With this topic I would like to know what the Factory Menu in the Canon 400D is for...
After installing the testfir.fir I found that menu and I see there are four tests:
1. SW TEST (Switches Test)
2. DISPLAY CK (Display Test)
3. DIAL CK (Dials test)
4. AF CK (Auto Focus Test)
5. DATA CHK (Check the results of the previous test)
I tried only the first 3 tests, and I managed to end successfully only 2 and 3.
1 - SW TEST
With this test you have to check if all your buttons works, so you have to press all the buttons on the camera.
It is divided in 4 pages.
Every line goes green whenever you press the relative button, when all lines are green the test is passed.
1. Accessory <--- External Flash (just press Flash button with external flash attached)
2. MAIN DIAL1 <---
3. MAIN DIAL2 <---
4. AF SEL <---Focus Point Selection / Zoom in
5. AEL <---Lock Exposure / Zoom out
6. DRIVE <---Shoot mode / Auto-shutter
7. AV <--- Av+/- Button
8. DIRECT PT <--- Direct Print
9. DOF PREV <--- DOF Preview (left below to the lens)
10 ST UP <--- FLASH button (first push)
11 POPUP <--- FLASH button (flash cover raising)
12 CHARGE <--- FLASH button (some test flashes)
13 FLASH <--- FLASH button (Main Flash)
14 LENS <--- FLASH button (
TTL maybe)
15 EXT ST <---
16 CF <--- Compact Flash (this lines goes green automatically after some seconds during the test)
17 DISP <--- DISP button
18 JUMP <--- JUMP button
19 PLAY <--- PLAY/Preview button
20 ERASE <--- delete button, waste bin
21 X KEY UP <--- ISO/up
22 X KEY DOWN <---WB /down
23 X KEY R <--- AF / right
24 X KEY L <--- Metering Mode / left
25 LG-SW1 <--- shutter half pressed
26 LG-SW2 <--- shutter full pressed
27 LG-MAIN D <--- dial selector (near shutter)
28 LG-AF SEL <---- same as 4
29 LG-AEL <---- same as 5
30 LG-AV <--- same as 7
31 BAT COVER <--- battery cover (open and close the battery compartment, without removing battery)
32 REMOTE <--- remote shutter
33 FDS <--- IR Face Sensor above the LCD (just pass a finger on it and remove)
As you see
I managed to find all the buttons except 3:
2 Main DIAL1
3 Main DIAL2
...
15 EXT ST
If not all buttons are pressed the test will fail.
Is there anyone who know how to pass those 4 lines? Where are the buttons for them?
