1 Safety Precautions 1.1. General Guidelines 1.3. Leakage Current Hot Check 1. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE (See Figure 1.) There are special components used in this equipment 1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use which are important for safety. These parts are marked by an isolation transformer for this check.
1.4. How to Discharge the E.Capacitor on Flash P.C.B. CAUTION: 1. Be sure to discharge the E.capacitor on FLASH P.C.B.. 2. Be careful of the high voltage circuit on FLASH P.C.B. when servicing. [Discharging Procedure] 1. Refer to the disassemble procedure and remove the necessary parts/unit. 2.
2 Warning 2.1. Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) to Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called Elec- trostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local 2.3.2.3. How to Replace the Fuse Panasonic Dealer. 1. Remove the Fuse Cover with a screwdriver. If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home then the fuse should be removed and the plug cut off and disposed of safety.
NOTE: This Lithium battery is a critical component. (Type No.: ML421 Manufactured by Energy Company, Panasonic Corporation.) It must never be subjected to excessive heat or discharge. It must therefore only be fitted in requirement designed specifically for its use.
3 Service Navigation 3.1. Introduction This service manual contains technical information, which allow service personnel’s to understand and service this model. Please place orders using the parts list and not the drawing reference numbers.

3.3. General Description About Lead Free Solder (PbF) The lead free solder has been used in the mounting process of all electrical components on the printed circuit boards used for this equipment in considering the globally environmental conservation. The normal solder is the alloy of tin (Sn) and lead (Pb). On the other hand, the lead free solder is the alloy mainly consists of tin (Sn), silver (Ag) and Copper (Cu), and the melting point of the lead free solder is higher approx.30°C (86°F) more than that of the normal solder.
3.5. How to Define the Model Suffix (NTSC or PAL model) There are eight kinds of DMC-FH2, DMC-FS16 and DMC-FS14, regardless of the colours. • a) DMC-FH2P/PC • b) DMC-FS16EB/EF/EG/EP, FS14EB/EG/EP • c) DMC-FS16EE, FS14EE • d) DMC-FH2GK • e) DMC-FH2GT •...
3.5.2. INITIAL SETTINGS: After replacing the MAIN P.C.B., make sure to perform the initial settings after achieving the adjustment by ordering the following procedure in accordance with model suffix of the unit. 1. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Before proceeding Initial settings, make sure to read the following CAUTIONS. 2.
Page 12
[CASE 1. After replacing MAIN P.C.B.] When MAIN P.C.B. has just been replaced, all of the model suffix is displayed as follows. (Five pages in total) [CASE 2. Other than “After replacing MAIN P.C.B.”] • Step 5. Choose the model suffix in “INITIAL SETTINGS”: (Refer to “CAUTION 1”) [Caution: After replacing MAIN P.C.B.] The model suffix can been chosen, JUST ONE TIME.
Page 13
• Step 6. Chose the model number in "INITIAL SETTINGS": (Only for "EG/EP/EB/EE" models.) This step is necessary only for "EG/EP/EB/EE". Only for model suffix with "EG/EP/EB/EE", there are two kind of model; (DMC-FS14 and DMC-FS16) ,due to difference of sales channel.Therefore, not only model suffix, but also model number (FS14 or FS16) has to be set up in the "INITIAL SETTINGS".
Page 14
• Step 8. CONFIRMATION: Confirm the display of “PLEASE SET THE CLOCK” in concerned language when the unit is turned on again. When the unit is connected to PC with USB cable, it is detected as removable media. (When the “GT” or “GK” model suffix is selected, the display shows “PLEASE SET THE CLOCK” in Chinese.) 1) As for your reference, major default setting condition is as shown in the following table.
Do not cover the speaker with your fingers. 17 Microphone 18 Shutter button 20 Tripod receptacle 21 Card/Battery door 22 DC coupler cover When using an AC adaptor, ensure that the Panasonic DC coupler (optional) and AC adaptor (optional) are used. 23 Release lever...

List of [Rec] Modes Intelligent Auto Mode The subjects are recorded using settings automatically selected by the camera. Normal Picture Mode The subjects are recorded using your own settings.
6 Service Mode 6.1. Error Code Memory Function 1. General description This unit is equipped with history of error code memory function, and can be memorized 16 error codes in sequence from the latest. When the error is occurred more than 16, the oldest error is overwritten in sequence. The error code is not memorized when the power supply is shut down forcibly (i.e.,when the unit is powered on by the battery, the battery is pulled out) The error code is memorized to FLASH-ROM when the unit has just before powered off.
Page 19
• 3. Error Code List The error code consists of 8 bits data and it shows the following information.
Important notice about "Error Code List" 1) About "*" indication: The third digit from the left is different as follows. - In case of 0 (example: 18001000) When the third digit from the left shows "0", this error occurred under the condition of INITIAL SETTINGS has been completed.
Page 21
3. How to read 4. How to exit: Simply, turn the power off. (Since ICS function is executed under the condition of temporary cancellation of "INITIAL SETTINGS", it wake up with normal condition when turn off the power.)
7 Service Fixture & Tools 7.1. Service Fixture and Tools The following Service Fixture and tools are used for checking and servicing this unit. 7.2. When Replacing the Main P.C.B. After replacing the MAIN P.C.B., be sure to achieve adjustment. The service software is available at “TSN Website”.
