1Introduction

The Polaroid PDC-2000 Digital Camera captures high-quality

color pictures electronically. PDC-2000 pictures contain up to

16.7 million colors and can be saved as high resolution

(600x800 pixels) or super-high resolution (1200x1600 pixels)

pictures.

The PDC-2000 has all the features of an automatic compact

35mm camera, including automatic exposure, electronic flash

and automatic focus. These features produce correct

exposure, accurate colors and sharp focus under a great

variety of picture-taking conditions. Manual overrides are

also provided for unusual conditions.

Using the Macintosh or Microsoft Windows software

provided with the camera, you can view the pictures taken

with the PDC-2000 camera and transfer them to the

computer. You can then use an image-processing application

to manipulate, enhance, save and print the pictures.

When the camera is connected to your computer, you can

control the camera and take pictures via the computer

keyboard or mouse. This is useful when the camera is used in

a stationary setup.

Introduction 1

Typical PDC-2000 workflow

To help you understand the full capabilities of the PDC-2000

camera, a typical workflow sequence is presented below.

After you become familiar with PDC-2000 features, you can

use the camera in other ways to best suit your imaging needs.

1Take pictures with the camera (Chapter 3).

2Connect the camera to your computer (Chapter 2).

3Use your computer to view the pictures stored in the camera

(Chapter 4 for Macintosh, Chapter 5 for PCs).

4Select the pictures you want to keep and transfer them to the

computer (Chapter 4 or 5).

5Edit or enhance any of the pictures using an image-processing

application such as Adobe Photoshop. (See instructions with

the application.)

6Print the picture or use it in another application, such as a

desktop publishing application. (See instructions with the

application.)

As an alternative sequence for studio or other stationary

setups, you can leave the PDC-2000 camera permanently

attached to the computer. With the camera connected to the

computer, you can operate the camera controls and take

pictures using the computer’s display, keyboard or mouse.

System requirements

Using the PDC-2000 software to view and manipulate

pictures taken with the PDC-2000 camera requires the

following hardware and software. If you do not have the

required configuration, contact your Polaroid dealer.
