1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-sol-

dered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder

splashes and bridges.

2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are

“pinched” or contact high-wattage resistors.

3. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transis-

tors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point them

out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

4. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs

of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recom-

mend 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 ˚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 sol-

dering or unsoldering.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original service problem, perform the following

safety checks before releasing the set to the customer.

UNLEADED SOLDER

Boards 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 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.

[Discharging of the FLASH unit’s charging capacitor]

The charging capacitor of the FLASH unit is charged up to the

maximum 300 V potential.

There is a danger of electric shock by this high voltage when the

battery is handled by hand. The electric shock is caused by the

charged voltage which is kept without discharging when the main

power of the MVC-FD100/FD200 is simply turned off. There-

fore, the remaining voltage must be discharged as described be-

low.

Preparing the Short Jig

To preparing the short jig. a small clip is attached to each end of a

resistor of 1 kΩ/1 W (1-215-869-11).

Wrap insulating tape fully around the leads of the resistor to pre-

vent electrical shock.

1 kΩ/1 W

Wrap insulating tape.

Discharging the Capacitor

Short-circuit between the positive and the negative terminals of

charged capacitor with the short jig about 10 seconds.

SERVICE NOTE

•NOTE FOR REPAIR

Make sure that the flat cable and flexible board are not cracked of

bent at the terminal.

Do not insert the cable insufficiently nor crookedly.

When remove a connector, don’t pull at wire of connector.

It is possible that a wire is snapped.

Cut and remove the part of gilt

which comes off at the point.

(Be careful or some pieces of

Tips

The digital still camera saves recorded images as digital data. The format of the

saved data is called as the file format. The formats that can be used with this

camera are as follows:

JPEG format

Most digital still cameras, operating systems of computers, and browser

software adopt this format. This format is able to compress files without

appreciable deterioration. However, if the image is compressed and saved on

repeated occasions, the image will deteriorate. This camera records still images

using the JPEG format for normal recording.

GIF format

Using this format, the image will not deteriorate even if the image is compressed

and saved on repeated occasions. This format limits the number of colors used

to 256 colors. This camera records still images using the GIF format in Clip

Motion (page 59) or TEXT mode (page 62).

TIFF format

Stores shooting images without compression, so the image does not deteriorate.

Most of operating systems and applications correspond to this format. This

camera records still images using the TIFF format for the TIFF mode (page 63).

MPEG format

This format is very typical for moving images. This camera records moving

images in the MPEG format during the recording.
