20 Most Recent Polaroid A515 Digital Camera Questions & Answers

There are usually 2 places that an sd-card can be inserted in a digital camera - Inside near the battery under the door, or a separate flap on the bottom of the camera labeled SD.

• If there isn't a slot specifically for an SD-card on the bottom of your camera, open the battery door.
  

Try and locate a very thin rectangular ****. Once you have found the slot, take your sd card and push it inside the slot until you hear a click, that means it's securely in place.

Hi

The Polaroid A515 digital camera can only use SD cards upto 1Gb. if you are trying to use a SanDisk 2Gb SD or a higher capacity SDHC card you will be disappointed.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

Use a memory card reader if you use computer to format your memory card. go to my computer look for the icon of your memory it will display if you insert your card reader. right click to the icon choice format that all.

If you use a memory card in the camera. just get a card reader and use it to download to a folder you create on your desktop.

Has it been dropped or wet or spilled on? Was it reeeaaally cheap? Go back to the store and swap it if it isn't damaged. It might just be a manufacturer's defect...

Your camera uses SD memory cards. On one edge is a slider switch: towards the electrical contacts is the unlocked position and away from them is locked.

Unfortunately, the switch is easy to move accidentally and it's also easy for it to appear to be unlocked when it isn't. Like any mechanical component it's also possible for the switch to fail.

If the switch is in the locked position then slide it fully to the unlocked position; if it's already in the unlocked position, slide it fully to the locked position and then fully back again. There should be a soft click at each end of the switch travel, if not then the switch is definitely faulty or obstructed.

If that fails, then try looking closely at the switch in both positions to ensure that there is no debris obstructing its movement, if not then check the electrical contacts to ensure that they're completely clean and grease-free. Don't touch the contacts with your bare skin, but if the contacts need cleaning then a cotton bud (Q-tip) moistened with a little alcohol or methylated spirits can be used to clean them.

If you still have no fix, then try a different SD card as yours may have an irreparable faulty switch. If the card does prove to be faulty then on most major brands you may be able to return them to the manufacturer for exchange: I've found that they will often do this on a goodwill basis even if the card is out of warranty.

If all options regarding the memory card are unsuccessful, then you have a faulty camera and further remedies require either a professional repair or replacement of the camera.

I hope that my answer has been of use and has given you additional options to fix your problem. Please take a moment to rate my reply.

The camera has a very limited storage space on itself. It probably isnt saving the pictures on the card because the card is write protected (probably on accident)
just pull out the card and on it is a tiny little switch. just push that into the next position and it is no longer write protected. the write protection is there to prevent you from losing your photos, to put more photos on it you will have to deactive the protection with that switch, its usually white colored

The polariod a515 has a microphone built in
but it does not have a full speaker, just a little one thats only good for blips and boops.
so unless you have sound disabled it will not play back the sound for you

If you have a SD card in the camera i suggest just pulling that out and plugging it into an SD card reader and pulling up the pictures that way
thats the easiest way of getting the pictures out
