When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagnosis
function starts working, and displays on the viewfinder or LCD
window what to do. This function consists of two display; self-
diagnosis display and service mode display.
Details of the self-diagnosis functions are provided in the Instruction
manual.

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the counter of the
viewfinder or LCD window 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.

By rotating the control dial, past self-diagnosis codes will be shown in order. The backup No. in the [      ] indicates the order in which the
problem occurred. (If the number of problems which occurred is less than 6, only the number of problems which occurred will be shown.)
[1] : Occurred first time

[4] : Occurred fourth time

[2] : Occurred second time

[5] : Occurred fifth time

[3] : Occurred third time

[6] : Occurred the last time

Turning OFF the power supply will end the service mode display.

The self-diagnosis display data will be backed up by the coin-type lithium battery. When this coin-type lithium battery is disconnected,
the self-diagnosis data will be lost by initialization.

Phase fault during normal drum operations

Difficult to adjust focus
(Cannot initialize focus.)

Zoom operations fault
(Cannot initialize zoom lens.)

Handshake correction function does not
work well.(With pitch angular velocity
sensor output stopped)

Handshake correction function does not
work well.(With yaw angular velocity sensor
output stopped)

Remove the battery or power cable, connect, and perform operations from the
beginning.

Inspect the lens block focus reset sensor (Pin !ª of CN113 of VC-190 board)
when focusing is performed when the focus dial is rotated in the focus manual
mode and the focus motor drive circuit (IC252, IC255 of VC-190 board) when
the focusing is not performed.

Inspect the lens block zoom reset sensor (Pin @¡ of CN113 of VC-190 board)
when zooming is performed when the zoom lens is operated and the zoom motor
drive circuit (IC252, 255 of VC190 board) when zooming is not performed.

Inspect pitch angular velocity sensor (SE452 of SE-61 board) peripheral circuits.

Inspect yaw angular velocity sensor (SE451 of SE-61 board) peripheral circuits.
