    What to do if recorded pictures are not saved in memory on my Polaroid a520 Digital Camera?

      If recorded pictures are not being saved, the camera may be powering off before the save operation is complete, or you might be removing the memory card prematurely. If the low battery indicator is on, replace the batteries as soon as possible. Also, do not remove the memory card before the save operation is complete.

      The image might not be recorded for several reasons: the camera is turned off, the flash unit is charging, or the memory is full. Ensure the camera is on, wait until the flash unit finishes charging, or delete images you no longer need or use another memory card.

      If there is no response from the camera while pressing any buttons, the LCD screen may be frozen, or the camera is hanged. Remove and re-install the battery or batteries to reset the Polaroid Digital Camera. Your valuable data stored in the camera will not be lost.
