DISASSEMBLY”.

Note2: When performing only the adjustments, the lens block and boards

need not be disassembled.

1)

Connect the equipment for adjustments according to Fig. 6-1-3.

Note4: As removing the FB-223 board (removing CN1008 of the VC-

379 board) means removing the lithium 3V power supply (BT8001
on the FB-223 board), data such as date, time, user-set menus will
be lost. After completing adjustments, reset these data.
But the self-diagnosis data and the data on history of use (total
drum rotation time etc.) will be kept even if the lithium 3V power
supply is removed. (Refer to “6-4.Service Mode” for the self-
diagnosis data and the data on history of use.)

Note5: Setting the “Forced Camera Power ON” Mode

1) Select page: 0, address: 01, and set data: 01.
2) Select page: A, address: 10, set data: 01, and press the PAUSE

button.

The above procedure will enable the camera power to be turned
on with the control switch block (PS11300) removed. After
completing adjustments, be sure to exit the “Forced Camera Power
ON Mode”. (Operate the camera functions using the touch panel.
When the control switch block (PS11300) is removed, the function
buttons of the adjustment remote commander are not effective even
if the HOLD switch of the adjustment remote commander is set to
the OFF position.)

Note6: Exiting the “Forced Camera Power ON” Mode

1) Select page: 0, address: 01, and set data: 01.
2) Select page: A, address: 10, set data: 00, and press the PAUSE

button.

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