Inspect the lens block focus reset sensor (pin
8
of CN5401 on
the VC-560 board) when focusing is performed when the focus
buttons of the touch panel are pressed in the focus manual mode,
and the focus motor driver circuit (IC5401 on the VC-560 board)
when focusing is not performed.
Inspect the lens block zoom reset sensor (pin

the VC-560 board) when zooming is not performed.
Check whether the flexible board of the lens is broken, and
check whether it is inserted imperfectly. If there is no problem in
the flexible board, inspect the focus/zoom motor drive circuit
(IC5401 on the VC-560 board).
Inspect the flash memory (IC7801 on the VC-560 board).
Format the internal memory (IC8701 on the VC-560 board).
