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.

Self-diagnosis Code

Repaired by:

Correction

Inspect the zoom MR sensor of lens block (Pin w;, wa of CN5301
on the LD-221 board) when zooming is performed when the zoom
switch is operated and the zoom motor drive circuit (IC5404 on
the LD-221 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 (SE7202 on the CM-077
board) peripheral circuits.

Inspect yaw angular velocity sensor (SE7201 on the CM-077
board) peripheral circuits.

Refer to [1-7-1. E : 62 : 02 (Abnormality of IC for Steadyshot)
Occurred].

Inspect the steadyshot circuit (IC5703 on the LD-221 board).

Refer to [1-7-2. E : 62 : 10 (Shift Lens Initializing Failure)
Occurred].

Refer to [1-7-3. E : 62 : 11 (Shift Lens Overheating (Pitch))
Occurred].

Refer to [1-7-4. E : 62 : 12 (Shift Lens Overheating (Yaw))
Occurred].

Refer to [1-7-5. E : 62 : 20 (Abnormality of Thermistor)
Occurred].

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.

Procedure

1

Turn the power OFF.

2

While measuring with an oscilloscope the output voltage of R5792 in the periphery of IC5703 on the LD-221 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 (IC1801 of VC-500 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.
