Note 1: After repair, be sure to perform “1-7. PROCESS AFTER FIXING FLASH ERROR”.
Note 2: Functions of codes with * mark are not provided in this unit.

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. 

Reset Flash Error using the Flash Error Repair Tool Ver_[].[].exe.
