2.2.1 System Control

The CPU on the main PCB ass’y controls the EF lens (motor, shutter), operation switch receiver, USB communication and flowing circuits.

TG: Creation of the CCD drive pulse

CDS, A/D: CCD signal processing and conversion of the digital data

LCD Driver: Driving the LCD

FLASH MEMORY: Firmware memory

DSP: Picture processing

RTC: Clock count for watch

AF Support LED: AF auxiliary, self-timer and red-eye protection also serves as a lamp

Electric Flash: Flash and charging circuit
