1-6. PROCESS AFTER FIXING FLASH ERROR
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.
