Sony a200 problems
 

I have had a Sony a200 for about a year or so with no problem, but over Christmas it developed a very noisy vibration whenever it was switched on or had a fresh battery inserted. Also for some reason the viewfinder and the finished photo are out of line and I have to aim low and left with the viewfinder to get the subject central in the photo.
Am I doing something wrong, or have I changed some setting unwittingly, or does the camera need some sort of repair?
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

The vibration is the self cleaning for the sensor, it is supposed to shake dust off it. I ‘m not sure about the lining up problem, have you tried putting the camera on a tripod and using live view to take a photo to see if there is a problem with that?

Thanks very much Mike, I'll try the tripod and see what happens. At least the vibration isn't something serious.
All the best.

I have read of similar problems before. Apparently is the steadyvshot mechanism becoming jammed. As the steady shot system physically moves the sensor itbis possible thecsensor has jammed out of alignment.
