I put one of the plastic halves on upside down so now the Polaroid logo is on the back of the camera and now it won't open! How do I make them open?

VERY CAREFULLY! In truth, I would think you would have to manage to work it apart as gently as possible. I've not done this and am not willing to do so to find out. The sliders can fit rather tightly even when done correctly, so just do the best you can. Maybe you can help using a very small flat screwdriver to work the catches apart. It's only plastic so be gentle. Good Luck! One other thing, are both the locking catches on the same side? If not, it doesn't matter whether the logo is on the back or front, it works either way. they just fit very snugly.

You should use a hex key. I was able to tighten it by hand but it would be more secure with the key. Alternatively, You can just use the normal screw that comes with the camera. Not sure why they felt the need to change it up here because I found that the screw works just fine.

If the glass of the camera broke, then yes, you can just pop the new glass in with a little adhesive strip, or the remaining sticky if you did not scrape it out yet. That is exactly what I did.

Hi Emily, it could be you need a new battery or to take it to camera store that fixes them.and have them check it for you. Good luck

Sharon, this happened to me as well during the warranty period so I sent it to Panasonic and they fixed it for free. It is a cheapy plastic shutter window for such a nice camera. Good luck!

It is NOT simple; due to the waterproof feature the housing is very tight.Hold the camera in your left hand with your thumb on the raised letters CEFC ( thus the switch that moves the mode from portrait to landscape will be towards your body; and the lens of the camera should be facing to your right). Press down with medium force and with your right hand slide the battery compartment latch while moving your left thumb forward. Once you have replaced the batteries or MICROSD memory card securely slide the cover back. Make sure the cover is SECURE. Wiggle it about back and forth etc to be sure. If ANY water enters this area the camera could be damaged permanently.

You can always turn the camera ball either clockwise or counterclockwise but is kinda hard specially if the camera is hot (plugged) try to use some rubber cloth or gloves to make it spin, if is not posible unplug the camera and wait until is cool and turn it. In my case I used a damped cloth.

So far as I can tell, the entire body and lenses are plastic. The cover for A/V is soft and pliable. It might be rubber. Somehow I don't think so. You could put on vinyl gloves to open and close it. Loading pics into a computer is the only time you would need to open it. Holding the camera, changing the lenses are fine for you. Try to find a phone number for Nikon and ask. The camera is a step up for me. I'm pleased with the quality. Good luck.

Yes that's easy to do. The 'Polaroid' setting is on the printer not the camera. Beware, I have my suspicions that this item and the paper have been discontinued commercially. Shame.

thanks NAC. This was the problem for mine. I confirmed this by putting the batteries in, closing the door, and holding the plastic tab shut on the battery door. (On my Powershot S1IS there is a plastic tab that slides sideways in order to open the battery door. I dropped the Canon and must have broken this tab somewhere on the inside.) While holding the plastic tab in the locked position I was able to power up. I don't know if I need a new door - I'll try to figure it out.

Yeah the exact same thing happen to me. I hope the lens it's stuck to is not too expensive. Cause the way I chose to remove it was by forcefully twisting it off. If it's a cheap kit lens a little plastic piece will break off. But the lens will work just fine. It won't destroy it, just modify it a little.

Have you tried turning the plastic piece over or upside down? I had to try it a couple of different ways, but it did work in the end.

YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS:1. Check your monitor settings, most have a button to reverse and spin your image on the screen.2. If you don't have that, re-mount your camera upside down or merely rotate the camera in the frame to get the correct orientation.Dan

Turn them straight up and down, then use a small flathead screwdriver to pry it out the first time. I had to use needle nose players to even turn them the first time. After that it opens fine.

You have to remove both pieces from the camera and then install the 2 new pieces good luck.

Hi, sorry to hear that, i have no idea if fixing is needed, but have you checked if it is locked? there is a wheel you can can turn near the shutter relese that might be set to lock and thus you can't use it.hope this is the only issue and that this will solve your problem.
