After Adjustment

9.4.1.

Initial Setting

Since the initial setting has been released to execute the built-in adjustment software, it should be set up again before shipping the
camera to the customer.
Refer to the procedure described in “3.4.2. INITIAL SETTINGS” for details.

[ IMPORTANT ] 

1. The initial setting should be done again after completing the alignment. Otherwise, the camera will not work properly.

Therefore as a warning, the camera display a warning symbol “ ! ” on the LCD monitor every time the camera is turned off.

2. Confirm that status of all adjustment flag show “F”. Even if one of the adjustment flag shows “0”, initial setting programmed is

never executed.
