2. How to restore the firmware
1. Prepare the firmware restoration program and change its name as follows;
EX-Z110: “rom807_051219.lbn” 씮 “titan.bin”
EX-Z120: “rom808_gm_05.lbn” 씮 “titan.bin”
NOTE: This software and procedure automatically restores the firmware even if the firmware belongs
to a wrong model code. Make sure to use the correct software for the correct model.
2. Copy the above file to the root directory in the memory card.
3. Insert the memory card into the camera.
4. Set a fully charged battery in the camera.
NOTE: This software and procedure automatically restores the firmware even if the battery capacity of
the camera is low. Make sure to use a fully charged battery to prevent the danger of power
down during firmware restoration.
5. Turn the power on while pressing the [shutter release] button.
If the power does not turn on only by pressing the power button, insert the battery while holding the
[shutter release] button depressed.
• The LED next to the optical viewfinder changes from “green/red blinking”, “green blinking” to “green
steady”.
NOTE: This software and procedure automatically restores the firmware even if the firmware belongs
to a wrong model code. Make sure to use the correct software for the correct mode.
6. When the LED becomes “green steady”, the firmware restoration is finished.
Remove the battery and the memory card, and then turn the power off.
7. Turn the power on again while holding [DISP] and [UPPER] depressed.
Check the model name and the program version (PR:) in the opening screen of the test menu.
++KX807++++KX808++
Ver 1.00Ver 1.00
8. If the model name and the program version are correct, perform SYSTEM INITIAL to initialize the
system area.
NOTE: After SYSTEM INITIAL is performed, “SYSTEM ERROR” appears when the power is turned
on again.
9. Write the latest firmware. (Refer to page 10)
After the firmware is written, check the model name and the program version (PR:) in the opening
screen of the test menu.
10. Finally, start the camera normally to check the operation by recording, playing back and deleting an
image. Check also that the colors in the images are not too bright or two dark.

Page 14
3. To install the firmware
Initially, firmware is not installed in the PCB supplied by the parts center.
Install the firmware into the PCB after replacing with a new one as shown in the procedures below.
Note: The camera does not operate (only LED becomes “green blinking”) if the firmware is not installed in
the PCB.
<Writing the restoration program 1>
1. Copy the following software to the root directly of the SD card.
2. Change the name as follows;
EX-Z110: “rom807_051219.lbn” to “titan.bin”
EX-Z120: “rom808_gm_05.lbn” to “titan.bin”
3. Insert the SD card into the camera.
4. Insert the battery while holding the [shutter release] button depressed.
The LED next to the optical viewfinder changes from “green/red blinking”, “green blinking” to “green
steady”.
5. When the LED becomes “green steady”, remove the battery and turn the power off.
<System Initialize>
1. Boot the test mode.
2. Press [DOWN] twice and then press [DISP], [MENU].
3. Select “3: ROM UPDATE” and then press [SET].
4. Select “5: SYSTEM INITIALIZE” and then press [SET].
5. When the following message appears, press [SET].
SYSTEM INITIALIZE
START….
PUSH OK KEY?
6. The system initialize is executed. Turn off the power when “SUCCESS” appears.
* “SYSTEM ERROR” appears when the camera is turned off without system initialize.
<Writing the firmware>
1. Turn the power on while holding [MENU] depressed.
2. When “PROGRAM UPDATE” appears, select “YES” and then press [SET].
3. “NOW LOADING” appears while the firmware is updated.
4. When “COMPLETE” appears, the firmware update is complete.
5. Turn the power on and off to check if the camera normally functions. If there is no problem, the firmware
update is successful.

ADJ TOOL
■ Introduction
Make sure to perform the adjustment by the USB ADJ Tool “adj03SSAW.exe” when replacing the lens unit
or the PCB.
Here the necessary software, driver and setting are explained to use “adj03SSAW.exe”.
Note that the tool, drivers etc. are available only for Windows.
1. Preparation
1-1. Prepare the necessary software, driver and DLL file.
2) Place the testmode driver in an appropriate place.
3) Place all of ADJ tool, USB DLL and ADJ setting file in the same folder.
1-2. Set the camera so that it recognizes the USB test mode.
1) Enter the test menu.
Turn the power on while pressing both [DISP] and [UPPER].
Press [DOWN], [DOWN], [DISP] and [MENU].
2) Move the cursor to “2: USB TCC TEST” and press [SET].
3) Move the cursor to “1: USB TCC ON” and press [RIGHT], [RIGHT] and [SET].
4) USB TCC ON is now active. Turn the power off.
5) The test menu appears first when the camera power is turned on.
* When changing the USB TCC ON to OFF, set “2: USB TCC OFF” in the test menu.
1-3. Install the USB driver for the USB test mode in the computer.
(The following is an example using the Windows Me.)
1) Prepare the USB driver for the USB test mode.
2) Turn the camera power on which is set in the USB test mode as shown in 1-2 and let it enter the USB
test mode directly (the test menu appears right after the power is turned on).
3) Connect the camera in the above status to the computer by the USB cable.
4) The “Add new hardware” wizard appears.
5) Check “Designate the place for the driver (for users with sufficient knowledge)” and press “Next”.
6) Check “Search for the optimum driver for the device (recommended)”.
— 13 —
Page 16
7) Check “Designate the place to search”, designate the place which contains “inf” file in the driver by
pressing “Reference” button, and then press “Next” button.
8) When “Universal USB Driver (VMEM manufacturer’s name)” appears upon message “Searching for
the driver file for the following devices”, press “Next” button.
9) The file copy starts.

4. BNC-BNC cable (E2573) x 2 : See Fig 3.
5. 9-volt alkaline battery (6LR61Y) x 2 : See Fig 4.
6. Oscilloscope
■ Preparation
1. The three tools can be obtained from the following global site.
Photo diode (S2281-01)
Photo sensor amp (C2719)
BNC-BNC cable (E2573)

3. Measurement
a) Connect S2281-01 to the camera’s LCD monitor (see below).
AC Waveforms appear on the monitor screen of the oscilloscope.
* Change the Rf range of C2719 in case the range does not match.

CURRENT CONSUMPTION
(1) Current consumption (DC in = 3.00 ± 0.05 [V])
■ EX-Z110
• Make sure that current consumption is less than 300 mA in PLAY mode.
• Make sure that current consumption is less than 400 mA in REC mode.
• Make sure that current consumption is less than 1.3 mA when power is turned OFF.
■ EX-Z120
• Make sure that current consumption is less than 210 mA in PLAY mode.
• Make sure that current consumption is less than 470 mA in REC mode.
• Make sure that current consumption is less than 1.3 mA when power is turned OFF.
(2) The battery indicator changes according to the voltages as follows.
■ EX-Z110
• DC in = less than 2.80 ± 0.02 V:
• DC in = less than 2.70 ± 0.02 V: (PLAY mode)
• DC in = less than 2.60 ± 0.02 V:
■ EX-Z120
• DC in = less than 2.85 ± 0.02 V: (PLAY mode)
• DC in = less than 2.77 ± 0.02 V: (PLAY mode)
• DC in = less than 2.66 ± 0.02 V: (PLAY mode)

THE COUNTERMEASURE FOR "SYSTEM ERROR"
System error may occur when the battery is removed while data is written to the internal memory.
■ PROCEDURE
1. Initialize the system.
a) Enter the TEST mode.
b) Select "3:ROM UPDATE" and press SET button.
c) Next, select "5:SYSTEM INITIAL" and press SET button.
d) The following message appears.
SYSTEM INITIALIZE
START ...
PUSH OK KEY?
e) Press SET button and System is initialized.
"SUCCESS !" appears on the monitor.
2. Write firmware.
Refer to the "1. To update the firmware version" on page 7.
Write the firmware.
If the TEST mode boots automatically, change "USB TCC ON" to "USB TCC OFF".
Replace the Main PCB if the camera does not recover.

■ Discharging
Condenser is the device to store electric energy. Hundreds of
high voltage is required when strobo emits light. It has a lot of risk
to get electric shocked if you touch the condenser when it stores
electric energy. Be sure to discharge the condenser, before start
of disassembling.
