      If there is no response when you press the shutter button, it could be that the camera is processing an image, or the internal memory or SMC card is full. Wait for the process to complete before taking another image. Alternatively, delete some images from the internal memory or SMC card.

    What to do if I cannot upload images from the internal memory of my Polaroid PDC 2070 Digital Camera to my PC?
    • H
      Holly SotoSep 12, 2025
      If you cannot upload images from the internal memory to your PC, it might be because an SMC card is inserted. The memory card has a higher priority than the internal memory for image storage, image transfer, or deletion.
