Sony cybershot dsc-w80 - not working due to error...

Question

Hi

I have the sony cybershot dsc-w80 camera and when I switch it on, the lens zooms in and out twice, then an error message appears saying "Turn the power off and on again". When I switch on and off again the same problem occurs. I have tried switiching on and off at least a dozen times but the same error message appears. How can this be fixed?

Thanks
