• Setting the ISO
This function enables you to change the camera’s sensitivity to light by selecting the different ISO values. ISO is a measure of how quickly your camera reacts to light. The higher the ISO value, the less light the camera needs to make an exposure, allowing the same exposure to be achieved with higher shutter speeds or smaller apertures. In a digital camera, higher ISO value allows higher shutter speed, at the expense of mottled or grain appearing in the final picture.

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 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 110 to 111
for storage capacities.
Memory card precautions:
1. Use only a 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 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.
Polaroid m737t Digital Camera User Guide www.polaroid.com

IMPORTANT!
• Make sure you turn off the camera before inserting or removing a memory
card.
• Be sure to orient the card correctly when inserting 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
fi les from accidental deletion. However, you must remove the write protection whenever you want to record new fi les onto it, format it, or delete its fi les.
• Files contained in the SD card recorded by other cameras may confl ict with the
m737t camera, and valuable data in your existing SD card may be distorted or lost when the card is inserted in the m737t camera. We strongly recommend the user to use a new or formatted Polaroid (not included) SD card for the m737t camera. The manufacturer is not liable for losing or corrupting any valuable data or fi les in your SD card due to improper operation.
Inserting a SD card
1. Slide the SD Card/Battery door switch to the right as illustrated, and
release it. The door will automatically open.
2. Insert the SD card as shown, ensuring you follow the correct
orientation.
3. Press the battery door downwards until you hear a click.

IMPORTANT!
• Never insert 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 battery or disconnect the AC adapter, and contact your dealer or the nearest service provider.
• Never remove a card from the camera while the camera is powered on. Doing so can cause the picture or video recording operation to fail, and even damage the memory card.
