PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PhotoPC 700
Chapter1 Product Description
1.1 FEATURES
PhotoPC700 is a compact and high performance digital camera equipped with total 1300K
pixels(available pixels 1200K) and built in Color LCD view monitor. Most of the parts are same as
those of PhotoPC600. Therefore, since this manual mentions only newly added parts and
functions and different points from PhotoPC600, refer to the Service Manual of PhotoPC600 for
other details.
High resolution color CCD applied
Optical size: 1/2.7 inch color area
Total Pixels: 1343(H) x972(V)
Available Pixels: 1290(H) x 966(V), 24 bit output
Unlike PhotoPC and PhotoPC500, since JPEG compression is performed on the circuit,
processing time after shooting is quite shortened.
Back-up function by capacitor for Date and Time setting is added.
In the PhotoPC600, the date and time setting is cleared when the battery energy runs out without
connecting AC adapter, since the back-up battery is not built in. However, in the PhotoPC700, the
setting data can be maintained more than 30 minutes since the capacitor with large capacity is
built on the SY1 board.
High serial interface is built in.
Data transmission speed is maximum 230Kbps. (However, serial communication speed at PC
side requires more than 19200bps)
White Balance: Auto white balance +Fixed white balance
Exposure Control: Program auto exposure + Manual adjustment
4MB Flash Memory Standard is built.(Compact flash memory cards are available)
Picture Size: 1280 x 960, 640 x 480, 1280 x 480(Panorama)
Viewfinder: Optical real image view finder
Shooting Mode: Digital two-times zoom, Panorama, Continuous shooting, Black and
White.
Direct print function: Direct printing is available just by connecting the camera and
printer(EPSON Stylus Photo, EPSON Stylus Photo700,
ESPSON Stylus Photo EX, EPSON Stylus Color 800, EPSON Stylus
Color600) and downloading exclusive utility to the camera without
using PC.

Manual exposure adjustment is available(±2)
Viewfinder: Optical real image view finder (View range80%)
Flash Range: 0.2m - 2.4m
CAUTION
Shooting within 0.2m at macro mode with flash light will be overexposure. Therefore, take enough light from outside when shooting.

the table above is just average number, therefore, actual number
does not reach to that average number in some cases, depending on

OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Operating principles of PhotoPC700 is same as those of PhotoPC600. Therefore, refer to Chapter
2 on the Service Manual of PhotoPC600 for more details. Although there is no changes about
operating principles, since each board is used exclusively for PhotoPC700, be careful not to order
the parts of PhotoPC600.
2.1 OVERVIEW
Here lists only changed or different parts from PhotoPC600.
Back-up system for date and time setting is applied.
It is possible to retain date and time setting data for 30 minutes (30 minute on the
specification, but actually approx. 60 minutes) by the super capacitor on the SY1 board.
Battery life is extended, since the channel of power controller(IC311) on the ST1 board is
divided fine according to each elements.
2 out of 4 flash memories on the CA2 board are completely determined as exclusive area
for up-loading data program.
Although AGC/CDS are controlled by independent ICs respectively on the CA1 board in
case of PhotoPC600, those ICs became one-chip in PhotoPC700.

DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY
Since the board component of PhotoPC700 is same as that of PhotoPC600, procedures for
disassembly and assembly are also same. However, since the soldering locations of lead wires
between boards are changed more or less, be sure to solder those wires correctly as they were
connected before.
Also, since adjustment items for PhotoPC700 are different from those of PhotoPC600, make sure
to perform corresponding adjustments by referring to Table4-1 and Chapter5. Only different
points, compared with PhotoPC600 are listed in this chapter.

removing or exchanging Lens Unit, CCD or Optical filter.
1)5100K AWB. AGC Adjustment Values
2)Flange back Adjustment Values
3)Color Adjustment values
4)Available area for storing image data
Therefore, it is necessary to input all adjustment values except 4) mentioned above after
initialization is done.
1. Perform 1 to 3 procedures in section 5.1.1, and execute the adjustment program.
2. Following screen should be indicated.
Button for Initialization

3. Press Initialize button.
4. Since the screen to confirm the selection appears, press Y(Yes).
5. Initialization starts. After approximately 14 seconds of communication, although the screen
shows “Complete”, communication between PC and camera still lasts another 5 seconds.
Therefore, do not pull out the communication cables and also do not turn off the camera and
adjustment program until the communication display(★moves during processing) on the LCD
screen completely stops.
CAUTION
In order to acknowledge that initialization is completely done, do not
follow the indication on the screen but check that communication
display on the LCD screen(★★ movement) of the camera completely
stops, then go to the next procedure. If other operation is done in the
middle of communication, various adjustment values will remain
defective and give bad influence on the camera function.

5.1.4 5100K AWB. AGC Adjustment
Here explains procedures how to input the values of auto white balance and auto gain controller.
This adjustment enables camera to automatically memorize color temperature, which is input
when the user emits light for flash. Since these adjustment values to input in this section are
stored with image data in the flash memory of the CA2 board, it is necessary to perform this
adjustment after performing initialization.
CAUTION
1. Turn on color viewer and leave it for 10 minutes until brightness settles. At this time, set the
volume of the color viewer to the maximum toward right direction.
2. Perform 1 to 3 procedures in section 5.1.1, and execute the adjustment program.
Perform section5.1.2 “Initialization” before performing this adjustment.
CAUTION

CAUTION
If AGC=241 is indicated, it is error. In this case, it is necessary to
perform adjustment again. If 241 is indicated again after the readjustment, it is necessary to replace CA1, CA2 boards, or CCD.
Values for Rg and Bg should be within from 200 to 400 respectively.
If their values are out of this range, same as above, it is necessary to
replace CA1, CA2 boards or CCD.

AGC±0 (24): 36
AGC−1 (14): 20
12. Be sure that the value of AGC ±0 value is within 15 to 100. (36 in the example above)
The value of AGC = 15∼100
13. Input 4 numbers, which are changed to decimal number in procedure 11 above, into the
following 3 formulas, and be sure that each calculated value is within the following range.
Formula 1: (AGC+2) / (AGC+1)= Approximately 1.5(from the example above)
Formula 2: (AGC+1) / (AGC±0)= Approximately 1.7(from the example above)
Formula 3: (AGC±0) / (AGC−1)= 1.8(from the example above)
(AGC+2)/(AGC+1) = 1.1∼2.8
(AGC+1)/(AGC±0) = 1.1∼2.8
(AGC±0)/(AGC−1) = 1.1∼2.8
CAUTION
If each calculated value is not within the range above, adjust them
again. Also, if re-adjusted values are not within the rage again,
exchange CA1, CA2 boards or CCD.
5.1.5 Flange-Back Adjustment
Here explains adjustment procedure to input a flange-back value. This adjustment adjusts focus to
the subject (Siemens star chart), which is located a certain distance away from the camera, and
stores that value as standard value. This adjustment should be done when replacing the lens unit,
CCD and CA2 board. Also, even when the lens unit, CCD or optical unit is disassembled and
assembled, this adjustment should be performed.
CAUTION
1. Perform 1 to 3 procedures in section 5.1.1, and execute the adjustment program.
Be sure to perform section 5.1.2 “Initialization” before starting this
adjustment. Also, make sure to perform section 5.1.4 “5100K AWB
