SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!! COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0 OR DOTTED LINE WITH MARK 0 ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS AND IN THE PARTS LIST ARE CRITICAL TO SAFE OPERATION. REPLACE THESE COMPONENTS WITH SONY PARTS WHOSE PART NUMBERS APPEAR AS SHOWN IN THIS MANUAL OR IN SUPPLEMENTS PUBLISHED BY SONY.

ATTENTION AU COMPOSANT AYANT RAPPORT À LA SÉCURITÉ! LES COMPOSANTS IDENTIFÉS PAR UNE MARQUE 0 SUR LES DIAGRAMMES SCHÉMATIQUES ET LA LISTE DES PIÈCES SONT CRITIQUES POUR LA SÉCURITÉ DE FONCTIONNEMENT. NE REMPLACER CES COMPOSANTS QUE PAR DES PIÈSES SONY DONT LES NUMÉROS SONT DONNÉS DANS CE MANUEL OU DANS LES SUPPÉMENTS PUBLIÉS PAR SONY.

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 connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes and bridges. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are "pinched" or contact high-wattage resistors. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement. Look for parts which, through functioning, show obvious signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement. Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified. FLEXIBLE Circuit Board Repairing · Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270°C during repairing. · Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the circuit board (within 3 times). · Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering or unsoldering. Unleaded solder Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the leadfree mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead. (Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with the lead free mark due to their particular size.)

: LEAD FREE MARK Unleaded 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 be applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time. Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to about 350°C. Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful! · Strong viscosity Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky, less prone to flow) than ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges occur such as on IC pins, etc. · Usable with ordinary solder It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may also be added to ordinary solder.

1. SERVICE NOTE
1-1. PROCESS AFTER FIXING FLASH ERROR
Method for Initializing the Flash Error
Initialize
Initializes the setting to the default setting.
OK Cancel
See the following procedure. Cancels the resetting.

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.

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
Copy
Copies all images in the internal memory to a "Memory Stick Duo".
OK Cancel
See the following procedure. Cancels the copying.

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.

Copying 102_COPY

· Use batteries with enough capacity or the AC Adaptor (not supplied). If you attempt to copy image files using batteries with little remaining charge, the batteries may run out, causing copying to fail or possibly corrupting the data. · You cannot copy individual images. · The original images in the internal memory are retained even after copying. To delete the contents of the internal 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.

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 .

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

OK Cancel

See the following procedure. Cancels the formatting.

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.
