Your Polaroid digital camera might not turn on, shut off automatically or its LCD becomes blank on occasion. Other issues may occur from time to time. Sometimes an error message displays to alert you of a problem. Follow a troubleshooting strategy that addresses situations with and without the clue of an error prompt.
Instructions
1. Charge or replace the two AA batteries with new ones if the camera does not turn on or the lens does not retract. Verify that the correct battery type is selected in the Setup menu. Press the "Menu" button. Use the left flower, right lightening bolt, up, and down arrow buttons to navigate through the menus and make your selections. Select the "Setup" menu wrench/hammer icon. Select "Battery Type." Choose from "Alkaline," "NiMH," "Lithium," or "Oxyride." Press the "OK" or lightening bolt arrow icon to accept the new battery setting.
2. Press any button other than the "Power" button if the camera automatically shuts off or the LCD turns blank. Press the "Menu" button if the camera still automatically shuts off. Select "Power Save." Select "Off."
3. Replace the memory card with one that has an image format supported by the camera if the LCD displays a "No image" or "Not available for this file" error message.
4. Download images to your computer and delete unwanted images if the LCD displays "Memory full."
5. Press the "Play" button to enter Playback mode if the LCD displays "File locked." Select "Protect." Select "Unlock All" or select "Single," and then use the directional arrow buttons to scroll to the file. Select "Unlock" to unlock a single file.
6. Remove the memory card and set the write-protect switch to the unlocked position if the LCD displays "Card locked," "Format error" or "Copy error." Replace the memory card or delete unwanted image files if the Copy error message is still displayed.
7. Press the "Menu" button if your TV screen displays a "No image" error message when your camera is connected to it. Select the "Setup" menu wrench/hammer icon. Select "TV Out." Select "NTSC" for Canada, Japan, Taiwan, USA and nearby geographical areas or select "PAL" for Asia, Oceania and Europe and nearby geographical areas. Press the "OK" or lightening bolt arrow icon to accept the new setting.
8. Press the "Menu" button to begin the process of resetting your camera back to its factory defaults if problems continue and an error message or no error message is displayed. Select the "Setup" menu wrench/hammer icon. Select "Reset All." Select "Yes." Alternatively, select "Cancel" to cancel the action.
