Polaroid Camera PDC640


Question Posted Friday August 4 2006, 3:08 pm

Hey i have a polaroid camera PDC640 and whenever i try to load pictures from the camera. It wont load.. it just freezes. Once in a blue moon it will let me. I clicked on the little help button on the software program and i did everything it said and it still wont let me load them. Everythign else works but that. This is what you have to do to load them: open the program, click get picture, from camera, and however many pictures you have on your camera is suppose to pop up (the pictures) but it wont pop up. Ive been trying forever! Does anybody know what to do. Any advice is appreciated. I rate.. Thanks a bunch!

Hello there,

From the manual:

Problem:

PhotoMAX
software does
not see the PDC
640 Digital
Camera.

Cause:

• The power to the
camera was not
turned on before you
powered on the
computer.

• The serial cable is
not connected
properly to the
computer.

Solution:

• Ensure that you turn
on the camera and
then your turn on
your computer.

Ensure that the AC
power adapter is
connected to the
power socket on the
camera and to an AC
power outlet.

• Connect one end of
the serial cable to the
RS232 serial port on
the back of the
computer and
connect the other end
of the cable to the
serial cable port on
the PDC 640. Make
sure the cables are
attached firmly to the
camera and the back
of the computer

... I don't know what to tell you other than that.


I am sorry this went unanswered so long. We have instituted a new system, by which we hope never to have this happen again.

This camera is almost 5 years old at this point. With that in mind, I am hoping that you have since replaced it with something that shoots nicer pictures and doesn't eat batteries like they were free. ;-)
