• Charging the Battery
There are four ways to charge the battery. Fully charge the battery for
3 hours with the camera powered off, and for 6 hours with the camera
powered on.
IMPORTANT:
• It is normal for the camera to be slightly warm while charging the battery.
• Electric current varies for different computers. Some computers may not
provide a sufcient charging current. For a full batter y charge or when you
use the camera away from your computer, we recommend the usage of
an AC adapter (included, DC 5V, 800 mA, with a USB plug) to charge the
battery. Visit www.polaroid.com for detailed information on an adapter.
• For a full battery charge, we recommend turning off the camera before
charging the battery.
• To get the best per formance out of the battery, it is recommended the
camera be kept charged at all times. Especially when not in use for a
period of time, like over a month or so.
• When the camera is connected to a computer, a message may prompt
for installing the camera driver. (The message window varies for different
Windows® OS) The battery can be charged without installing the driver. Click
“Cancel” to close the message window. To install the driver, please refer to
page 71 “Installing the Software onto a Computer” for further details.

About Histogram
A histogram shows you the distribution
of brightness in recorded images. The
more the clippings on the left, the darker
the image. The more the clippings on the
right, the brighter the image. Adjust the
exposure compensation to a positive value
if the image is too dark. Adjust the exposure
compensation to a negative value if the
image is too bright. Checking the histogram
will enable more precise exposure control
for subsequent shots.

produces better quality but occupies more memory space. Smaller size
pictures and normal quality are easier to email while larger size and ne
quality are better for printing.

8 Using the SD (Secure Digital) Card
• Using the SD Card
Your camera comes with built-in ash memory for storing pictures
and video clips. You can expand the memory using a commercially
available SD card (up to 1GB). 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 ash memory while a memory card is installed in the camera.
See pages 87 to 89 for storage capacities.
Memory Card Precautions
1. Use only an SD memory card with this camera.
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 reformatting it. However, we recommend that
you always take along more than one memory card whenever using
the camera far away from the home or ofce.
4. We recommend that you format a memory card before using it for
the rst time after purchasing it, 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.

IMPORTANT!
• Make sure you turn off the camera before inserting or removing a memory card.
• Be sure to orient the card correctly when inser ting it. Never try to force a
memory card into the slot when you feel resistance.
• SD memory cards have a write protection switch that you can use to
protect les from accidental deletion. However, you must remove the write
protection whenever you want to record new les onto it, format it, or
delete its les.
• Files contained in the SD card recorded by other cameras may conict with
the izone550™ camera, and valuable data in your existing SD card may be
distorted or lost when the card is inserted in the izone550™ camera. We
strongly recommend the user to use a NEW or formatted SD card for the
izone550™ camera. The manufacturer is not liable for losing or corrupting
any valuable data or les in your SD card due to your improper operation.
• As tests prove, the izone550™ works best with popular brands of memory
cards such as SanDisk, Panasonic, Lexar and TOSHIBA. Consider using these
cards for best performance.
Inserting the SD Card
Turn off the camera. Insert the SD card
and ensure the card is inserted correctly
as illustrated.
The
icon will appear on the LCD
screen when a SD card is inserted into
the camera.
Removing the SD Card
To remove the SD card, turn off your camera
and gently push the SD card inwards. And
then release it for the SD card to eject from
the SD card slot.
69
Polaroid izone550™ Digital Camera User Guide
www.polaroid.com
IMPORTANT!
• Never inser t any other object into the camera’s SD card slot. Doing so
creates the risk of damage to the camera and card.
• Should water or any foreign objects ever get into the card slot,
immediately turn off the camera, remove the batteries and contact your
deale r or nearest service provider.
• Never remove a card from the camera while the camera is powered on.
Doing so can cause the recording operation to fail, and even damage the
memory card.
Formatting the SD Card
Formatting the SD card erases all les stored in it, including the
protected ones. Removing the SD card during formatting may damage
the card.
1. Insert an SD card into the camera card slot.
2. Turn on the camera.
3. Procedures are the same as for formatting the internal memory.
Refer to “Formatting the Internal Memory” on page 25 for details.
IMPORTANT!
• You can format a memor y card on the camera or on a computer. However
formatting a memory card on a computer takes much longer.
• Note that the data deleted by a format operation cannot be recovered.
Make sure you do not have any useful data currently store d on a memory
card before you format it.
