When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagnosis
function starts working, and displays on the viewfinder or LCD
screen 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 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.

Correction

Inspect the lens block focus MR sensor (Pin ql, wa of CN3801 of
VC-419 board) when focusing is performed when the touch panel is
operated in the focus manual mode and the focus motor drive circuit
(IC3801 of VC-419 board) when the focusing is not performed.

Inspect the lens block zoom MR sensor (Pin qh, qk of CN3801 of
VC-419 board) when zooming is performed when the zoom switch
is operated and the zoom motor drive circuit (IC3801 of VC-419
board) when zooming is not performed.

Inspect the flexible board for breakage or loose connection.
If not faulty, inspect the focus and zoom motor drive circuit (IC3801
of VC-419 board).

Inspect pitch angular velocity sensor (SE401 of SI-054 board)
peripheral circuits.

Inspect yaw angular velocity sensor (SE402 of SI-054 board)
peripheral circuits.

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

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. Connect the adjustment remote commander (RM-95 or NEW LANC JIG) and perform the
following process.

Check the data changes to “01”.

Note: After repair, be sure to perform “1-6. PROCESS AFTER FIXING FLASH ERROR”.

When you replace to the repairing board, the written data of repairing board also might be changed to original setting.
When the data has changed because of board replaceing etc, check the data setting (Exif Model Data) is right. If not, rewrite to the right value.

Writing Method:
1) Select page: 0, address: 01 and set data: 01.
2) Select page: C, address: D2 to D4, and set the Exif Model Data.

Note: To write in the non-volatile memory (EEPROM), press the PAUSE (Write) button each time to set the data.

3) Select page: 0, address: 01, and set data: 00.

本機では，安定化電源（8.4Vdc）からバッテリ端子に電源を供給した場合，約10秒後にシャットオフし，動作しなくなります。

これを避けるため，下記の方法を用いてください。

方法：
DC入力端子を使用する。（ACアダプタ（AC-L25A/L25Bなど）を使用する。）
