Canon EOS 7 - ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENTS

1. ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENTS
1.1 PRECAUTION WHEN MAKING ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENTS
• The adjustment software supports the Multiple Tool II and the HS-I/F. You can,
however, double or triple the data transfer speed when the HS-I/F is used compared
with when memory is not expanded by using the expanded memory (CY9-7082-002).
We recommend using expanded memory to finish adjustments more quickly.
The Multiple Tool II transfers data at the same speed as when memory is expanded.
• Before you replace the main board with a new one, be sure to initialize the main flex
and make all the adjustments. The new main board is not written with initialize data.
• Be sure to terminate the adjustment by selecting F10 Quit. This clears the charging
inhibit.
• When communications is carried out with the camera, never press switch SW2. Doing
so will result in an error. Also, do not press the switches (e.g. AE, ranging) after
communications is started. Doing so might prevent adjustment, in particular AF
adjustment, from being carried out correctly.
• Do not attach or remove the lens during AF basic adjustments. Doing so might prevent
adjustment from being carried out correctly.
1.2 ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENTS
Shutter adjustment Adjusts shutter speeds.
SPC positioning Adjusts and checks the position of the AE sensor. (Also describes
mechanical adjustment and adjustment method that does not
require the use of tools.)
AE adjustment Adjusts output of AE sensor.
AE shift adjustment Shifts exposure in 1/8 steps at user request.
AF basic adjustment Adjusts the AF sensor to the optimum output.
AF focus adjustment Adjusts the focus to the optimum value.
AF sensor image Displays data output from AF sensor as a waveform. This is used
to check chart settings.
Focus output Displays the AF sensor focus data. This is used to check AF
accuracy.
AF focus shift Corrects rare slight AF focus errors resulting from use of a lens
with a shallow depth of focus such as EF 50 mm f/1.0L, and EF
85 mm f/1.2L.
Flash adjustment Adjusts the output of the A-TTL, E-TTL flash sensor.
Inhibit voltage Adjusts inhibit voltage for the camera.
Self check LCD full display, error No. display, charging inhibited, and other
camera modes can be set.
Eye Control adjustment Eye Control adjustments.
Data transfer Initializes, stores, or transfers camera data.
Temperature compensation Compensates the camera's temperature sensor.
Counter reset Clears the film counter or writes the film counter to any value.
