Sony problem

Sony said Friday it found a defect in some of

its digital cameras and offered to repair affected cameras

free of charge.

The liquid crystal display screens of eight camera models

might not display images correctly, saved images might be

distorted or cameras might not take photos at all, Sony

Corp. said in a statement.

Affected are eight camera models sold between September

2003 and January 2005 in Japan and during a similar period

overseas, Sony said.

Sony will repair for free only cameras that show signs of

the problems, Sony said.
