Auto flash

Description
The flash fires automatically as needed. Use this
setting to take most pictures.

Red-eye Reduction

The flash fires for every picture and the flash
pre-strobes before shooting to reduce red-eye
phenomenon.

Flash Always

The flash fires for every picture. Use this setting
in high-contrast situations to provide fill-light or
use it indoors in low light.

slow sync

The flash fires regardless of the surrounding
brightness. In low light conditions, slow shutter
speed provides better lighting of the background
that is out of range of the flash.

Flash Off

The flash does not fire. Use this setting for
outdoor pictures or where flash is prohibited
or may be distracting. Also use when shooting
toward a reflective surface, such as a window
or mirror. If you do not have enough light
when using this setting, your pictures will be
too dark.

NOTE:
• Flash modes are only used in still image shooting.
• Never touch or block the flash with your fingers.

• Zoom Feature

There are two types of zoom in this camera: optical zoom and digital
zoom. Optical zoom alters the focal distance of the lens zoom, and its
factor range is 1X to 3X. Digital zoom is activated after you reach the
maximum optical zoom (3X). It enlarges the part of the image at the centre
of the image screen. Digital zoom factor range is 1X to 4X. These zoom
features let you zoom in the central area of an image and photograph only
the enlarged portion of the picture.

• 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 make
better quality which occupies more memory space. Smaller size pictures
with normal quality are easier to email while larger size with fine quality
are better for printing.

• Setting the ISO

This function enables you to change the camera’s sensitivity to light by
selecting the different ISO values. ISO is a measure of how quickly your
camera reacts to light. The higher the ISO value, the less light the camera
needs to make an exposure, allowing the same exposure to be achieved
with higher shutter speeds or smaller apertures. In a digital camera, higher
ISO value allows higher shutter speed, at the expense of mottled or grain
appearing in the final picture.

• About DPOF

DPOF stands for “Digital Print Order Format”, which is a format for
recording on a memory card or other medium which digital camera images
should be printed and how many copies of the image should be printed.
Then you can print on a DPOF-compatible printer or at a professional
print service from the memory card in accordance with the file name and
number of copies settings recorded on the card.
With this camera, you should always select images by viewing them on
the LCD screen. Do not specify images by file name without viewing the
file contents.

IMPORTANT!
DPOF print settings can be configured for images on a memory card only, not for
images in the camera’s built-in memory.

Setting the DPOF:
1. Insert an SD card into the camera.
2. Turn on the camera.

8 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 100 to
101 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.

Polaroid i532 Digital Camera User Guide
www.polaroid.com

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 i532 camera, and valuable data in your existing SD card may be distorted
or lost when the card is inserted in the i532 camera. We strongly recommend
the user to use a NEW or formatted SD card for the i532 camera. The
manufacturer is not liable for losing or corrupting any valuable data or files in
your SD card due to improper operation.
• As tests prove, the i532 works best with popular brands of memory cards
such as SanDisk, Panasonic, Lexar and TOSHIBA. Consider using these cards
for best performance.

Polaroid i532 Digital Camera User Guide
www.polaroid.com

Inserting a SD card
1. Turn off the camera.
2. Open the SD card door by pushing it outwards as illustrated.
3. Insert the SD card and ensure the card is inserted the correct position
as illustrated.
4. Close the SD card door by pressing it downwards and then slide it
back to lock.

The icon will appear on the LCD screen when a SD card is inserted into
the camera.

Polaroid i532 Digital Camera User Guide
www.polaroid.com

Removing the SD card
To remove the SD card, turn off your camera and open the SD card door.
Gently push the SD card inwards and then release it. The SD card will
eject out of the SD card slot.

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 battery or disconnect the AC adapter, and
contact your dealer or the nearest service provider.
• Never remove a card from the camera while the camera is powered on. Doing
so can cause the picture or video recording operation to fail, and even damage
the memory card.
