A characteristic of electronic cameras

In rare cases, when strong static electricity or the like is applied to the camera, the camera may not work properly. If this happens, remove the battery and re-install it. When the battery is removed, the date/time you set are cleared. Reset them after reinstalling the battery. (p. 31)

Camera care tips

When the camera is not in use:

Close the slide cover to turn the camera off when not in use. This prevents accidental release of the shutter and resulting battery drain.

When the camera will not be used for a long period:

Remove the battery and store the camera in a cool, dry, clean place. It is recommended to install a battery once a month and fire the flash several times to prevent deterioration of the capacitors.

Keep the camera dry:

The Lite Touch Zoom 70Ws / Lite Touch Zoom 70Ws QD is not waterproof, and therefore should not be exposed to rain or saltwater.

Do not apply strong shock to the camera:

Do not drop the camera or hit it against a hard surface.

When storing the camera:

Do not leave the camera in an excessively hot and humid place, such as inside a closed car or car trunk or in front of a heater, or a place exposed to chemicals such as camphor or naphthalene. Using a desiccant during storage is recommended.

Maintenance:

Use a dry, soft cloth or commercially available blower brush or lens cleaner to remove dirt and smudges.

Lightly wipe away the dirt on the Viewfinder eyepiece with a soft cloth.

Use the flash intermittently:

Firing the flash repeatedly makes the battery and camera hot. Allow sufficient time for them to cool off before taking pictures again.

When using the camera at low temperature:

The camera may not operate at low temperature with a nearly exhausted battery. Use a fresh battery at low temperatures, keep spare batteries warm, and use them alternately.

Battery power may be restored when the temperature returns to normal.
