The Panasonic ZS70 is a lot like Liah. She is small, has one speed - fast forward - and a mind of her own.
July 7 was a warm and humid day, put the ZS70 in the camera bag to use to photograph the Richmond Kmart as it is small, fast working and sadly has a mind of its own.
Arrived at the location, picked up the ZS70 and began working. After some 5 or 6 exposures, stopped to check the results to find no / nada images. Checked out the settings and all seemed correct but no results. O.K., decided to deal with it later, put it back in the bag, selected a Panasonic G9 and continued working with no problems.
A day later sat down to figure out what was with the ZS70. A couple of hours later, no success. Time for a cup of coffee and looking out the window to figure out what was going on with the camera. Got the manual, read it and found no solution.
Put it aside for a day. Returning tried a few things but nothing was working. If at first you don't succeed, start at the beginning. Reset the camera to the factory settings and then entered my personal modifications. Took a couple of test shots which seemed to work problem solved and no idea the cause.
Yesterday, packed the ZS70 and headed over to the Veteran Memorial Park for a final test run.
The park is under the supervision of the American Legion Post 65. Placed about the area are memorials, flags and weapons of war.
the following are a few examples taken with the now working Panasonic ZS70 camera.

Life once again good - not.
Later that evening, turned on the TV and greeted by Welcome in three languages. No stations just Welcome.
Will spare the reader the various failed attempts to once again get individual stations.
Found the solution in the middle of a paragraph half way in the TV manual. What was required to move beyond Welcome was hold down the 2 button and press the down channel button repeatedly until the channels return.
Coffee wasn't called for, rather a glass of wine toasting the return ot TV programing made the rest of the evening a success.
