Digital Camera Problems...HELP!?

So I use my dads digital camera to make videos for youtube and such. i accidentally dropped it trying to position it somewhere to start filming. i pick it up and turned it on and it worked. but when i went to start filming, i heard clicking and ratteling sounds on the bottom of the camera. i think it may be broken. i dont want to to explode or something. i think something inside got misplaced and its all my fault. I'm 13 and i dont know how to tell my dad. he gets angry easily, what if he kills me or something. i dont know what to do about the camera or about my dad. help please.

i will tell you all the details of the camera:
sony
5.1 megapixels DSC-W1
mpegmovieVX smart zoom
cyber shot
3x optical zoom
2.5 LCD monitor

it fell about...2 or 3 feet.

Unfortunately, even a fall to the carpet of a couple feet can damage a camera, I would just suggest getting a new camera. See if it has a warranty. I wouldn't open it because there are many small parts inside of that thing.

Good luck

Be honest!

whats the make & model of the camera

how far did it fall?

Does it actually record anything when you press the button? If so you'll be able to get away with it, it won't explode on you either. But the fact is you've gotta face up to your dad somee time or another and suck it up. Just tell him that it was an accident, which by what you told me it was. And hope for the best.

Here are some options...
1. get a new one b4 he knows
2.i dont think hes going to kill u since it was an accident, so just tell him the truth
3. Tell him and say ill do watever it takes to get it fixed or get a new one for you
btw, the camera is not going to explode

Your dad most definately wouldn't kill you. He loves you. Just tell him it was an accident.

Something may have just gotten a bit out of place. Its probably easy to fix.

You shouldn't feel bad. Just tell him.

It won't explode either. I'm pretty sure of that.

Good luck!
