      If the LCD screen does not appear on the screen of the connected television, there might be a problem with the camera-TV connection, the TV setup might be wrong, or the video system might be incompatible. Use the optional video cable to connect the camera to the TV. Consult the TV documentation and put it in its video mode. Select the proper video output system.

      Tiffany BrownSep 9, 2025
      If the color of the playback pictures on your Polaroid Digital Camera differs from the picture on the LCD screen during recording, sunlight or light from another source might be shining directly into the lens. Position the camera so sunlight does not shine directly onto the lens.

    • S
      Scott JohnsonSep 5, 2025
      If the LCD screen image on your Polaroid Digital Camera is out of focus, it might be because you are using macro mode for far subjects or still image mode for near subjects. Set the camera to Still Image mode, or set the camera to Macro mode for subjects this close to the lens: Wide Angle: 0.32 ft~ 2.6 ft (0.1 m ~ 0.8 m) Telephoto: 0.3 ft ~ 2.6 ft (0.09 m ~ 0.8 m).
