Sony Cyber-shot shows curved horizontal lines in bright photos and E:62:10 error

My Sony Cyber-shot is adding horizontal lines across photos, and the lines appear slightly curved in places. They change appearance as I zoom in on the image. This only happens in bright scenes or when there is a light source; in very dark scenes the photos look normal. The camera also shows error code E:62:10. Resetting the camera did not help. Video can still be recorded using a workaround. Could this be a sensor problem, lens problem, or something else?

The error E:62:10 is "lens error". Most likely the lens has lost its alignment with the sensor, maybe because it is bent or twisted a tiny bit out of shape.
This can cause the lines you see, as the camera is trying to compensate for an expected image from the lens, but the actual image is skewed.

This is most likely a hardware fault, not a settings issue. From the answers, E:62:10 indicates a lens error, so the lens may be slightly misaligned or damaged. A small twist or alignment problem between the lens and sensor could lead to strange image artifacts.
Another plausible cause is sensor or image-processing electronics failure, where alternating sensor lines are being read incorrectly, producing the horizontal “scan line” effect. The curved shape could happen because the camera firmware is applying lens distortion correction to a faulty or misaligned image.
The reason the lines seem to change when you zoom into the photo on a screen is probably moiré or display scaling, not the underlying fault changing.
Since a reset did not fix it and the camera already reports a lens error, the camera likely needs professional repair. If repair cost is high relative to the camera’s value, replacement may be more practical.
