Difficult to adjust focus
(Cannot initialize focus).

Inspect the lens block focus reset sensor (pin 8 of CN5401 on the 
VC-611 (F) /(H) board) when focusing is performed when the focus 
button is pressed in the focus manual mode, and the focus motor drive 
circuit (IC5401 on the VC-611 (F) /(H) board) when the focusing is 
not performed.

lever is operated, or the zoom motor drive circuit (IC5401 on the VC-

Battery current value goes over the max 
discharge current.

Check the remaining battery power because this symptom may be 
depended on the remaining battery level, and confirm whether or not 
the symptom is occurred after replacing the battery. If the symptom 
is still occurred, overhaul inspection is needed. Check each output of  
DC-DC converter (IC4701) on the VC-611 (F) /(H) board with the AC 
adaptor connected to DC JACK (J901) on the VC-611 (F) /(H) board.
