Otherwise,
it can not be reset to the other.
When you replace the Main PCB be sure to perform the initial settings after achieving the Adjustment, by ordering the following procedure in accordance with model suffix.
Step 1. The temporary cancellation of factory setting:
Set the mode dial to “[ P ]”.
While keep pressing [ Optical Image Stabilizer ] and “[ UP ] of Cross key” simultaneously, turn the Power on.
Step 2. The cancellation of factory setting:
Set the mode dial to “[ Playback ]”.
While keep pressing [ Optical Image Stabilizer ] and “[ UP ] of Cross key” simultaneously, turn the Power on.
Step 3. Turn the Power on:
Set the mode dial to “[ P ]”, and then turn the Power on.

Error Code Memory Function
1. General description
This unit is equipped with history of error code memory function, and can be memorized 32 error codes in sequence from the latest. When the error is occurred more than 32, oldest error is overwritten in sequence.
The error code is not memorized when the power supply is shut down forcibly (when the unit is powered on by the battery, the battery is pulled out) because the error code is memorized to FLASH ROM when the unit is powered off.
2. How to display
The error code can be displayed by the following procedure:
Before perform the error code memory function, connect the AC adaptor or insert the battery, and insert the SD card.
# 1. The temporary cancellation of factory setting:
Set the mode dial to “[ P ]”.
While pressing [ Optical Image Stabilizer Button ] and “[ UP ] of Cross key” simultaneously and hold them, turn the Power on.
# 2. The display of error code:
Press [ Optical Image Stabilizer Button ], [ MENU ] and “[ LEFT ] of Cross key” simultaneously with the step 1 condition.
The display is changed as shown below when the above buttons is pressed simultaneously.

The change of display:
The error code can be memorized 32 error codes in sequence, however it is displayed 5 errors on the LCD.
Display can be changed by the following procedure:
“[ UP ] or [ DOWN ] of Cross key” : It can be scroll up or down one.
“[ LEFT ] or [ RIGHT ] of Cross key” : It can be display last 5 error or another 5 error.

Confirmation
of Firmware Version
The Firmware version can be confirmed by ordering the following steps:.
Step 1. The temporary cancellation of factory setting:
Set the mode dial to “[ P ]”.
While keep pressing [ Optical Image Stabilizer ] and “[ UP ] of Cross key” simultaneously. turn the power on with inserting the SD
memory card which has a few photo data.
Step 2. Confirm the version:

How
to Discharge the Capacitor on Flash PCB
CAUTION:
1. Be sure to discharge the capacitor on FLASH PCB.
2. Be careful of the high voltage circuit on FLASH PCB when servicing.
Discharging Procedure
1. Refer to the disassemble procedure and Remove the necessary parts/unit.
2. Put the insulation tube onto the lead part of Resistor (ERG5SJ102:1kOhm /5W). (an equivalent type of resistor may be used.)
3. Put the resistor between both terminals of capacitor on FLASH PCB for approx. 5 seconds.
4. After discharging confirm that the capacitor voltage is lower than 10V using a voltmeter.
