Points to notice for Disassembly / Assembly
Note:
① 
When disassembling/(re)assembling, be sure to use the conductive mat (J5033) and wrist strap (J5033-5)
for static protection of electrical parts.
② 
Before disassembling, be sure to remove batteries or AC power wires.
③ 
When disassembling, make sure to memorize the processing state of wires and FPC, screws to be xed
and their types, etc.     
④ Because the low pass lter of the imaging CCD PCB is easily damaged, handle it with enough care.
Points to notice for Lead-free solder products
 ・ Lead-free solder is used for this product.
 ・ For soldering work, the special solder and soldering iron are required.
 ・ Do NOT mix up lead-free solder with traditional solder.
WARNING
Due to an internal high voltage area,
take extra care not to
get an electric shock when detaching covers.
. After removing covers, be sure to discharge the main condenser according to the instructions of repair manuals
.
Note:
When "Seprating Front and Rear bodies","Disassembling Image PCB",and"Disassembling Bayonet",
be sure to perform"Reset of AF defocus compensation amount"by D2X adjustment software after reassembly.

Start up the inspection and adjustment software for D50 (J18385), and select "INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT FOR AECCD POSITION" then "CCD ALIGNMENT INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT".
  
Cover the camera with black cloth, when measured.
By following instructions on PC, make the position adjustment of

8. Summary
 The summary on each adjustment is as follows:
(1) Sensitivity adjustment
Face the camera to the color viewer of LV13 equiv. putting the ND lter (-5 step) between them, and make an adjustment by changing the ampgain so that G output can fall in the standard range. Adjust the gain value so that the G output average value (Average of Gr/Gb) in the center (300×300 pixels) can reach the target output level (approx. 600LSB). The actual adjustment of the gain value is made only under the condition of ISO200 and ISO1600, and the medium sensitivity is calculated by the adjustment values of these 2 conditions. For target output level, use the G output average of sensitivity reference value (ISO200) that was calculated by the reference body.
 (2) Gr/Gb compensation adjustment (R/B lter)
Face the camera to the light-emitting box (color viewer) of LV13 equiv. putting the SP3 (R lter)/SP1 (B lter) between them, and make an adjustment so that the output difference in G output average between G-B line and G-R line when the whole screen is divided into areas can fall in the standard range.
 (3) Sensitivity ratio adjustment
Face the camera to the color viewer of LV13 equiv., and make an adjustment so that the R/G, B/G output becomes the same as the output ratio of the sensitivity ratio reference value that was calculated by the reference body. Adjust only under the condition of ISO200, and use the average value of the center (300 pixels × 300 pixels).
(4) Gr/Gb compensation inspection (No lter) None
 (5) CCD black point defect compensation
When pixels of which the output level is under specied value with LV13 equiv., are detected, rewrite the coordinates of the detected pixels as pixel defect compensation data.
 (6) CCD white point defect compensation
Take a shot on the dark surface. In case the pixel output is found to be beyond the standard value, store the detected pixel coordinate as the pixel defect compensation data.
 (7) "Sensitivity" and "Sensitivity ratio" reference values calculation   ・Sensitivity reference value calculation
By using the reference body, face the camera to the color viewer of LV13 equiv. putting the ND lter (-5 step) between them. Then, store the G output average value of the center (300 pixels × 300 pixels) in the STD.DAT le as the sensitivity reference value.
  ・Sensitivity ratio reference value calculation
By using the reference body, face the camera to the color viewer of LV 13 equiv. (without lter). Then, calculate the sensitivity ratio reference value GR and GB based on the G/R/B output average of the center (300 pixels × 300 pixels), and store them in the STD.DAT le.
It is necessary to calculate the reference values of "Sensitivity" and "Sensitivity ratio" in order to prevent the color temperature uctuation caused by color viewer's changes over time from affecting the results of the shooting image adjustment. By using the reference body, calculate the reference values once in about every 3 months, when the uorescent of the color viewer is replaced.

9. Procedure
9-1. Shooting image adjustment
 ● Calculate the "Sensitivity" and "Sensitivity ratio" reference values by using D50 reference body
beforehand, then perform the adjustments. (ref. 9-5.)
 ● For the shooting image adjustment from (1) to (3), perform all of them in this order. The adjustments from
(1) through (3) are all programmed to be executed in serial order. When (1) is completed, the software automatically goes on to the next adjustment.
 ● In case adjustments are interrupted by NG, it is possible to continue the adjustments again after NG. As for
adjustments that were ended with OK, the storage of adjustment values into EEPROM and the ashram-up are completed.
Start adjustments
 ・Provide the power for the camera via AC adapter.  ・Reset "Custom setting".  ・Set "PTP" mode by Setup menu.  ・Set the focus mode to M, exposure mode to M, and the exposure compensation to "0" of the camera.  ・Connect the camera and PC via USB cable.  ・Set the color viewer luminance to LV13 equiv.

VBA12001-R.3668.A
9-2. Gr/Gb compensation inspection (No lter)
 ・Click "SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT" of the main menu on screen.  ・Attach the tool lens (Aperture F5.6) to the camera (without lter).  ・Get the camera closest to the center of the illuminated surface of the color viewer.  ・When the inspection is completed, the data is indicated twice and "Gr/Gb COMPENSATION INSP IS
GOOD." is displayed.
9-3. Pixel defect (black spots) compensation
 ・Set the color viewer luminance to LV13 equiv.  ・Provide the power for the camera via AC adapter.  ・Reset "Custom setting".  ・Set "PTP" mode by Setup menu.  ・Set the focus mode to M, exposure mode to M, and the exposure compensation to "0" of the camera.  ・Connect the camera and PC via USB cable.  ・Click "CCD BLACK POINT DEFECT COMPENSATION" of the menu on screen.  ・Attach the tool lens (Aperture F5.6) to the camera (without lter).  ・Get the camera closest to the center of the illuminated surface of the color viewer.  ・When the adjustment starts, pixel defects are detected, displaying the number of pixels and addresses.  ・After conrming the above, click "X" button.  ・When it is completed, "OK" is displayed.
9-4. Pixel defect (white spots) compensation
 ・Check the environmental temperature (approx. 20-25°C.).  ・Provide the power for the camera via AC adapter.  ・Reset "Custom setting".  ・Set "PTP" mode by Setup menu.  ・Set the focus mode to M, exposure mode to M, and the exposure compensation to "0" of the camera.  ・Connect the camera and PC via USB cable.  ・Click "CCD WHITE POINT DEFECT COMPENSATION" of the menu on screen.  ・Cap the camera with the body cap or lens cap to shield light from the mount.  ・When the adjustment starts, pixel defects are detected, displaying the number of pixels and addresses.  ・After conrming the above, click "X" button.  ・When it is completed, "OK" is displayed.
Note: In some cases, NG occurs due to dusts on the CCD.
Be sure to clean the CCD surface before adjustments.
