The lead free solder has been used in the mounting process of all electrical components on the printed circuit boards used for this
equipment in considering the globally environmental conservation.
The normal solder is the alloy of tin (Sn) and lead (Pb). On the other hand, the lead free solder is the alloy mainly consists of tin
(Sn), silver (Ag) and Copper (Cu), and the melting point of the lead free solder is higher approx.30

°C (86°F) more than that of the

normal solder.
Distinction of P.C.B. Lead Free Solder being used

• The lead free solder has to be used when repairing the equipment for which the lead free solder is used.

(Definition: The letter of “PbF” is printed on the P.C.B. using the lead free solder.)

• To put lead free solder, it should be well molten and mixed with the original lead free solder.
• Remove the remaining lead free solder on the P.C.B. cleanly for soldering of the new IC.
• Since the melting point of the lead free solder is higher than that of the normal lead solder, it takes the longer time to melt the

lead free solder.

• Use the soldering iron (more than 70W) equipped with the temperature control after setting the temperature at 350±30

°C

(662±86

°F).

• The following 3 types of lead free solder are available through the service parts route.

RFKZ03D01KS-----------(0.3mm 100g Reel)
RFKZ06D01KS-----------(0.6mm 100g Reel)
RFKZ10D01KS-----------(1.0mm 100g Reel)

* Ingredient: tin (Sn) 96.5%, silver (Ag) 3.0%, Copper (Cu) 0.5%, Cobalt (Co) / Germanium (Ge) 0.1 to 0.3%

1. The service manual does not contain the following information because of issues servicing to component level without neces-

sary equipment/facilities.

a. Schematic diagram, Block Diagram and P.C.B. layout of MAIN P.C.B..
b. Parts list for individual parts for MAIN P.C.B..

When a part replacement is required for repairing MAIN P.C.B., replace as an assembled parts. (MAIN P.C.B.)

2. The following category is/are recycle module part. please send it/them to Central Repair Center.

• MAIN P.C.B. (VEP56145A: P/PC/PU/EE/GC/GD/GK/GN/GT): Excluding replacement of Lithium Battery.
• MAIN P.C.B. (VEP56145B: EB/EF/EG/EP): Excluding replacement of Lithium Battery.

There are nine kinds of DMC-FZ150.

• a) DMC-FZ150 (Japan domestic model)
• b) DMC-FZ150P/PC
• c) DMC-FZ150EB/EF/EG/EP
• d) DMC-FZ150EE
• e) DMC-FZ150GT
• f)  DMC-FZ150GK
• g) DMC-FZ150GD
• h) DMC-FZ150GN
• i)  DMC-FZ150GC/PU

What is the difference is that the “INITIAL SETTINGS” data which is stored in Flash-ROM mounted on MAIN P.C.B..

To define the model suffix to be serviced, refer to the nameplate which is putted on the bottom side of the Unit.

After replacing the MAIN P.C.B., be sure to achieve adjustment.
The service software is available at “TSN Website”. To download, click on “Support Information from NWBG/VDBG-AVC”.

After replacing the MAIN P.C.B., make sure to perform the initial settings after achieving the adjustment by ordering the following
procedure in accordance with model suffix of the unit.
1. IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Before proceeding Initial settings, make sure to read the following CAUTIONS.

• Precautions: Read the above "CAUTION 1" and "CAUTION 2", carefully.
• Preparation:

- Attach the Battery or AC Adaptor with a DC coupler to the unit.

(Since this unit has built-in memory, it can be performed without inserting SD memory card.)

• Step 1. The temporary cancellation of “INITIAL SETTINGS”:

Set the mode dial to “[ P ] (Program AE mode)”. 
While pressing “[ UP ] of Cursor button” and [ MOTION PICTURE ] button simultaneously, turn the Power on.

• Step 2. The cancellation of “INITIAL SETTINGS”:

Press the [ PLAYBACK ] button, then playback the picture.
Press “[ UP ] of Cursor button” and [ MOTION PICTURE ] button simultaneously, then turn the Power off.
The LCD displays the “ ! ” mark before the unit powers down.

• Step 3. Turn the Power on:

Set the mode dial to “[ P ] (Program AE mode)”, and then turn the Power on. 

• Step 4. Display the INITIAL SETTING:

While pressing [ MENU/SET ] and “[ RIGHT ] of Cursor buttons” simultaneously, turn the Power off. 
The "INITIAL SETTINGS" menu is displayed.
There are two kinds of “INITIAL SETTINGS” menu form as follows:

12

[CASE 1. After replacing MAIN P.C.B.]
[Except “EG, EF, EB and EP” models: (VEP56145A is used as a Main P.C.B.)]
When MAIN P.C.B. has just been replaced, all of the model suffix is displayed as follows. (Four pages in total)

[Only “EG, EF, EB and EP” models: (VEP56145B is used as a Main P.C.B.)]
When MAIN P.C.B. has just been replaced, only 7 model suffix are displayed as follows. (Two pages in total)

[CASE 2. Other than “After replacing MAIN P.C.B.”]

• Step 5. Choose the model suffix in “INITIAL SETTINGS”: (Refer to “CAUTION 1”)

The model suffix can been chosen, JUST ONE TIME.
Once one of the model suffix have been chosen, the model suffix lists will not be displayed, thus, it can not be changed.
Therefore, select the area carefully.

Select the area with pressing “[ UP ] / [ DOWN ] of Cursor buttons”.
