Hi all, My Sony Z3C is showing some problems with the built-in camera. It only focuses on near objects, so basically I can only shoot macro photos.

Hi all,
My Sony Z3C is showing some problems with the built-in camera. It only focuses on near objects, so basically I can only shoot macro photos.
It happened all of a sudden, I had just shot one photo and the next one was out of focus.
Later I found out that if I slap it on the palm of my hand or beat it on a not so hard surface, it goes back to normal for a while and maybe after an hour I'm in the same trouble.
Furthermore, after slapping it, the devices gets so hot that I can't hold it and have to switch it off and let it cool down for a while on a fresh surface.
Any idea?
Thanks!
