• Using Your Batteries
Our laboratory testing has shown that our digital camera models comply
with industry standard battery consumption levels (Camera & Imaging
Products Association commonly known as CIPA).
All digital cameras are high drain products. For the best performance and
prolonged battery life, we recommend the use of high capacity batteries
designed for such applications.
Here are some helpful hints to extend battery life considerably by limiting
the following activities:
• Reviewing the pictures on the LCD Screen
• Using the optical viewfinder (if your camera has one) to frame the
subject when taking pictures
• Excessive use of the flash
• Remove batteries from your camera when not in use to prevent battery
leakage.
WARNING!
• Batteries should be replaced by an adult.
• Use recommended or equivalent type of batteries only.
• Insert the batteries in the correct orientation.
• Remove exhausted batteries from the camera immediately.
• Do not short the supply terminals.
• Please dispose of the batteries properly.
• Do not touch the lens when the camera hangs due to low battery.
Please replace the batteries and power on the camera.
These instructions should be retained for future reference.

pictures are better for printing.

7 Using the SD (Secure Digital) Card
• Using the SD Card
Your camera comes with built-in flash memory for storing pictures and
video clips. You can expand the memory by using a Polaroid SD card (sold
separately) (up to 4GB). The camera senses whether a memory card is
inserted, and automatically saves pictures and video clips accordingly.
Note that you cannot save pictures or video clips to the built-in flash
memory while a memory card is installed in the camera. See pages 106 to
107 for storage capacities.
Memory card precautions:
1. Use only a compatible SD memory card with this camera preferably a
Polaroid SD card.
2. Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause
data corruption or even loss. Always make sure that you always back
up important data on other media (MO disc, computer hard drive,
etc.).
3. If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can restore normal
operation by formatting it. However, we recommend that you always
take along with more than one memory card whenever using the
camera far away from your home or office.
4. We recommend that you format a memory card when using it for the
first time, or whenever the card you are using seems to be the cause of
abnormal pictures. Remember to format a memory card if it was used
in another digital camera or other devices.
