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.

Cut and remove the part of gilt which comes off at the point. (Be careful or some pieces of gilt may be left inside)

[Discharging of the ST-62 board’s charging capacitor (C1003)]

The charging capacitor (C1003) of the ST-62 board 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 unit is simply turned off. Therefore, the remaining voltage must be discharged as described below.

Preparing the Short Jig

T o 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 prevent 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.

Notes

•

The battery life and number of images will be decreased if you use your camera at low temperatures, use the flash, repeatedly turn the power on/off or use the zoom.

•

The capacity of the “Memory Stick” is limited. The figures in the table are a guide when you continuously record/play back while replaci ng the “Memory Stick.”

•

“----” appears in the display window until the battery usable time is calculated.

•

During charging, the indicators in the display window may not appear correctl y or may flash in the following cases.

— When the battery pack is not installed correctly. — When the battery pack has malf unctioned.

•

When you turn the LCD screen on and off, it takes about one minute for the correct batter y remaining time to appear.

•

If the power may go off although the battery remaining indicator indicates th at the battery pack has enough power to operate, charge the battery pack fully again so that the indica tion on the battery remaining indicato r is correct.

•

Use the AC power adaptor near the wall outlet (mains). If any trouble occurs while using the camera, immediately unplug the power cord from the wall outlet (mains) to cut off the power.

•

Do not short the DC plug of the AC power adaptor with a metallic object, as this may cause malfunction.

•

Do not expose the battery pack to water.

•

When the battery pack will not be used for a long time, charge the ba ttery pack once fully, and use it in PLAY mode until it completely discharges. Keep the battery pack in a cool place.

•

Battery life will be shorter when you record with the LCD screen ON. We recommend that you turn the LCD screen OFF.

On “Memory Sticks”

“Memory Stick” is a new compact, portable and versatile IC recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds a floppy disk. “Memory Stick” is specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data among “Memory Stick” compatible products . Because it is removable, “Memory Stick” can also be used for external data storage.

There are two types of “Memory Sticks”: general “Memory Sticks” and “MagicGate Memory Sticks” that are equipped with the MagicGate* copyright protection technology. You can use both types of “Memory Stick” with your camera. However, because your camera does not support the MagicGate standards, data recorded with your camera is not subject to MagicGate copyright protection.
