Polaroid PhotoMAX FUN! 620 Digital Camera User’s Manual 3
Note: For more information about the camera’s features and functions
than we can provide in this manual, see the Tips, Tricks, Terms,
andTechniques section of the PhotoMAX Online User’s Guide
(the software online Help). For a detailed list of camera
specifications, see the PhotoMAX FUN! 620 Digital Camera
Specifications section of the PhotoMAX Online User’s Guide.
Turning the Camera On and Off
Turn the camera on (a). The camera
emits a click, the LCD status display
(e) turns on, and the green power/
status indicator (b) is lit.
If the green power/status indicator is
not lit, make sure the batteries are
loaded properly and do not need
replacing.
Note: To turn the camera off, press and hold the power button (a) until
the green power/status indicator (b) turns off.

Polaroid PhotoMAX FUN! 620 Digital Camera User’s Manual 5
Note: Replace all four batteries when the low-battery indicator turns
on, the LCD displays the low-battery message (bL), or the LCD
status display does not turn on.
Do not mix old and new batteries, batteries of different types, or
batteries from different manufacturers. High-capacity super-
alkaline batteries provide longer battery life in digital cameras.
Taking Photos
1Turn the camera on (a). The
green power/status indicator (b)
is lit.
2Stand at least 3 feet (1 m) from
your subject.
Note: For best results, take
photos outdoors or
indoors in a brightly lit
room.
3Before you look through the viewfinder, point the camera toward
your subject. If you see a low-light warning message (LL) on the
LCD status display (e), add light (or move to a brighter location).

If you still want to take a low-light photo without adding light or
moving to a brighter location, hold the camera very steady or attach
it to a tripod (using the tripod mount), due to the increased
exposure time required. Under low light conditions, photo quality
may be reduced.
4Frame your subject within the yellow lines that are visible in the
viewfinder (c).
5Hold the camera steady and press and hold the shutter button (d)
until the camera beeps. (Moving the camera before you hear the
beeps may blur the photo.)
The power/status indicator blinks while the photo is processed, and
the picture counter in the LCD status display (e) increases by one.
Note: When the camera’s 1 MB of internal memory is full (after about
15 photos), the LCD status display shows the memory-full
message (FL) and the camera issues three quick warning beeps. If
you press the shutter button, the camera again issues three quick
beeps, but takes no more photos.
Note: The camera does not have removable memory. When memory is
full, transfer photos into your computer (page 10) and then erase
them from the camera’s memory (pages 8 and 16).

Using the Self-timer
The self-timer is useful for giving you time to also get into the photo.
1Tu rn the c am er a o n ( a).
2Set the camera into position to take a photo.
Note: Using a tripod is recommended. A tripod mount is on the
bottom of the camera. Or place the camera on a flat surface.
3Look through the viewfinder (b) to
compose the photo.
4Press the self-timer button (c). The
camera beeps for 15 seconds, the
beep speeds up and then stops just
before the camera takes the photo.
Note: You do not need to press the
shutter button to take a self-
timed photo.
Note: To cancel the self-timer, press the power button to turn the
camera off.
