SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!

COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0 OR DOTTED LINE WITHMARK 0 ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS AND IN THE PARTSLIST ARE CRITICAL TO SAFE OPERATION. REPLACE THESECOMPONENTS WITH SONY PARTS WHOSE PART NUMBERSAPPEAR AS SHOWN IN THIS MANUAL OR IN SUPPLEMENTSPUBLISHED BY SONY.

ATTENTION AU COMPOSANT AYANT RAPPORTÀ LA SÉCURITÉ!

LES COMPOSANTS IDENTIFÉS PAR UNE MARQUE 0 SUR LESDIAGRAMMES SCHÉMATIQUES ET LA LISTE DES PIÈCES SONTCRITIQUES POUR LA SÉCURITÉ DE FONCTIONNEMENT. NEREMPLACER CES COMPOSANTS QUE PAR DES PIÈSES SONYDONT LES NUMÉROS SONT DONNÉS DANS CE MANUEL OUDANS LES SUPPÉMENTS PUBLIÉS PAR SONY.

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.

CAUTIONDanger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

1. SERVICE NOTE

1-1. PROCESS AFTER FIXING FLASH ERROR

Method for Initializing the Flash Error

Initializes the setting to the default setting.

1 Select [OK] with v on the control button, then press z.The message “Initialize all settings Ready?” appears.

2 Select [OK] with v, then press z.The settings are reset to the default setting.

• Make sure that the power is not disconnected during resetting.

Initialize

OK See the following procedure.

Cancel Cancels the resetting.

Copies all images in the internal memory to a “Memory Stick Duo”.

1 Insert a “Memory Stick Duo” having 16 MB or larger capacity.2 Select [OK] with v on the control button, then press z.

The message “All data in internal memory will be copied Ready?” appears.

3 Select [OK] with v, then press z.Copying starts.

Copy

OK See the following procedure.

Cancel Cancels the copying.

Copying102_COPY

Use batteries with enough capacity or the AC Adaptor (not supplied). If you attempt to copy image filesusing batteries with little remaining charge, the batteries may run out, causing copying to fail or possiblycorrupting the data.You cannot copy individual images.The original images in the internal memory are retained even after copying. To delete the contents of theinternal memory, remove the “Memory Stick Duo” after copying, then execute the [Format ] command in Internal Memory Tool.You cannot select a folder copied on a “Memory Stick Duo ”.The setting of (Print order)marks is not copied even when you copy data.

•

••

••

1-2. METHOD FOR COPYING OR ERASING THE DATA IN INTERNAL MEMORY

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

Note: When replacing the camera, erase the data in internal memory of the board before replacement.

Method for Copying the Data in Internal Memory

Method for Formatting the Internal Memory

This item does not appear when a “Memory Stick Duo” is inserted in the camera.The default settings are marked with .

Formats the internal memory.• Note that formatting irrevocably erases all data in the internal memory, including even protected images.

1 Select [OK] with v on the control button, then press z.The message “All data in internal memory will be erased Ready?” appears.

2 Select [OK] with v, then press z.The format is complete.

Format

OK See the following procedure.

Cancel Cancels the formatting.
