When a “Memory Stick Duo” is inserted in the camera, images are recorded on the “Memory Stick Duo”.
Note that the camera cannot copy or transfer images directly between the internal memory and a “Memory Stick Duo”. Use the “PMB”.

Once the password is set, images in the internal memory cannot be played back.
In case of needing to read images in the internal memory from the password locked set, release the password locking.

1. Slide the lens cover.
2. Press the POWER button to turn off the camera.
3. Press      (Playback) button while pressing the W side of the zoom (W/T) button.
4. The power is now turned on, and the password release screen appears

When replacing the SY-211 board, erase the data in customer network setting data of the board before replacement.
Refer to Service Manual ADJ, and perform “NETWORK SETTING RESET”.

When you replace to the repairing board, the written destination data of repairing board also might be changed to original setting.
Refer to Service Manual ADJ, and perform “DESTINATION DATA WRITE”.

The set is shipped with a unique ID (USB Serial No.) written in it.
This ID has not been written in a new board for service, and therefore it must be entered after the board replacement.
Refer to Service Manual ADJ, and perform “USB SERIAL No. INPUT”.

When replacing the CN-396 board, erase the data in internal memory of the board before replacement.

The application “PMB Portable” has already built in the internal memory.
In case of replacing the CN-396 board or IC101 (internal memory) with new one, perform followings.

1. Format the internal memory with “INTERNAL MEMORY FORMAT” of the automatic adjustment program.
2. Write the application “PMB Portable” in with “PMB”.

1. Refer to Service Manual ADJ, and perform “DESTINATION DATA WRITE”.
2. Retrieve the access point to confirming the operation of wireless LAN.
3. If the SY-211 board or wireless LAN module (CP901) is replaced, the MAC address is changed, and thus the re-setting is required.

Accordingly, after the replacement and repair, print out the flyer given at the manual and attach it to the set when returning the set to the
customer.

When you replace to the repairing board, write down the sensitivity displayed on the angular velocity sensor (SE510).
Refer to Service Manual ADJ, and perform “Angular velocity sensor sensitivity adj”.

The sensor sensitivity of SE510 of SY-211 board is written only repair parts.

When replacing the lens, write down the PITCH/YAW data, FN data and wide limit data given on the data sheet of the replacement lens for
service.
Refer to Service Manual ADJ, and perform “Wide Limit adj” and “Angular velocity sensor sensitivity adj”.

Note that the camera cannot copy or transfer images directly between the internal memory and a “Memory Stick Duo”. Use the “PMB”.

Perform [Exporting images to medias] in the program “PMB”.
(In case of moving or copying image files from PC with Explorer, the camera cannot recognize the image files because of the image files
information doesn’t reflect to the album information data folder.)

Formats the “Memory Stick Duo” or the internal memory. A commercially available “Memory
Stick Duo” is already formatted, and can be used immediately.

Note that formatting permanently erases all data including even protected images.

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagnosis
function starts working, and displays on the LCD screen what to
do.
Details of the self-diagnosis functions are provided in the Instruction
manual.

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the LCD screen
shows a 4-digit display consisting of an alphabet and numbers, which
blinks at 3.2 Hz. This 5-character display indicates the “repaired
by:”, “block” in which the problem occurred, and “detailed code”
of the problem.

211 board).

Check the HALL element (PITCH) of optical image stabilizer
(pin q;, qa of CN501 on the SY-211 board). If it is OK, check
PITCH/YAW angular velocity sensor (SE510 on the SY-211
board) peripheral circuits.

Check the HALL element (YAW) of optical image stabilizer (pin
7

, qs of CN501 on the SY-211 board). If it is OK, check
