SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
Self-diagnosis Function
When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagnosis function starts working, and displays on the LCD screen what to do.
Self-diagnosis Function
When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagnosis function starts working, and displays on the LCD screen what to do.
Self-diagnosis Display
When problems occur while the unit is operating, the LCD screen shows a 4-digit display consisting of an alphabet and numbers, which blinks at 3.2 Hz. This 5-character display indicates the “repaired by:”, “block” in which the problem occurred, and “detailed code” of the problem.

Abnormality when flash is being charged.
Causes
Checking of flash unit or replacement of flash unit. (Note)
FIXING FLASH ERROR
When “FLASH error” (Self-diagnosis Code E : 91 : 01) occurs, to prevent any abnormal situation caused by high voltage, setting of the flash is changed automatically to disabling charge and flash setting.
After fixing, this setting needs to be deactivated. Flash error code can be initialized by the operations on the HOME screen.

Initializes the setting to the default setting. Even if you execute this function, the images stored in the internal memory are retained.
1. Select [Initialize] with UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT, then press ENTER.
The message “Initialize all settings” appears.
2. Select [OK] with UP, then press ENTER.
The settings are reset to the default setting.
To cancel the resetting
Select [Cancel] in step 2, then press ENTER.

Make sure that the power is not disconnected during resetting.
COPYING OR ERASING THE DATA IN INTERNAL MEMORY
The data can be copied/erased by the operations on the HOME screen. (When erasing the data, execute formatting the internal memory.)
Note: When replacing the SY-177 board, erase the data in internal memory of the board before replacement.

# Use a fully charged battery pack. If you attempt to copy image files using a battery pack with little remaining charge, the battery pack may run out, causing copying to fail or possibly corrupting the data.
# You cannot copy individual images.
# The original images in the internal memory are retained even after copying. To delete the contents of the internal memory, remove the “Memory Stick Duo” after copying, then execute the [Format] command in
[ Internal Memory Tool].
# When you copy the data in the internal memory to the “Memory Stick Duo”, all the data will be copied. You cannot choose a specific folder on the “Memory Stick Duo” as the destination for the data to be copied.

WRITE DATA TO INTERNAL MEMORY
Usually, the camera has been set so as to disable the data writing from the PC to the internal memory of the camera.
This setting must be changed temporarily when the data is to be written to the internal memory such as a case after the board replacement.
To change the setting, use the write enable tool “WriteEnableTool”.
Data writing method
1) Connect the PC to the camera (USB mode: Mass Storage), and switch the driver to the “Sony Seus USB Driver”.
2) Start the Write Enable Tool and the SeusEX.
3) Click the button of the Write Enable Tool.
