Your Polariod I-Zone instant camera takes miniature pictures you can download to your computer and share. Although at times, it might fail to work, take a picture or the computer might not recognize the camera. In most cases, these and other problems can be solved.
Instructions
1. Check that the serial cable is connected to the camera and computer, and that it is secure if the computer does not recognize the camera, or a "Camera not found" message is displayed.
2. Verify that the camera is on and that the Mode switch is set to "Digital" if the computer does not recognize the camera. The Mode switch is located on the top middle part of the camera.
3. Turn off conflicting hardware and software devices on your computer while the camera is connected to it.
4. Disconnect the camera from the computer if the computer does not recognize the camera. Turn off the computer and all connected devices. Reconnect, then turn on the camera. Turn on the computer. Verify that the computer and camera are compatible if the computer still does not recognize the camera.
5. Check the polarity of the batteries if the camera does not turn on. The batteries should be installed correctly with the positive "+" and negative "-" ends as illustrated in the battery compartment.
6. Replace all four AAA batteries at the same time if the camera does not turn on, the flash takes too long to charge or does not go off.
7. Press the "Power" button located on the back left side of the camera if the camera does not turn on. After a few moments of inactivity, in order to save battery power, it may have automatically turned itself off.
8. Wait until the flash indicator is solid if it flashes and you cannot take a picture in Digital mode. Wait until the green and amber image processing indicators are solid or stop flashing if you still cannot take a picture in Digital mode.
9. Transfer all photos to your computer if you cannot take a picture in Digital mode. Delete pictures from the camera's memory.
10. Set the exposure if you cannot take a picture in Instant mode. The Instant selector switch is located on the top left side of the camera. Turn the switch to the "Outdoors" sun with cloud icon if you are taking a picture outdoors in cloudy weather, and you are two feet or more from the subject. Select the "Outdoors" sun icon if you are outdoors in sunny weather, and you are two feet or more from the subject. Select the "Indoors" house icon if you are indoors and two to eight feet away from the subject. Take the picture after the flash indicator lights up.
11. Retake the picture if it looks blurry. Ask the subject of your picture to stand or sit in a still position until the picture has been taken.
