The camera captures images faster than it can write them to the card in that mode, so they're saved into the internal memory so the writing process can "catch up" so to speak.

where do i find a manual for my camera 7.2 cybershot sony
reply to this comment
by James DeRuvo (09/17/2009)
You can find a PDF copy at SONY STYLE under Customer Support. PDF copies are great because they are searchable.
But as for your zoom being stuck, try cycling the camera on/off several times. Lenses can sometimes get knocked out of alignment by a wayward jarring or even a drop of a few inches. Cycling the camera on/off will help the lens work it's way back in.
But never force the lens, you could stip the rails.

I'm not really sure what you're trying to ask here, but generically, I can suggest you clean your battery contacts, update the firmware of your camera, and if the camera is more than two years old, consider replacing the LiOn Battery. If it uses AAs, try using more powerful models. Today's cameras simply can't run on regular alkaline's anymore. They require too much energy and drain them dry rather quickly.
But if these basic steps don't help, then you're probably needing to have the camera repaired.

When I plug the charger up the light comes on for about 10 seconds, then goes off. I have 2 batteries and it's doing it to both. Bad charger? (gtrent — 06/07/2009)
reply to this comment
Brenda Paro (06/08/2009)
It's possible. It's also possible you have two bad batteries, if you happened to buy them together. If you can try a different charger without having to buy one, that'd be best. Also check inside the camera and make sure the battery connections are clean.
reply to this comment
gtrent (06/08/2009)
Thanks Brenda, I bought the extra battery after the first one so I don't think it would be the batteries. Since I use it in my business I contacted customer service and they are having me send the charger in.

Larry (03/21/2009)
Sometimes just taking the battery out for a few minutes and then putting it back in will reset the camera brain and it will be ready to go again. If not, then look in the manual (each camera has a different procedure for resetting the "brain") index for reset or resetting and follow the instructions. Good Luck.

The camera was working fine and now once i transfer my pictures they look over exposed and really red. I've tried resetting. Any ideas? (lisey53 — 03/13/2009)

I may not be your camera. It may be your computer monitor. Most monitors aren't calibrated for proper color and temperature. There could easily be a difference from your LCD on the camera to your monitor to even your printer. There are calibration utilities that you can use to adjust the monitor (called the Spyder) that cost around $90.
Also, you may want to see if there's a firmware update which will address the issue at Sony's website. I'd also try using your presets to see if it changes there. And if they're overexposed taking flash pictures, then I'd say your either too close to your subject or need to adjust the exposure using the exposure compensation.
If that persists, then perhaps you need to send it in for a look see. But I'm betting you're just expecting it to look just like it does on the camera and it simply can't because you're going to three separate mediums.

Does this camera work with Home Vista? (robertpriv — 01/25/2009)
Home Vista is the "setup" i have on my only comp. i know some cameras cant download photos onto the comp. for some reason.
reply to this comment
Mr. C (01/25/2009)
Yes, the Sony S750 works with all versions of Microsoft Windows Vista. The software included with the camera should work with Windows Vista. If it doesn't, you can try running the included software in "Windows XP SP2" compatibility mode. For more information about Vista's compatibility mode, visit the link below.

Or, rather than hassling with compatibility and drivers, you can simply invest in a USB card reader. They're between $15-20 and will cause your memory stick to be read as a drive on the PC. Then it's a simple drag and drop.

How frequent does the Sony Cybershot 750 need recharging? (spalmer — 12/28/2008)
Does the Sony Cybershot 750 camera require recharging or just the Memory Stick?
reply to this comment
by James DeRuvo (01/02/2009)
Memory sticks are storage devices for your pictures. As such, they don't need recharging, just moving of the pictures to your computer once full and then deleting the pics from your memory stick so you can take more pictures. The Sony does have a lithium ion battery that will need recharging from time to time, however. You simply stick it in the AC adapter and plug it in. Should recharge in about 90 minutes (make sure you leave it charging over night on the first charge, though. this will give you max battery capacity from the get go).

Question only partially answered.
reply to this comment
by James DeRuvo (01/05/2009)
Actually, it's completely answered. But as the question was framed, you seemed to be asking if it was the camera that needed to be charged or the memory stick. Thus, I answered it was the camera that gets charged Now, if you want to know how many pictures you can take on a charged battery, that's another answer entirely. You should get about 190 shots with standard use. Course, that'll vary depending on how often the flash is used, how much you review pictures on the LCD, etc. Your mileage may vary.

Type of Memory Card (clariecead — 09/28/2008)
what type of memory card does it require?

Can I use the Memory Stick Duo Pro that I used in the S600. My S600 lens will not open.
reply to this comment
bukit97 (09/29/2008)
Sony S750 uses Memory Stick Duo and Memory Stick PRO Duo.
These would be the same as what you use in S600.
S600 lens wouldn't open probably has nothing to do with the memory stick. Chances are the memory stick of your S600 are still working and can be used in S750.

Brenda Paro (07/22/2008)
Make sure your batteries are fully charged and properly inserted. This sounds like a camera that isn't getting power. If that's not the issue you may have a darker/ deeper problem, but eliminate that possibility first!

shots taken without memory stick (jjones69 — 07/17/2008)
the Sony S750 I have only took 10 shots without the memory stick
reply to this comment
by James DeRuvo (07/19/2008)
At full res, that sounds about right. The internal memory is only 22MB and subtracting what you need for the OS, yep, that's about right. Which is why the IM is rather useless.
reply to this comment
Marge Wendt (03/14/2009)
If the Internal Memory only holds about 10 pictures what good is it? Mine only held 6 pictures. Can you still take pictures and down load them on the computerafter internal memory is full?

Hi - I would like to know how you delete all of the pictures at once as opposed to one at a time? thanks (chanson13 — 07/09/2008)
reply to this comment
Brenda Paro (07/10/2008)
Depends on the camera, but there's usually an option in the menus. Go into Playback mode (to look at the photos you've taken) and hit the Menu button. You should see an option for deleting all. If not, Reformatting the memory card will also do it.

Sony doesn't have a Delete all. For Sony, we use "Format". I've done it hundreds of times, hasn't harmed the camera.

Essentially, it may have gone out of alignment off the rails slightly. If your camera is still under warranty, the best thing you can do have Sony should fix it.
If Sony claims impact damage and refuses to repair it for free, the one thing you can try is to gently, and I do mean GENTLY push against the lens with the PALM of your hand as you turn it on, it may cause it to depress back into the camera. If that doesn't work, and you can't reset it or turn it on/off several times, then you may have to send it in for a repair estimate anyway.
But understand that the average cost of a camera repair is around $180.
Sony cameras are male? LOL.

Date showing on the image (SUPAR — 04/02/2008)
How can I adjust the settings in Sony S750 model camera so that I can see the date on the printed image?
reply to this comment
Andrew Skinner (04/02/2008)
Rasel,
Most digital cameras only do a digital printing on the image file (not the image itself). This camera falls into that category. You can add the date yourself in photo editing software though before printing. Good luck and happy shooting.

Simply put, you can't really get that feature anymore unless you do it in a software utility like photoshop. In film cameras, date backs would expose light the film in the form of date and time so it was literally burned into the negative image.
As the digital file is marked by a date and time when it's saved, the use of a date stamp feature in digital cameras has lost popularity amongst camera manufacturers as a feature. Sorry, but the AS710A's postcard feature may be the best you can do unless you're willing to add the date/time after the fact.
Check out MAGTIME - filedudes.com/MagiTime-down... it's an application which adds date/time to the picture. But beware, once you do it, it can't be undone.

if is posible to use this ring as an accesory DigiCam ring 45/52 (poncho — 03/22/2008)

reply to this comment
Aditya D (04/01/2008)
It really depends on the ring, but I've seen the S750 and it doesn't look like there is a place to put a ring onto the camera, so I would say no. If you go to Best Buy or Sony Style you can check the ring with the camera, but I know the majority of S Series cannot take a ring. Hope this helps.
reply to this comment
by James DeRuvo (04/01/2008)
Aditya is right. I don't think there's any way for the ring to hold on, much less be small enough to fit securely. Unless custom made.

Soft spot for the S750
(LM RYF — 02/26/2010)
I've had the chance to play around with dozens of cameras in the past year, but this was the first digicam that I owned and I have a soft spot for it. The performance is solid for a tiny, two-year-old camera, interface is good too. The only beef I have is the stupid Memory Stick format guhhh.
