Turn the power off and on again.

Trouble with internal memory.

INTERNAL MEMORY ERROR

Checking of lens drive circuit.

When failed in the focus and zoom
initialization.

—

Checking of flash unit or replacement
of flash unit. (Note)

Abnormality when flash is being
charged.

After repair, be sure to perform “1-2. PROCESS AFTER FIXING FLASH ERROR”.

When “FLASH error”  (Self-diagnosis Code  E : 91 : ** ) occurs, to prevent any abnormal situation caused by high voltage, setting of the
flash is changed automatically to disabling charge and flash setting.
After fixing, this setting needs to be deactivated. Flash error code can be initialized by the operations on the Setup screen.

  E:62:ss

Steady shot function does not work well.

Inspect angular velocity sensor
Peripheral circuits.

Initializes the setting to the default setting.

The message “Initialize all settings Ready?” appears.

• Make sure that the power is not disconnected during resetting.

• Even when you initialize a setting, the data recorded on the internal memory is not deleted.

OK

Resets the settings to the default setting.

Cancel

Cancels the resetting.

The data can be copied/erased by the operations on the Setup screen. (When erasing the data, execute formatting the internal memory.)

When replacing the SY-164 board, erase the data in internal memory of the board before replacement.

When replacing the SY-164 board or the IC401 on the SY-164 board, execute formatting and initialize the internal memory after
replacement.

This item does not appear when a “Memory Stick Duo” is inserted in the camera.

Formats the internal memory.

• Note that formatting irrevocably erases all data in the internal memory, including even protected images.

The message “All data in internal memory will be erased Ready?” appears.

OK

Formats the internal memory.

Cancel

Cancels the formatting.

If you cannot play back a Music file for the Slide Show, the Music file might be corrupted. If 
this happens, perform [Format Music].
When [Format Music] is performed, all the Music files are erased. Use the supplied 
application software “Music Transfer” to activate [Download Music].

The message “All data will be erased Ready?” appears.

OK

Formats the Music files. All data other than Music files remain as 
it is.

Cancel

Cancels the formatting.

Copies all images in the internal memory to a “Memory Stick Duo”.

1

Insert a “Memory Stick Duo” having 64 MB or larger capacity.

2

Touch [COPY].
The message “All data in internal memory will be copied Ready?” appears.

3

Touch [OK].
Copying starts. 

• Use a fully charged battery pack or the AC Adaptor (not supplied). If you attempt to copy image files 

using a battery pack with little remaining charge, the battery pack may run out, causing copying to fail or 
possibly corrupting the data.

• You cannot copy individual images.

• The original images in the internal memory are retained even after copying. To delete the contents of the 

internal memory, remove the “Memory Stick Duo” after copying, then execute the [Format] command in 

 (Internal Memory).

• You cannot select a folder copied on a “Memory Stick Duo”.

• Even if you copy data, a 

 (Print order) mark is not copied.

OK

Copies the image files in the internal memory.

Cancel

Cancels the copying.

Check the default data of VIDEO OUT if destination code is right. If not, rewrite to the right value.

Writing Method:
1) Select page: 00, address: 01, and set data: 01.
2) Select page: 4F, address: 89, and set data: 00 (NTSC) or data: 01 (PAL).
3) Select page: 40, address: 38, and set data: 00.
4) Click

7) Select page: 00, address: 01, and set data: 00.

If the SY-164 board is replaced, initial language setting may be changed. Check the default data of INITIAL LANGUAGE if destination code
is right. If not, rewrite to the right value.

Initial language: Language displayed at the next starting if the setting of Setup menu was reset.

It is different from the language setting selectable with the menu.

• Make sure that the flat cable and flexible board are not cracked of bent at the terminal.

Do not insert the cable insufficiently nor crookedly.

• When remove a connector, don’t pull at wire of connector. It is possible that a wire is snapped.

• When installing a connector, don’t press down at wire of connector.

It is possible that a wire is snapped.

Cut and remove the part of gilt 
which comes off at the point.
(Be careful or some 
pieces of gilt may be left inside) 

The charging capacitor (C901) of the ST-135 flexible board is
charged up to the maximum 330 V potential.
There is a danger of electric shock by this high voltage when the
capacitor is handled by hand.  The electric shock is caused by
the charged voltage which is kept without discharging when the
main power of the unit is simply turned off.  Therefore, the
remaining voltage must be discharged as described below.

To preparing the short jig, a small clip is attached to each end of
a resistor of 1 k

Ω /1 W (1-215-869-11).

Wrap insulating tape fully around the leads of the resistor to
prevent electrical shock.
