Q: What are the SEL and ADJUST buttons for on the NIKON LITE TOUCH ZOOM 70WS-QD?

The SEL and ADJUST buttons are two control buttons dedicated to managing the date and time on your camera: SEL Button: This button allows you to select the date/time field you wish to modify. When you press the SEL button, the indicator to be adjusted starts blinking, allowing you to navigate between the different elements of the date and time. ADJUST Button: Once the field is selected (the one that is blinking), use the ADJUST button to increment the numbers. Each press increases the number by one unit.

Question 4

Will pressing the shutter when the E indicator is displayed damage the photos already taken?

Accepted Answer

No, pressing the shutter when the E indicator is displayed will not damage your photos already taken.

The E indicator means that the film is not properly loaded in the camera - this usually happens after an accidental opening of the back during exposure. When E is displayed, the shooting mechanism does not function normally. The camera therefore refuses to trigger correctly.

As a result, pressing the shutter with E displayed will not create a new exposure. Your 36 shots are safe inside the cartridge.

Recovering your photos:

Keep the back closed - do not reopen the camera, otherwise the remaining film would be exposed to light
Rewind the film - automatic rewinding starts at the end of a roll. You can also use the manual rewind button (to be operated with a pen)
Wait for the end of the rewinding - the G indicator appears and stabilizes when the rewinding is complete
Open the back and remove the film - your 36 photos are then protected inside the cartridge

Your photos are safe. Just make sure to complete the rewinding properly before reopening the camera.

Question 6

How do I remove the film when the indicator shows E?

Accepted Answer

The E indicator means that the film has not been loaded correctly or that the compartment has been opened during exposure. Good news: you can still remove the film without any risk.

Steps to remove the film despite the E display:

Open the back of the device by sliding the back unlock lever in the direction of the arrow.
Simply remove the film cartridge from the compartment.

Important: Unlike normal film, the film has not been properly exposed when the E indicator is displayed, so there is no risk of partial exposure when opening the case. This is why you do not need to press the rewind button or wait for the G indicator as you would with normal film.

Question 7

How to load the film without damaging it?

Accepted Answer

Here is the safe procedure to load your film without damaging it:

Before loading

Make sure to use a 35mm DX-coded cartridge (the camera automatically detects the ISO: 100, 200, 400, or 800).
Load the film away from direct sunlight.
For non-DX films, the camera defaults to ISO 100.

Loading steps

Open the back of the camera by sliding the unlock lever in the indicated direction.
Insert the film cartridge into its compartment and hold it securely in place.
Gently pull the film leader to the red positioning mark - this is the crucial step to avoid damage.
Check that the film is taut (not slack) and properly positioned in the rollers.
Close the back completely. The film advances automatically to frame 1.

Loading verification

During loading: the screen displays "- -" (blinking).
Success: "1" appears on the control screen.
Error: if "E" blinks, the film is not properly installed. Reopen the back and start again, ensuring the leader reaches the red mark.

Crucial warning

⚠️ NEVER open the back before the

Question 9

After opening the case to check the film during exposure, the counter now displays an 'E'. What does this message mean?

Accepted Answer

The message "E" displayed on the LCD screen of the Nikon ONE TOUCH ZOOM 90-QD means that the film has not been loaded correctly. This likely occurred when the case was opened.

On this camera, it is crucial to never open the case before the film has been completely rewound. By opening the back of the camera during exposure, you expose the film to light, which permanently damages it and causes this loading error.

How to correct this situation:

Open the camera case
Remove the damaged 35 mm film cartridge
Insert a new DX-coded film cartridge
Close the case properly

The "E" message should disappear once a new film is correctly loaded.

Question 10

Can I remove the film before it has been completely rewound?

Accepted Answer

No, you should not remove the film before the rewinding is complete. Opening the back of the device before the rewinding is finished will expose the film to light and permanently damage your photos.

With the NIKON ONE TOUCH ZOOM 90-QD, the rewinding is done automatically at the end of the film. You must wait for the "G" indicator to blink for about 10 seconds, then remain lit. Only then can you open the back of the device by sliding the unlock lever to remove the film.

If you wish to remove a partially exposed film (before using all 36 exposures), you must first start the rewinding by pressing the partially exposed film rewind button with a ballpoint pen or equivalent object. Then wait for the "G" indicator to appear before opening the back.
