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.

If the circuit is changed or modified, the information will be followed by service manual to be controlled with original service manual.

3.2.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.

Distinction of PCB Lead Free Solder being used

Service caution for repair work using Lead Free Solder (PbF)

The lead free solder has to be used when repairing the equipment for which the lead free solder is used. (Definition: The letter of “PbF” is printed on the PCB using the lead free solder.)

To put lead free solder, it should be well molten and mixed with the original lead free solder.

Remove the remaining lead free solder on the PCB cleanly for soldering of the new IC.

Since the melting point of the lead free solder is higher than that of the normal lead solder, it takes the longer time to melt the lead free solder.

Use the soldering iron (more than 70W) equipped with the temperature control after setting the temperature at 350±30°C (662±86°F).

Recommended Lead Free Solder (Service Parts Route.)

The following 3 types of lead free solder are available through the service parts route. RFKZ03D01K-----------(0.3mm 100g Reel)

RFKZ06D01K-----------(0.6mm 100g Reel) RFKZ10D01K-----------(1.0mm 100g Reel)

Note

* Ingredient: tin (Sn) 96.5%, silver (Ag) 3.0%, Copper (Cu) 0.5%, Cobalt (Co) / Germanium (Ge) 0.1 to 0.3%

The Panasonic DMC-TZ1 series represents a significant milestone in the realm of compact digital cameras. Designed with user-friendliness and advanced technology in mind, these models, including the DMC-TZ1PL, DMC-TZ1GC, DMC-TZ1EE, DMC-TZ1SG, and DMC-TZ1PP, cater to both amateur photographers and enthusiasts alike.

One of the standout features of the DMC-TZ1 series is its impressive 10x optical zoom lens. This capability allows users to capture stunning imagery with versatility, from wide landscapes to detailed close-ups. The lens is paired with a 7.2-megapixel sensor, which ensures sharp and vivid images, suitable for printing and sharing.

Incorporating Panasonic’s advanced image stabilization technology, the DMC-TZ1 models reduce the effects of camera shake, making them ideal for handheld shooting, especially in low-light conditions. This feature is particularly useful for travel photography, as it enables users to capture steady shots without the need for bulky tripods.

The TZ1 series is equipped with several automatic shooting modes, including portrait, landscape, and night scene settings. This intelligent scene selection enhances image quality, allowing photographers to focus on composition rather than technical settings. The integration of ISO sensitivity adjustments further contributes to the camera's performance in challenging lighting scenarios.

The cameras also feature a bright 2.5-inch LCD screen, offering a clear view for framing shots and reviewing images. Its user-friendly interface makes navigation simple, ensuring that users can easily adjust settings or browse through their images.

Additionally, the DMC-TZ1 series supports various imaging formats, including JPEG and AVCHD Lite for video recording, allowing for versatility in media storage. High-definition video recording capability opens the door for stunning video capture, complementing the already robust still photography features.

Powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the TZ1 models promise extended shooting sessions, perfect for vacations and events. Their compact design means they can easily slip into pockets or bags, making them convenient companions for photographers on the go.

In summary, the Panasonic DMC-TZ1PL, DMC-TZ1GC, DMC-TZ1EE, DMC-TZ1SG, and DMC-TZ1PP embody the ideal blend of portability, advanced imaging technology, and user-centered design. They make photography accessible, encouraging users to capture memories in exceptional detail, whether in daily life or during adventurous travels.
