• 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 (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 97 to 100 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.

IMPORTANT!

• Make sure you turn off the camera before inserting or removing a memory card.
