• Setting the Picture Resolution and Compression
Picture resolution refers to the number of pixels in a digital picture. Picture
quality depends on the JPEG file compression that the camera applies
when the picture is taken. Higher resolution and less compression makes
better quality and occupies more memory space. Smaller size and normal
quality pictures are easier to email while larger size and fine quality pictures
are better for printing.

• 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.

SELECT IMAGES The selected picture in the memory card will be

• 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 106 to
107 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.
ALL IMAGES All pictures in the memory card will be printed up to

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 t737 camera, and valuable data in your existing SD card may be distorted
or lost when the card is inserted in the t737 camera. We strongly recommend
the user to use a new or formatted Polaroid (not included) SD card for the t737
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

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
