WARNING
Do not use solder containing lead.
This product has been manufactured using lead-free solder in
order to help preserve the environment.
Because of this, be sure to use lead-free solder when carrying
out repair work, and never use solder containing lead.
Lead-free solder has a melting point that is 30 - 40°C (86 -
104°F) higher than solder containing lead, and moreover it does
not contain lead which attaches easily to other metals. As a
result, it does not melt as easily as solder containing lead, and
soldering will be more difficult even if the temperature of the
soldering iron is increased.
The extra difficulty in soldering means that soldering time will
increase and damage to the components or the circuit board
may easily occur.
Because of this, you should use a soldering iron and solder
that satisfy the following conditions when carrying out repair
work.
Soldering iron
Use a soldering iron which is 70 W or equivalent, and which
lets you adjust the tip temperature up to 450°C (842°F). It
should also have as good temperature recovery characteris-
tics as possible.
Set the temperature to 350°C (662°F) or less for chip compo-
nents, to 380°C (716°F) for lead wires and similar, and to 420°C
(788°F) when installing and removing shield plates.
The tip of the soldering iron should have a C-cut shape or a
driver shape so that it can contact the circuit board as flat or in
a line as much as possible.
Solder
Use solder with the metal content and composition ratio by
weight given in the table below. Do not use solders which do
not meet these conditions.
Lead-free solder is available for purchase as a service tool.
Use the following part number when ordering:
Part name: Lead-free solder with resin (0.5 mm dia., 500 g)
Part number: VJ8-0270
Metal content
Tin (Sn) Silver (Ag)
Copper (Cu)
Composition
ratio by weight
96.5 %
3.0 %

Note:
If replacing existing solder containing lead with lead-free sol-
der in the soldered parts of products that have been manufac-
tured up until now, remove all of the existing solder at those
parts before applying the lead-free solder.
The components designated by a symbol ( ! ) in this schematic diagram designates components whose value are of
special significance to product safety. Should any component designated by a symbol need to be replaced, use only the part
designated in the Parts List. Do not deviate from the resistance, wattage, and voltage ratings shown.

CMOS imager
CDS, AGC, ADC built-in
H driver, V driver, serial communication circuit built-in
2. IC911 (CMOS)
[Structure]
The electric charges which are generated when each pixel is
optically converted are in turn converted into signal voltages
by the FD amplifier, and they are then transmitted by the built-
in H driver and V driver. The signals are sampled and ampli-
fied by the CDS and PGA circuits at the point they are output,
and then they are AD converted and output. The output uses
the 12 bit LVDS interface.

1-2. CP1 and VF1 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
1. Circuit Description
1-1. Digital clamp
The optical black section extracts averaged values from the
subsequent data to make the black level of the sensor output
data uniform for each line. The optical black section averaged
value for each line is taken as the sum of the value for the
previous line multiplied by the coefficient k and the value for
the current line multiplied by the coefficient k-1.
1-2. Signal processor
1. γ correction circuit
This circuit performs (gamma) correction in order to maintain
a linear relationship between the light input to the camera and
the light output from the picture screen.
2. Color generation circuit
This circuit converts the image sensor into RGB signals.
3. Matrix circuit
This circuit generates the Y signals, R-Y signals and B-Y sig-
nals from the RGB signals.
4. Horizontal and vertical aperture circuit
This circuit is used gemerate the aperture signal.
1-3. AE/AWB and AF computing circuit
The AE/AWB carries out computation based on a 64-segment
screen, and the AF carries out computations based on a 6-
segment screen.
1-4. SDRAM controller
This circuit outputs address, RAS, CAS and CLOCK data for
controlling the SDRAM. It also refreshes the SDRAM.
1-5. PIO/PWM/SIO for LCD
It possible to switch between individual input/output and PWM
input/output.
1-6. TG/SG
Timing generated for image sensor control.
1-7. Digital encoder
It generates chroma signal from color difference signal.
2. Outline of Operation
When the shutter opens, the switch signal is input to ASIC and
CPU, and then operation starts. When the TG/SG drives the
image sensor, picture data is converted internally into a small-
amplitude actuating signal, and is then input to ASIC. The
data that is input to the ASIC is input to the SDRAM through
digital clamp.
The AF, AE, AWB, shutter, and AGC value are computed from
this data, and obtain the optimum picture. The data which has
already been stored in the SDRAM is read by the CPU and
color generation is carried out. Each pixel is interpolated from
the surrounding data as being either R, G, and B primary color
data to produce R, G and B data. At this time, correction of the
lens distortion which is a characteristic of wide-angle lenses is
carried out. After AWB and γ processing are carried out, a matrix
is generated and aperture correction is carried out for the Y
signal, and the data is then compressed by JPEG and is then
written to card memory (SD card).
When played back on the LCD and monitor, data is transferred
from memery to the SDRAM, and the image is then elongated
so that it is displayed over the SDRAM display area.
3. LCD Block
The LCD display circuit is located on the CP1 board, and
consists of components such as a power circuit.
The signals from the ASIC are 8-bit digital signals, that is
input to the LCD directly. The 8-bit digital signals are con-
verted to RGB signals inside the LCD driver circuit . This LCD
has a 3-wire serial, and functions such as the brightness and
image quality are controlled.
Because the LCD closes more as the difference in potential
between the VCOM (common polar voltage: AC) and the R,
G and B signals becomes greater, the display becomes darker;
if the difference in potential is smaller, the element opens and
the LCD become brighter.
In addition, the timing pulses for signals other than the video
signals are also input from the ASIC directory to the LCD.

5. Video Clip Recording and Playback
5-1. Recording
The signal from the camera block is input to IC101 (ASIC). The
data that is input to the ASIC is input to SDRAM, and converts
this data to encoded MPEG4 data, after which it is written in
sequence onto the SD card as streaming data. At this time,
the audio signals that are input to the built-in microphone are
converted into digital data by the audio CODEC IC of IC181,
and they are then input to ASIC. The audio data is then en-
coded (AAC), and then it is written in sequence onto the SD
card together as streaming data with the image signals de-
scribed above.
5-2. Playback
The data is read from the SD card, and the encoded data is
decoded into image data where it is displayed by the LCD or
on a TV monitor. At the same time, the audio data is also de-
coded, and is input to IC181 as digital data. D/A conversion is
carried out at IC181, and the sound is then output to the speaker
or to the LINE OUT terminal.
6. Audio CODEC Circuit (IC181)
The audio signals from the microphone are converted into 16-
bit digital data. AD conversion is carried out at a maximum
sampling frequency of 48 kHz.
During audio playback, the 16-bit digital data is converted into
analog signals and these are output to the speaker or line out
system. DA conversion is carried out at a maximum sampling
frequency of 48 kHz.

9. Power Supply Control
When the battery is attached, a AL3.2 V power is normally input to the power sequencer block, so that key scanning is carried out
even when the power switch is turned off, so that the camera can start up request again from user.
If the start up request is occured, the PON signal set to high, and then turns on the DC/DC converter.
In addition, the resetting of the CPU inside the ASIC is canceled. This causes all blocks and memories other than the power
sequencer of the ASIC to start operating.
When the power switch is turned off, the ASIC returns to the reset condition, all DC/DC converters are turned off and the power
supply to the whole system is halted.

1-4. ST1 STROBE CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
1. Charging Circuit
When UNREG power is supplied to the charge circuit and the
CHG signal from microprocessor becomes High (3.3 V), the
charging circuit starts operating and the main electorolytic
capacitor is charged with high-voltage direct current.
However, when the CHG signal is Low (0 V), the charging
circuit does not operate.
1-1. Charge switch
When the CHG signal switches to Hi, IC541 starts charging
operation.
1-2. Power supply filter
C5401 constitutes the power supply filter. They smooth out
ripples in the current which accompany the switching of the
oscillation transformer.
1-3. Oscillation circuit
This circuit generates an AC voltage (pulse) in order to in-
crease the UNREG power supply voltage when drops in cur-
rent occur. This circuit generates a drive pulse with a frequency
of approximately 200-300 kHz, and drive the oscillation trans-
former.
1-4. Oscillation transformer
The low-voltage alternating current which is generated by the
oscillation control circuit is converted to a high-voltage alter-
nating current by the oscillation transformer.
1-5. Rectifier circuit
The high-voltage alternating current which is generated at
the secondary side of T5401 is rectified to produce a high-
voltage direct current and is accumulated at electrolytic ca-
pacitor C5412.
1-6. Charge monitoring circuit
The functions programmed in the IC541 monitor oscillations
and estimate the charging voltage. If the voltage exceeds the
rated value, charging automatically stops. Then, the
CHGDONE signal is changed to Lo output and a "charging
stopped" signal is sent to the microcomputer.
2. Light Emission Circuit
When FLCTL signal is input from the ASIC, the stroboscope
emits light.
2-1. Emission control circuit
When the FLCTL signal is input to the emission control cir-
cuit, Q5402 switches on and preparation is made to the light
emitting. Moreover, when a FLCTL signal becomes Lo, the
stroboscope stops emitting light.
2-2. Trigger circuit
The Q5402 is turned ON by the FLCTL signal and light emis-
sion preparation is preformed. Simultaneously, high voltage
pulses of several kV are emitted from the trigger coil and ap-
plied to the light emitter.
2-3. Light emitting element
When the high-voltage pulse form the trigger circuit is ap-
plied to the light emitting part, currnet flows to the light emit-
ting element and light is emitted.
Beware of electric shocks.
