Retry turn the power on by the power switch. If it does not 
recover, check the focus reset sensor of lens block (pin 6 of

GPS hardware error

Check whether the coaxial cable of connected between AT-
039 board and RL-098 or RL-099 flexible board of connected 
between SY-254 board and RL-098 board is broken, and check 
whether it is inserted imperfectly. If there is no problem the 
coaxial cable or flexible board, inspect or replacement of the 
AT-039 or RL-098 board..

Note: After repair, be sure to perform “1-5. PROCESS AFTER 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 are retained.
