Power Supply

You can operate the Polaroid PDC 1300 Digital Camera on battery power or with the AC adapter. To conserve battery life, the camera shuts itself off after 3.5 minutes of inactivity and the LCD shuts off after 30 seconds of inactivity. To turn on the camera power, slide the power switch (back of camera) to the middle (OFF) position.

The camera displays a low battery icon on the LCD menu when battery power is weak. When you see this icon, replace the batteries as soon as possible.

Using AA batteries, the camera operates for about 30 minutes in RECORD mode.

Note: For longer battery life use high-capacity super alkaline, lithium disposable, or NiMH rechargeable batteries with your camera.

Note: Limiting the use of the LCD also saves batteries.

Use the AC adapter whenever possible to extend the life of your batteries. It is a good idea to keep a set of extra batteries handy, especially on a trip when it may not be possible to find replacement batteries easily.
