1. ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENTS
1.1 Cautions
•
The adjustment software is compatible with Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, and
Windows 2000. The computer must have a Pentium II 233 MHz or higher
processor, 128 MB of RAM, and a 800
×
600 (1024
×
768 recommended) or larger
monitor. To install all the adjustment software, about 20 MB of hard disk space
is required.
•
The manuals for the adjustment software are bundled together with the
respective adjustment software program. On the initial screen, you can select
"no camera" so that you can use the software without connecting a camera.
•
Before servicing, jot down the user's settings, such as Custom Function (C.Fn)
settings, owner's name, and the serial number. All of the data of the camera
section and the digital section can be saved with the adjustment software by
doing "data save".
•
Since the color chart or light source (EF8000, 5000) will have slight
idiosyncrasies, first use a known-good (non-defective) camera to check the
characteristics. For details, see "1.8 Digital Adjustment and Standard Data
Creation."
•
Before doing the adjustment, be sure to turn off the "Auto Power Off." If the
power turns off during the adjustment, an error may occur.
•
Perform maintenance of the light source (EF-8000, 5000) at regular intervals.
See "1.7 Light Source Maintenance."
•
Imager file data is appended in a floppy disk with the replacement parts. If the
imager file data has been lost due to the replacement of the D board, etc., you
can obtain it from the Canon FTP site. To access the Canon FTP site, contact
your local HQ. (FTP site is planned to open up in early 2002.)
•
The imager file can be updated (Pixcel dot update added). See "1.10 Updating
the Imager File."
•
When exporting the image to an image-editing program such as Photoshop,
make sure the "processing parameters" are set to the standard settings.
•
A replacement digital board unit (CG2-0710) from stock may have the old
firmware. Before doing the adjustment, check the firmware version. If it is an old
version, update the firmware before doing the adjustment.
•
For the AF adjustment, there is no need to input the flange focal distance. After
the AF adjustment, photograph a 3-D chart and check the focus. If fine
adjustment is necessary, adjust by shifting the AF focus. See "1.9 AF Adjustment."
•
If the user says that focusing is faulty, avoid shifting the focus at first. Instead,
try and obtain the user's lens and check it.
•
When adjusting the camera's exposure, check the "SPC Positioning Adjustment."
After the digital section adjustments, do a final check.
•
New main board units (CG2-0770) already have the initial data written within.
Therefore, initialization is not necessary.
•
When adjusting the digital section, defragmentation of the adjusting area may
be required. (Especially when you are transfering the imager file.) See"1.14
Defragmenting the Adjusting Area."
