 SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer.

1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered UNLEADED SOLDER
connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes This unit uses unleaded solder.

• Be sure to control soldering iron tips used for unleaded solder and
those for leaded solder so they are managed separately. Mixing un-
leaded solder and leaded solder will cause detachment phenomenon.

Make sure that the conductive side of a flexible board does not have any stain or foreign materials.
Do not touch the conductive side of flexible boards with bare hands.

• The proper way to connect a connector is to grab the connector

instead of the wires. If you push on the wires, they might be
broken.

2-2. DISCHARGING OF THE FLASH CAPACITOR

The charging capacitor for the flash has been charged at high voltage.
Therefore, there is a possibility of an electric shock if you directly handle this capacitor.
The high-voltage charge will not be discharged by simply turning off the unit’s power.
Make sure any remaining voltage is discharged by short-circuiting the flash capacitor with a Short Jig.

Preparing the Short Jig

Make a Short Jig by connecting a small clip to each lead of a resistor with a rated value of approximately 1 kΩ /1 W.
In order to prevent an electric shock, wrap insulating tape completely around the resistor and its leads.
Resistor with a rated value of approximately
1 kΩ/1 W (Part No. 1-215-869-11).

Wrap insulating tape completely

around the resistor and its leads.

2-3. METHOD FOR COPYING OR ERASING THE DATA IN INTERNAL MEMORY

The data can be copied/erased by the operations on the MENU screen. (When erasing the data, execute formatting the internal memory.)

Note 1:When replacing the Main Board Assy, erase the data in internal memory of the board before replacement.
Note 2:When replacing the Main Board Assy, execute formatting and initialize the internal memory after replacement.

Method for Copying the Data in Internal Memory

Copy

Copies all images in the internal memory to a memory card.

1. Insert a memory card with sufficient free capacity into the camera.

2. MENU - (Settings) - (Memory Card Tool) - [Copy] - [OK] -

Note

Make sure there is sufficient battery power. Otherwise, the battery power may run out when you attempt to copy
image files, causing the copy to fail and possibly corrupt the data.
Images cannot be copied individually.
Original images in internal memory are retained even after copying. To delete contents of internal memory, remove
the memory card after copying, then format internal memory ([Format] in [Internal Memory Tool]).
A new folder is created on the memory card and all data will be copied to it. You cannot choose a specific folder
and copy images to it.

Method for Formatting the Internal Memory or Memory Card

Format

Formats the memory card.

When you use a memory card with this camera for the first time, it is recommended to format the card using the
camera for stable performance of the memory card before shooting. Note that formatting permanently erases all data
on the memory card, and is unrecoverable. Save precious data on a computer, etc.

1. MENU - (Settings) - (Memory Card Tool) or (Internal Memory Tool) - [Format] - [OK] -

Note

Note that formatting permanently erases all data including even protected images.
