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.
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.

Make EEPROM data correct value.

Inspect the zoom MR sensor of lens drive block (Pin es, ef of
CN5002 on the VC-597 board) when zooming is performed when
the zoom switch is operated and the zoom motor drive circuit
(IC6001 on the VC-597 board) when zooming is not performed.

Check both C: 32: 60 and E: 61: 10 of the self-diagnosis code.

Turn on the power and set to T (telephoto) end by rotating the
ZOOM manual ring. While observing the iris blades in the lens,
turn on the power again and check the iris blades in the lens
work properly. Inspect the iris drive motor of lens drive block
(Pin qh to ql of CN5002 on the VC-597 board), when the iris
does not operate. Inspect the iris reset sensor of lens drive block

When replacing the VC-597 board, remove the EEPROM (IC4202) from the VC-597 board that is going to be repaired. Install the removed EEPROM

(IC4202) to the replaced VC-597 board.

• Make sure that the flat cable and flexible board are not cracked of bent at the terminal.

Do not insert the cable insufficiently nor crookedly.

• When remove a connector, don’t pull at wire of connector. It is possible that a wire is snapped.

• When installing a connector, don’t press down at wire of connector.

It is possible that a wire is snapped.

Cut and remove the part of gilt 
which comes off at the point.
(Be careful or some 
pieces of gilt may be left inside)
