I just purchased the a300 polaroid digital camera for my daughter. It says "insert card." However, the directions say that an sd card is potional. The camera has a 4x16 mb SDRAM memory. I don't know how to be able to start taking pictures without going back and getting the "optional" SD card. help please!
This camera comes with built-in flash memory for storing pictures and video clips.
You can expand the memory using a SD card (up to 1GB).
The camera senses whether a memory card is inserted or not, and automatically saves pictures and video clips accordingly.
If you do not use a memory card, the pictures will be saved to the internal memory of the camera. If a memory card is inserted, the pictures and videos will be saved to the memory card.
So you can use the camera without inserting the memory card.
Hope this solves your problem. Thanks for using FixYa.
I have the same exact problem, but I can't even get the menu to work to bring up that selection list.I have the same exact problem, but I can't even get the menu to work to bring up that selection list.
