After correcting the original service problem, perform the following 
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer.

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

1.  Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered 

connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes and 
bridges.

2.  Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched” 

or contact high-wattage resistors.

3.  Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors, 

that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the 
customer and recommend their replacement.

4.  Look for parts which, through functioning, show obvious signs of 

deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend their 
replacement.

5.  Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.
6.  Flexible Circuit Board Repairing
 

•   Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 350°C during 

repairing.

 

•   Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the circuit 

board (within 3 times).

 

•   Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering or 

unsoldering.

This unit uses unleaded solder. 
Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the lead free 
mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.
(Caution:  Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with the 

lead free mark due to their particular size.)

Be careful to the following points to solder or unsolder.

•  Set the soldering iron tip temperature to 350°C approximately.
 

If cannot control temperature, solder/unsolder at high temperature 
for a short time.

 

Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the 

heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!

 

 

Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky, less prone to 
flow) than ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder 
bridges occur such as on IC pins, etc.

•  Be sure to control soldering iron tips used for unleaded solder and 

those for leaded solder so they are managed separately. Mixing un-
leaded solder and leaded solder will cause detachment phenomenon.

After repairing or inspecting with this model, perform [Initialize] and [Format] to erase the history of access to Web.
When performing [Initialize] and [Format], the customer’s setups are also reset. 
Therefore, when returning the repaired unit, print “Flyer” at the end of this volume and attach it to the unit.
For [Initialize], refer to the procedure below.
For [Format], refer to “1-3. METHOD FOR COPYING OR ERASING THE DATA IN INTERNAL MEMORY”.

Initializes the setting to the default setting.
Even if you execute this function, the images are retained.

1 Tap [MENU] 

t [Main Settings] t [Initialize] t 

[OK].

• Perform initialization after charging the camera to prevent the camera from turning off during the 

process.

• The following Wi-Fi connection settings are also initialized:

– Login information for each network service
– Wi-Fi access point information

In case of replacing the MAIN BOARD ASSY, it is necessary to erase the customer’s network setup data and login information data from the board 
to be replaced.
Thus, before replacing the board, perform [Initialize] and [Format].
For [Initialize], refer to “1-1. Note after repairing / inspecting”. 
For [Format], refer to “1-3. METHOD FOR COPYING OR ERASING THE DATA IN INTERNAL MEMORY”.

When replacing with a MAIN BOARD ASSY, implement the work below.
•  Perform the adjustments and Set Language Destination, referring to ADJUSTMENT Service Manual.
•  Search the access point as concise operation confirmation of wireless LAN.
•  Print “Flyer” at the end of this volume and attach it to the repaired unit. 

(Because the MAC address of the board is changed when the MAIN BOARD ASSY is replaced.)

The data can be copying/erased by the operations on the Setup screen. (When erasing the data, execute formatting the internal memory.) 

Note1:  When replacing Main Board Assy, erase the data in internal memory of the board before replacement.
Note2:  When replacing Main Board Assy, execute formatting and initialize the internal memory after replacement.

You can copy recorded images to a smartphone or tablet computer. Installing a suitable 
application (“PlayMemories Mobile”) for this purpose to the smartphone or tablet computer is 
required in advance.

1 Tap [MENU] 

t [View on Smartphone].

2 Tap [View password] and perform Wi-Fi setting on the smartphone, using 

the [SSID] and the [Password] shown.

3 Select and transfer the camera contents using the installed application on 

the smartphone.

Formats the internal memory.

1 Tap [MENU] 

t [Main Settings] t [Format] t 

[OK].

• Note that formatting permanently erases all data.
