There are two types of repair parts.
Type A : ENC03MA
Type B : ENC03MB
Type B : ENC03MB
Replace the broken sensor with a same type sensor. If replace with

right during hand-shake correction operations.
Precautions on Angular Velocity Sensor
The sensor incorporates a precision oscillator. Handle it with care
as if it dropped, the balance of the oscillator will be disrupted and
operations will not be performed properly.
