Power Supply
• Use only the special HR-3U rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries to power this camera. Use of any other type of battery
is not supported.
• This camera does not have separate batteries for the clock. The date and time settings of the camera are cleared whenever
power is totally cut off (from both the batteries and AC adaptor). Be sure to reconfigure these settings after power is interrupted.
LCD Panel
• The LCD panel is a product of the latest LCD manufacturing technology that provides a pixel yield of 99.99%. This means that
less than 0.01% of the total pixels are defective (they do not turn on or always remain turned on).
Lens
• You may sometimes notice some distortion in certain types of images, such as a slight bend in lines that should be straight. This
is due to the characteristics of lens, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera.

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.
1) Prepare the following three files.
• Common test driver for CASIO/PENTAX
[testmode_pentax_casio] folderuusbd.dll
uusbd.inf
uusbd.sys
• ADJ tool, USB DLL and ADJ setting file
[adj03SSAW] folderadj03SSAW.exe (ADJ tool itself)
uusbd.dll (USB DLL)
*.adt (ADJ setting file. Sorted by models)
* Place all files in the same folder.
2) Place the common test driver for CASIO/PENTAX 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 [MENU] and [DISP].
Press [>], [>] and [MENU].
2) Move the cursor to “3: USB TCC TEST” and press [SET].
3) Move the cursor to “1: USB TCC ON” and press [SET].
4) The USB test mode flag is now saved in the camera. Turn the power off.
5) When the USB test mode flag is ON, the test menu appears first when the camera power is turned on.
* When turning the USB test mode flag 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)”.
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.
— 13 —
Page 16
9) The file copy starts.
(If a message “uusbd.inf cannot be found” appears during the file copy, designate the same place as
in the step 7).
10) Press “Complete” button.
11) Right-click “My computer”, select “property”, and then open “Device manager”.
If “Universal USB Driver (VMEM manufacturer’s name)”,“USB device for UUSBD” can be found, the
computer has successfully recognized the driver.
12) The test driver can be used for both CASIO/PENTAX. Installing the test driver into either one enables
the other one to recognize it.
* How to uninstall the USB driver for the USB test mode
• Connect the camera to the computer while in the USB test mode so that the computer recognizes
the camera.
• Right-click “My computer”, select “Property” and open “Device manager”.
• Select “USB device for UUSBD” , and then “Universal USB Driver (VMEM manufacturer's name)”.
• Press “Delete” button to delete the driver.
• When using Windows98/98SE/Me, delete the following three files;
(NOTE! Do NOT delete “usbd.inf” and “usbd.sys”, whose names are much alike the following.)
1) Prepare ADJ tool, USB DLL and ADJ setting file in the same folder.
2) Turn the camera power on which is set in the USB test mode and let it enter the USB test mode directly
(the test menu appears right after the power is turned on).
3) Boot “adj03SSAW.exe” and use it as follows;
• To read ADJ data from the camera
앶앸 Press “READ ($9)”.
There is no need to set the model by “FW Item Set”.
• To write ADJ data into the camera
앶앸 Press “WRITE ($8)”.
• To save ADJ data which is read앶앸 Select “File” and “Save All ADJ”, and save it under an appropriate name.
• Open ADJ data which is saved
앶앸 1. Select the model by "FW Item Set", and then press "Load FW ->" button.
2. Select “File” and “Open”, and open the necessary file.

VCOM DC ADJUSTMENT
■ Purpose
Readjust the VCOM value to minimize the flicker of the LCD after replacing the LCD or the main PCB.
■ Necessary tools
1. Camera (Charge its battery fully)
2. Photo diode (S2281-01) : See Fig 1.
3. Photo sensor amp (C2719) : See Fig 2.
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)
www.hamamatsu.com/

1. Camera setting
a) Turn the power on while pressing MENU and DISP.
After pressing “Right” key twice, press MENU.
Figure (a) appears.
b) Select “8 : ADJ_TEST” and then press SET.
(See Figure (b).)
c) Next, select “1. LCD” and then press SET.
(See Figure (c).)
2. Connecting the TOOL
d) Pressing SET causes the right figure to appear.
(See Figure (d).)

CURRENT CONSUMPTION
(1) Current consumption (DC in = 3.70 ~ 4.05 [V])
• Make sure that current consumption is less than 250 mA in PLAY mode.
• Make sure that current consumption is less than 350 mA in REC mode.
• Make sure that current consumption is less than 0.5 mA when power is turned OFF.
(2) The battery indicator changes according to the voltages as follows.
• DC in = less than 3.68 ± 0.02V:(PLAY mode)
• DC in = less than 3.58 ± 0.02V:(PLAY mode)
• DC in = less than 3.43 ± 0.02V:(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 "7: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.
But the message, "SYSTEM ERROR", still appears on the monitor.
2. Write firmware.
Refer to the "1. To update the firmware version" on page 7.
Write the firmware.
