• After you have pressed the snapshot button, the LED next to the lens on the back of the
camera will blink rapidly while the camera is adjusting for the light level and capturing
the image. The camera (and the subjects, if possible) should not move while the LED is
flashing. Once the LED goes out, the camera has completed taking the snapshot.
• To familiarize yourself with the three settings of the focus ring and what focus range
each setting has, you can adjust the focus ring and observe the results in real-time
within WebCam Go Control while the camera is attached to your PC.
• The camera adjusts for light sensitivity based on the overall light level of the scene. If
there is a particularly bright light behind your subject, the subject may appear too dark
in the snapshot. When taking photos of people outdoors, make sure that sunlight hits
them from the side (preferred) or from the front. If your photo is a bit too bright or too
dark, you can adjust the brightness and contrast later with Polaroid PhotoMAX.
• The optical viewfinder shows an approximate representation of the edges of the image
that will be captured in memory, but as you are not looking at the lens, it will not be
exact. To minimize the chance of cutting off a person or object at the edge of the frame,
step back a bit away from your subject so that there is a bit of distance between the
subject and the edge of the frame. Later, if the image is off-center or there is a bit too
much background on the top or edges for your liking, you can use the Polaroid
PhotoMAX software to trim or crop the image.
• When taking photos of a tall, narrow subject, you can turn the camera sideways. Later,
you can use Polaroid PhotoMAX to rotate the image on your PC screen.
