I am now veeery very mad with SE T300 and it's stupid camera , in the last few days when I connect the MCA-25 to my T300 it doesn't do anything! After taking it out and inserting it again like 20 times it reacts and enters the camera menu. And also when I'm using the viewfinder in the cellphone sometimes it freezes and have to reinsert the ... camera. This is getting on my nerves because before in the first time you inserted the camera, it worked. Grrr... SE...

I thought i'm alone. Had the same experience with my t68 and mca-25. I got used to my "reinserting task" everytime i'd have to use the cam. I guess the prob really goes along any mca-25 esp when the memory's filled.

This problem is known to occur when the connector on your phone is dirty. Clean it or take it to a service center and let them do it. Has been posted before...

Yeah, it has been discussed many many times before. I have the exact same problem too. Luckily mine doesnt lock up during usage like yours ... And yes, i too have gotten used to the task of inserting the bloody camera a few times before it finally works. :-( But look on the bright side, the quality of the pics are really great !! :-D

I have to agree, the pix r wonderful

Even better than the t610 esp when in the dark. For me, that is.

Thx for the links.
So I have to put something in the connectors?
And round it with tape?

Actually the best tool to clean it is a toothpick. Just a little water on the point and then you can clean it efficiently. Done this proceedur a couple of times with good result.

Clean with a toothpick? where should I clean, what parts?

The connectors on the camera and the phone!

Just clean the contacts. I use compresed air for that. Also I regulary "blast" my phone from dust this way.
