This might be late, and it's 2024 now, but fixing the battery (removing and attaching it back) is a temporary solution. There are several factors or causes as some say, but they could differ depending on situation. My DSC-L1 had the same problem. For 2 days, while the cam is turned on I have removed the memory stick and attached it again just for it to work. The VX (Fine) mode was limited to 5 seconds only.
