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.

Correction

Inspect the zoom MR sensor of lens block (Pin ed, eg of CN5802
on the YY-003 board) when zooming is performed when the zoom
switch is operated and the zoom motor drive circuit (IC6004 on
the YY-003 board) when zooming is not performed.

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

Inspect pitch angular velocity sensor (SE8001 on the JJ-004
board) peripheral circuits.

Inspect yaw angular velocity sensor (SE8002 on the JJ-004
board) peripheral circuits.

Refer to [1-6-1. E : 62 : 02 (Abnormality of IC for Steadyshot)
Occurred].

Inspect the steadyshot circuit (IC6203 on the YY-003 board).

Refer to [1-6-2. E : 62 : 10 (Shift Lens Initializing Failure)
Occurred].

Refer to [1-6-3. E : 62 : 11 (Shift Lens Overheating (Pitch))

Procedure

1

Turn the power OFF.

2

While measuring with an oscilloscope the output voltage of R6233 in the periphery of IC6203 on the YY-003 board, turn the
power ON to check that the output voltage immediately after the power on change as shown in Fig. 2.

3

If the output voltage change as shown in Fig. 2, replace the lens block (Note). If it does not change as shown in Fig. 2, inspect
the camera control circuit (IC4201 of TT-003 board) periphery.

Note: When the lens block was replaced, execute a necessary adjustment items referring to Service Manual, ADJ.

After the adjustment, make sure with the STEADYSHOT turned ON that the steadyshot functions appropriately in the
handheld operation.

Note 1: Perform adjustment by referring to “SD Sensor Gradient Adjustment” in Service Manual, ADJ. After the adjustment, be

sure to perform “Optical Axis Adjustment” and “Angular Velocity Sensor Sensitivity Adjustment”.

Note 2: When the lens block was replaced, execute a necessary adjustment items referring to Service Manual, ADJ.

After the adjustment, make sure with the STEADYSHOT turned ON that the steadyshot functions appropriately in the
handheld operation.
