Most settings are saved by the camera when the power is turned off so that the  
same setting is automatically available when the power is turned on again. Make  
sure you verify your settings when turning the camera on again.

• 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

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.

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 i639 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 i639 camera, and valuable data in your existing SD card may be distorted  
or lost when the card is inserted in the i639 camera. We strongly recommend  
the user to use a NEW or formatted SD card for the i639 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 i639 works best with popular brands of memory cards  
such as SanDisk, Panasonic, Lexar and TOSHIBA. Consider using these cards  
for best performance.

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.

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.
