2. Adjustment Procedures for Each Feature 1) Introduction to Adjustment You have to make adjustments for each feature after replacing an electronic item in the L830. The following table represents necessary adjustments for each item replacement. 1> Adjust for each feature after replacing an electronic item, referring to the following table.
Page 40
Ⅲ. ADJUSTMENT 3> Adjustment Program File For each of the adjustments, copy the program for each of the adjustments into the SD card. The file names for each adjustment are the same as"L383ADJ.txt". 4> Adjustment Flow Chart Insert the SD card for the corresponding adjustment. Turn the power on.
Page 41
Ⅲ. ADJUSTMENT 2) OB SETTING Conduct OB setting for Preview and Capture to assess the low signal level of the input signal in order to define a valid data range for low-luminance conditions. < Adjustment Procedures > a...Save the corresponding adjustment file into the SD card. b...Install the SD card containing the program file and turn the camera on.
Page 42
Ⅲ. ADJUSTMENT 3) LENS SHADING Adjusts the brightness of the edges of an image to compensate for the Lens Shading of the camera. Lenses tend to make the edges of an image darker than the rest. This phenomenon is called “Lens Shading”. This adjustment will increase the brightness of the edges of an image.
Page 43
Ⅲ. ADJUSTMENT 4) CCD DEFECT CELL You can compensate for any defective CCD pixels in the camera. < Adjustment Procedures > a...Copy the corresponding adjustment file into the SD card. b...Install the SD card containing the program file and turn the camera on. c...The adjustment is conducted automatically.
Page 44
Ⅲ. ADJUSTMENT 5) BACK LASH ADJ You can compensate for errors that occur when the lens barrel changes direction. < Adjustment Procedures > a...Copy the corresponding adjustment file into the SD card. b...Install the SD card containing the program file and turn the camera on. c...The adjustment is conducted automatically.
Page 45
Ⅲ. ADJUSTMENT 6) B/T LEVEL ADJ You can adjust the voltage threshold for the battery level indicator. < Adjustment Procedures > a...Prepare the power supply. b...Connect the power supply and the camera using the battery jig. c...Set the voltage to 2.71V. d...Save the corresponding adjustment file into the SD card.
Page 46
Ⅲ. ADJUSTMENT 7) SHUTTER CLOSE TIME ADJ You can adjust the close timing of the camera’s mechanical shutter. Compensate for a particular camera’s shutter timing deviation because each individual camera is different. < Adjustment Procedures > a...Prepare an AE Tester that supports LV of 16.0±0.1. b...Place the camera onto the AE Tester.
Page 47
Ⅲ. ADJUSTMENT 8) FLASH ADJ Limit range of brightness of the flash in order to identify hardware defects. Fires the flash at each EVC level - -1EV, 0EV, and 1EV - in order to identify cameras that are out of the permitted specification range, and acquires the R and B gain of the flash.
Page 48
Ⅲ. ADJUSTMENT 9) FOCUS ADJ Objective of Adjustment: To adjust PUNT after replacing the MAIN PCB or lens barrel. Required Equipment: Focus Adjustment Chart and Tripod < Adjustment Procedures > a...Put up the Focus Adjustment Chart. b...Install the camera on the tripod. c...Set the camera up so that the distance between the camera and the chart is 80cm.
Page 49
Ⅲ. ADJUSTMENT 10) BURNING TEST This is to detect hardware or software defects in a camera by repeated use of the camera functions. a...Save the Burning program into the SD card. b...Install the SD card containing the program file and turn the camera on. c...The camera functions will automatically run in the predetermined order.
Page 50
Ⅲ. ADJUSTMENT 11) EEPROM READ This reads the data saved in the EEPROM of the camera and writes the data as a data file. < Procedures > a...Save the adjustment program into the SD card b...Install the SD card containing the program file and turn the camera on. c...If you turn the power on, the camera automatically reads the data saved in the EEPROM and saves the data into the SD card as a file.
