Manual features to photo-shooting situationsAfter you are familiar with your camera, let’s shoot an image in various situations with some settings changed. This section describes some representative manual shooting examples.

Q: To shoot a portrait with its background blurred?

, Shooting with aperture priority mode (page 56)When you want to enhance the person with the background blurred, adjust the aperture manually. The more the aperture is opened (the aperture value becomes smaller), the narrower the focus is. The background is blurred accordingly.

Q: To shoot a portrait against light?

, Selecting a flash mode (page 68)Shooting a human subject in a bright place can create dim facial shadows. This occurs when the background is brighter than the person. In such cases, set the flash to (Forced flash). You can shoot both the person and the background clearly.

• You can use the flash within the reach of the flash light.

ffective use of the battery packBattery performance decreases in low-temperature surroundings. So, the time that the battery pack can be used is shorter in cold places. We recommend the following to ensure longer battery pack use:– Put the battery pack in a pocket close to

your body to warm it up, and insert it in your camera immediately before you start shooting.

Frequently operating the zoom or flash wears out the battery charge faster.We recommend having spare battery packs handy for two or three times the expected shooting time, and making trial shots before taking the actual shots.Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant.

1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-solderedconnections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashesand bridges.

2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are"pinched" or contact high-wattage resistors.

3. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularlytransistors, that were installed during a previous repair. Pointthem out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

4. Look for parts which, through functioning, show obvious signsof deterioration. Point them out to the customer andrecommend their replacement.

5. Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.6. Flexible Circuit Board Repairing

• Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270˚Cduring repairing.

• Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of thecircuit board (within 3 times).

• Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when solderingor unsoldering.

Unleaded solderBoards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the lead-free mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed withthe lead free mark due to their particular size.)

: LEAD FREE MARKUnleaded solder has the following characteristics.• Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40°C higher than

ordinary solder.Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to beapplied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time.Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set toabout 350°C.Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if theheated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!

• Strong viscosityUnleaded solder is more viscous (sticky, less prone to flow) thanordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges occur suchas on IC pins, etc.

• Usable with ordinary solderIt is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder mayalso be added to ordinary solder.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original service problem, perform the following

safety checks before releasing the set to the customer.

• Chip resistors are 1/10 W unless otherwise noted.kΩ=1000 Ω, MΩ=1000 kΩ.

• Caution when replacing chip parts.New parts must be attached after removal of chip.Be careful not to heat the minus side of tantalumcapacitor, Because it is damaged by the heat.

• Some chip part will be indicated as follows.Example C541 L452

22U 10UHTA A 2520

• Constants of resistors, capacitors, ICs and etc with XXindicate that they are not used.In such cases, the unused circuits may be indicated.

• Parts with * differ according to the model/destination.Refer to the mount table for each function.

• All variable and adjustable resistors have characteristiccurve B, unless otherwise noted.

• Signal nameXEDIT → EDIT PB/XREC → PB/REC

• 2: non flammable resistor• 5: fusible resistor• C: panel designation• A: B+ Line• B: B– Line• J : IN/OUT direction of (+,–) B LINE.• C: adjustment for repair.• A: VIDEO SIGNAL (ANALOG)• A: AUDIO SIGNAL (ANALOG)• A: VIDEO/AUDIO SIGNAL (ANALOG)• A: VIDEO/AUDIO/SERVO SIGNAL (ANALOG)• A: SERVO SIGNAL• Circled numbers refer to waveforms.(Measuring conditions voltage and waveform)• Voltages and waveforms are measured between the

measurement points and ground when camera shootscolor bar chart of pattern box. They are reference valuesand reference waveforms.(VOM of DC 10 MΩ input impedance is used)

• Voltage values change depending upon inputimpedance of VOM used.)

2-1. APPLICATION FOR ADJUSTMENT (SEUS)The application for adjustment (SEUS) is used for changing thecalculation coefficient in signal processing, EVR data, etc. The SEUSperforms bi-directional communication between the personalcomputer (PC) and the unit using the USB signal. The resultantdata of this bi-directional communication is written in the non-volatile memory.

2-1-1. Using Method of SEUSSwitch setting:

MS/CF ..................................................... MS (Memory stick)1. Connection1) Connect the HASP key to the USB port of the PC.2) Connect the camera to another USB port of the PC.3) Insert a memory stick to the camera.4) Confirm that the camera starts in the USB mode.5) Start the SEUS on the PC.6) Click [Connect] on the SEUS screen. If the connection is

normal, the SEUS screen will be as shown in Fig. 6-2-1,indicating the “connected” state.

Note: The SEUS will go in “disconnect” state, if the camera is turned off(for instance, by resetting the unit). In such a case, click [Connect]on the SEUS screen to restore the “connected” state.

2. Operation

• Page changeTo change the page, click [Page] on the SEUS screen and enterthe page to be changed. The page is displayed in hexadecimalnotation.

• Address changeTo change the address, click [Address] on the SEUS screenand enter the address to be changed. Or click [B] to increasethe address, click [b] to decrease the address. The address isdisplayed in hexadecimal notation.

• Data changeTo change the data, click [Set] on the SEUS screen and enterthe data. Or click [v] to increase the data, click [V] to decreasethe data. The data is displayed in hexadecimal notation.This operation does not write the data to the nonvolatilememory. If you want to write the changed data, click [Save] towrite it.

• Data savingTo write the all changed data to the nonvolatile memory,click [Save] on the SEUS screen. and wait for 2 sec.Note: Even if [Write] or [Store] on the SEUS screen is clicked, the

data can not be write to the nonvolatile memory.

• Data readingThe data displayed on the SEUS screen are the data values atthe time when the pages and addresses were set, and they arenot updated automatically. To check the data change, click[Read] on the SEUS screen and update the displayed data.

2-1-2. Precaution on Use of SEUSMishandling of the SEUS may erase the correct adjustment data attimes. To prevent this, it is recommended that all adjustment databe saved before beginning adjustments.

1) Click [Page Edit] on the SEUS screen.2) Click [Page], and enter the page number to be saved.3) Click [Read] to read the data to be saved from the camera.4) Click [File] and save the data to the PC.
