Inserting Batteries

Your kit includes four AA batteries. Use the AC adapter included
in your kit whenever possible to save battery power.

1. Open the battery door.

2. Insert four AA batteries.
Make sure that the battery
terminals (+ and -) are
properly positioned.

Note:

You can use AA disposable batteries (high­capacity super alkaline or lithium) or rechargeable
(NiMH or Nicad) batteries. Lithium batteries last much
longer than high-capacity super alkaline, but are
generally more expensive.

Note:

If you use rechargeable batteries, you will need to
purchase a battery charger.

Polaroid PhotoMAX FUN! FLASH 820 Quickstart 7

Note:

Replace the batteries when the LED indicator light
blinks and the LCD does not turn on. Replace all four
batteries at the same time.

Battery precautions

•

Always remove batteries from the camera if you are not going to
use the camera for an extended period of time.

•

Do not leave dead batteries in the camera; they are susceptible to
leakage, which can cause significant damage to your camera.

•

You should never mix old and new batteries or different types of
batteries. If you use Nicad batteries, it is recommended that you
use a Nicad conditioning charger to extend the life of the batteries.

8

Using the AC Adapter

•

Use only the AC adapter that came with your camera. Using
a different AC adapter may cause damage to your camera.

•

Turn the camera power off before connecting or disconnecting the
AC adapter.

•

Grasp the plug, not the cord, when you unplug the adapter from an
outlet. Avoid bending, pulling, or twisting the AC adapter cord.
Do not try to lengthen the cord by splicing it with another wire.

•

Replace a damaged power cord with a new one (to avoid electrical
shock).

Note:

The AC adapter may become warm to the touch

after extended periods of use. This is no cause for alarm.

1. Insert the AC adapter cord into the power connector on the
camera.

Polaroid PhotoMAX FUN! FLASH 820 Quickstart 9

2. Plug the cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

before the memory is full. When the memory is full, you have to put

LCD menu on or off by pressing the menu button (d).

Changing the Resolution Setting

You can change the resolution setting on your camera between two
different options:

•

800 x 600 pixel resolution

•

400 x 300 pixel resolution

The resolution setting refers to the number of pixels in your digital
photo. The higher the pixel resolution, the more pixels that are
contained in your photo. A higher pixel resolution means that the
quality of the digital photo is higher when it is put on your computer
and either viewed on your computer screen or printed.

Your camera automatically sets to 800 x 600 pixel resolution. It is
recommended that you keep these resolution settings. The 400 x 300
resolution setting should be used for photos that will only be displayed
online (digitally), such as on a Web site or an email attachment.
Printing images at 400 x 300 resolution may result in enlarged pixels
appearing on your photo.

power off and on.

Note:

Each time you turn the camera off and on, its

settings return to the default.

26

Using the Power and Flash LEDs

Depending on what state the camera is in, the Power LED and Flash
LED lights can be on, off, or blinking. You can use the LEDs together
to determine what the camera is ready to do.

There are seven different possible states of the camera:

Flash LED Power LED State of camera

OFF OFF OFF

OFF ON ON, flash off

ON ON ON, flash ready

Blink ON ON, flash charging

OFF Blink (every 5 sec) ON, standby mode
