8 Polaroid PhotoMAX MP3 Digital Camera Quickstart Guide

Carefully insert the 16 MB (or higher) CompactFlash memory card (

page 6) and close the compartment door.

The CompactFlash card ﬁts tightly and only one way (with the label

facing the back of the camera). Do not force the card. To remove the

card, make sure the camera is in

OFF

mode and press the eject button

beside it and pull the card straight out.

Note:

If a CompactFlash card is not in the camera, only photo ﬁles

are stored in 0.5 MB of internal camera memory. When a

CompactFlash card is in the camera, both MP3 and photo

ﬁles are stored in the card.

Note:

Larger capacity Type I CompactFlash cards store more MP3

music and photos than smaller cards. Each megabyte of card

capacity holds about one minute of MP3 music downloaded

at 128 Kbps. To increase the amount of music the camera will

hold, download MP3 ﬁles from the Web at 56 or 64 Kbps.

Note:

For information about replacing an existing CompactFlash

card, see the

README

ﬁle that is installed in the

PhotoMAX

software directory on your PC.
