• How to Use the Tether (Optional)  
A rubber tether is included in the accessory kit of the camera. It offers  
a quick, simple, and secure connection between the USB connector and  
the AC adapter for battery charge.  
AC Adapter (Optional)  
Tether (Optional)  
USB Connector  
(Optional)

Electric current varies for different computers. Some computers may  
not provide a sufficient charging current. For a full battery charge or  
when you use the camera away from your computer, we recommend  
the usage of an AC adapter (DC 5V, 500 mA, with a 3.5 x 1.35 x 9 mm  
female plug, Positive Center) to charge the battery.

• Charging the Battery  
There are four ways to charge the battery. Please fully charge the  
battery for four hours before using the camera for the first time after  
purchase, and about three hours for subsequent recharging.  
NOTE:  
• 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 sufficient charging current. For a full battery charge or when  
you use the camera away from your computer, we recommend the usage  
of an AC adapter (DC 5V, 500 mA, with a 3.5 x 1.35 x 9 mm female plug,  
Positive Center) to charge the battery.  
• For a full battery charge, we recommend turning off the camera before  
charging the battery.  
• To get the best performance 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 60 “Installing the Software onto a Computer” for further details.

• Reset Feature  
In the rare situation that the camera locks up (usually in a very low  
power situation), we have incorporated a Reset button on the back of  
the camera that allows the camera processor to be reset without losing  
any images.  
To use the Reset button, simply depress the Reset button gently  
(holding for around 5 seconds) using a paper clip or ball point pen. The  
camera will power off automatically. It is important to note that the  
camera probably needs to be recharged immediately in order to avoid  
locking up again.

• Setting the Image Size and Quality  
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  
produces better quality but occupies more memory space. Smaller size  
pictures and normal quality are easier to email while larger size and fine  
quality 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 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 flash memory while a memory card is installed in the camera.  
See pages 76 to 78 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 office.  
4. We recommend that you format a memory card before using it for  
the first 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.  
56  
Polaroid izone300™ Digital Camera User Guide  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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 files from accidental deletion. However, you must remove the write  
protection whenever you want to record new files onto it, format it, or  
delete its files.  
Files contained in the SD card recorded by other cameras may conflict with  
the izone300™ camera, and valuable data in your existing SD card may be  
distorted or lost when the card is inserted in the izone300™ camera. We  
strongly recommend the user to use a NEW or formatted SD card for the  
izone300™ camera. The manufacturer is not liable for losing or corrupting any  
valuable data or files in your SD card due to your improper operation.  
As tests prove, the izone300™ 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.  
57  
Polaroid izone300™ Digital Camera User Guide  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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 batteries and contact your  
dealer 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 files 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 22 for details.  
IMPORTANT!  
• You can format a memory 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 stored on a memory  
card before you format it.

Scene complexity affects a picture’s file size. For example, a picture of  
trees in autumn has a larger file size than a picture of blue sky at the same  
resolution and quality setting. Therefore, the number of pictures you can  
store on a memory card may vary.
