Polaroid A - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support - Page 5

Glad to hear you're up and running again.

Good day,

I have heard a lot of complaints about people taking Blurry Photos.

There are a few possibilities for it and a few easy fixes.

The first possibility I would identify is a dirty lens. To fix this simply take a clean microfiber cloth and gently clean the lens until there are no smudges visible.



The other possibility I would identify is that the pictures are out of focus.
This problem can be caused by a dirty lens or because the object or person was not focused on. To ensure focus on your photos, line up your shot and wait for the camera to focus by pressing the shutter button half way down. When focused press the shutter button in all the way and hold the camera still until the photo appears on the screen. By doing this you will eliminate any motion that might mess up your shot.

Please let me know if these tips work for you!

Regards

There is a small 3volt battery soldered on the main board that needs to be replaced. It has a yellow band around it, unless you can replace it yourself it's not worthwhile. If you decide to replace it beware of the flash capacitor charge.

Ciao Pino.

La Polaroid ha una batteria interna saldata sulla scheda madre (Altre marche e modelli usano una batteria tipo monetina, la Kodak ha una batteria saldata). Questa si ricarica usando le batterie principali. La batteria interna ha una autonomia di diverse ore. Il suo ruolo e' preservare le impostazioni.

Se il problema sussiste anche quando le pile nello slot sono cariche, vuol dire che la mini batteria saldata dentro la camera e' diffettosa, e non mantiene la carica.
Una camera da 5 Mp oggi vale meno di 50 euro. Se la camera funziona non vale la pena ripararla.

This could very well just be the nature of the camera-- are you attempting to take pictures in low light? This can cause difficulty for the camera to focus. If the camera is having trouble focusing in broad daylight, then there is likely some problem with the autofocus system that would need to be examined by a camera repair shop. The repair on a point and shoot camera like this one would likely exceed the value of the camera.

Yes. Some cameras have very limited memory to use without a memory card, but most do not.

Hi there,

First, you need to copy the pictures from your camera to your computer.

1. Plug your camera to your computer using the USB cable.
2. RIGHT click your Windows START button and click Explore or choose to open Windows Explorer.
3. Under My Computer or Computer, look for the drive letter associated with your camera and click on it to show the contents on the right.
4. Find your pictures from one of the folders and copy them on your local disk drive.
5. Finally, open your email and click Attach File button and browse on the location of the picture you want to send.

Hope this helps. Thank you for using FixYa.

If this is a digital camera, it uses a memory card, NOT FILM!

Cameras don't come with memory cards....you have to buy them separately.

Please do hard reset on your camera by turning it off, removing the battery and get it turn on again. Now paired you camera with computer. If still get problem remove and re install your driver.

Hi,

This picture shows you how to format a memory card on your Polaroid A530 Digital Camera.



I hope this works for you. Good Luck!

"Understanding explains better..."

Stop trying to do that and get a memory card. Writing to the internal memory is a frustrating experience. It's very small and only allows a few picture before it fills up. Once it's full, you can't use a regular memory card without going through a few steps.

Take it back to the store and get another camera but not this one - it has many hardware issues from the time it was released for sale. Read the comments: http://www.amazon.com/Polaroid-A300-3-2MP-Digital-Camera/dp/B000FW2I5S

hi

get in the menu of the camera
and chose to reset it to factory mode

Yes format your memory card for sure I'm also sending a diagram of an SD card showing the little switch on the side. This switch locks the card from formatting to protect or save images.
Also the formatting of the memory card allows the camera and memory card to communicate properly between the two. Formatting should be done after each time you download pictures to the computer Formatting should be done in the camera the memory card is being used in not the computer.
Here is the diagram.

Hi,

is the memory card already inserted?
Digital cameras usually have bulit in memmory for demo purposes. If you want be sure that this is not caused by the memmory card inserted, then remove it and try to make some shots. If it is still turning off, then try to fully charge the battery before first use.
Has the memmory card been shipped together with the camera? Or did you buy it separately? Some cards are HC (higt capacity) marked and even almost all of the devices are supporting bigger sizes too ( 4GB and more) it could be a compatibility problem. Just try to format it on the camera or on a computer before first use.
