Points to notice for Disassembly and Assembly
! WARNING
There are high voltege parts inside. Be careful of this electric shock,
when you remove the cover.
You must discharge the main condenser according to the instruction

of this repair manual after you remove the cover.
Caution:
In disassembly/(re)assembly, be sure to use conductive mat (J5033) and wrist strap (J5033-5), in
order to protect electric parts from static electricity.
Before disassembling, be sure to remove batteries or AC power cord.
In disassembling, be sure to memorize the processing state of wires and FPC, screws to be fixed and
their types, etc.
The low-pass filter of the image PCB/base plate is easily damaged. Handle it very carefully.
Points to notice for Lead-free solder products

Lead-free solder is used for this product.
For soldering work, the special solder and soldering iron are required.
Do NOT mix up lead-free solder with traditional solder.
Caution:
When "Separation of Front body from Rear body", "Disassembly of Image sensor unit"
and "Disassembly of Bayonet" are performed, be sure to carry out "RESET AF-DEFOCUS
COMPENSATION" of the D90 adjustment software after assembly.

Inspection and adjustment of AE CCD positioning
! WARNING

Under the environment where the AE-CCD positioning is adjusted, use the reference body and confirm results.
In case the measured value is out of standard, check whether there is no deviation of the focus area positioning.
In case the measured value is out of standard, change the environment of measurements. (e.g. setting place/direction,
room brightness, etc)
Procedure
While mount the top cover not by tightening the screws but by only connecting the FPC, make temporary assembly of
the grip cover and I/F cover into the bottom cover (with tripod attached) with four screws.
Mount "AF50/1.4D" on the camera, and fix them on the tripod horizontally.
Connect the camera and PC via USB cable (UC-E4).
Connect the AC adapter EH-5.
Be careful NOT to cause a short-circuit at uncovered portions.
Attach the AE-CCD positioning tool (J63108) in the color viewer (J63070), and turn power ON.
Keep the 0.7-m distance between the front face of the AE-CCD positioning tool and the reference surface of the camera.
Set the camera AF to manual, and rotate the focus ring to set to "0.7 m".
Start up the inspection and adjustment software for D90 (J65126), and select "Inspection and Adjustment for AE CCD
POSITION" then "Set Camera for AE CCD POSITION" to display the focus areas.
Looking through the viewfinder, move the camera so that the focus areas are positioned on the AE-CCD positioning tool
as below Fig.
Set the camera and AE-CCD positioning tool horizontally.
Select "Inspection and Adjustment for AE CCD POSITION".
Cover the camera with a black cloth, etc, when measured.
Place the metering FPC unit and turn the three screws (#514) until they are lightly attached, and then give them 1.5-turns
counterclockwise. By following the instructions on PC, adjust the AE-CCD position by using the screws [a (#514) and
b (#514)].
Fix the three screws with the screwlock.
After completing the adjustment, secure the top cover with the screw, and inspect accuracy. If the result does not meet
the standard, make the readjustment.

Shooting-image Adjustment
1. Summary
A103 Revision
When the D90 shooting image-related and listed parts on Page A104 are replaced, be sure to make this
adjustment by the shooting image adjustment software for D90 (J65127).
Use the D90 reference body beforehand, and get the reference value. Getting reference value will create the
reference data "D90BSD.DAT" automatically.
Make all of the adjustment items in numeric order. They are programmed to perform continuously, so when one
item is completed, the software automatically moves on to the next item.
If the adjustment is interrupted by "NG", the adjustment item can be restarted halfway from the "NG" item, and
the adjustment of items which ended with "OK" have been completed.

Image adjustment
Gr/Gb compensation adjustment (G filter)
Camera is faced to the light-emitting box (color viewer) of LV13 equiv. with SP2 (G filter) being put between
them. G-line crawl (38952610 pixels) is divided into (2925) blocks, and the adjustment is made so that the
difference between Gr and Gb output can fall in the standard range.

Dark current adjustment

Take a picture of the blackout surface (against dark background) and adjust the variation of dark current on the
total screen.
When the adjustment is made, use eyepiece cap (or black cloth).

Sensitivity adjustment
Under condition of ISO200 and ISO1600, the camera is faced to the color viewer (LV13 equiv.) with ND filter (-7
steps) being put between them. Using the tool lens (F5.6), the adjustment is made by changing the ampgain so
that G output can fall in the standard range. The gain value is adjusted so that the G output average value (Average
of Gr/Gb) of (425425 pixels), which was deviated from the center by 425 pixels, can reach the target output
level. By this sensitivity adjustment, the gain difference adjustment among channels is automatically made.

Sensitivity ratio adjustment
Using the shutter tester (LV9 equiv.) and tool lens (F5.6), the adjustment is made so that the R/G, B/G output
becomes the same as the output ratio of the sensitivity ratio reference value that was calculated by the reference
body. The adjustment is made only under the condition of ISO200, and the average value of (425 pixels 425
pixels) which was deviated from the center by 425 pixels is used.

TFT adjustment
Flickering, color and luminance of TFT are adjusted.
Whenever the DG-PCB or TFT monitor are replaced, be sure to perform "WRITING THE TFT FIXED
VALUE."
Hue adjustment
Usually default value is set and adjustment is not necessary.
If some problem is found with hue by visual check, adjust and correct it by "+/-" button.
Brightness adjustment
Usually default value is set and adjustment is not necessary.
If some problem is found with brightness by visual check, adjust and correct it by "+/-" button.
Obtain reference value
Sensitivity reference value calculation
Using the tool lens (F5.6), the reference body is faced to the color viewer (LV13 equiv.) with the ND filter (-7
steps) being put between them. Then, the G output average value of (425 pixels 425 pixels), which was devi-
ated from the center by 425 pixels, is stored in the D90BSD.DAT file as the sensitivity reference value.
Sensitivity ratio reference value calculation
Using the tool lens (F5.6), the reference body is faced to the shutter tester (LV 9 equiv.). Then, the sensitivity
ratio reference value GR and GB are calculated and stored in the D90BSD.DAT file, based on the G/R/B output
average of (425 pixels 425 pixels), which is deviated from the center by 425 pixels.
It is necessary to calculate the reference values in order to prevent the color temperature fluctuation caused by
the shutter tester or color viewer's changes over time from affecting the results of the shooting image adjustment.
By using the reference body, calculate the reference values once in about every 3 months, when either of the
fluorescent of the color viewer or tool lens (F5.6) or ND filter (ND8X2) is replaced.
