Polaroid 350 User Manual

CHECK
THE
TEMPERATURE!
IT'S
IMPORTANT
Cold
and
heat
have a
great
effect
on
the
way
your
picture
develops
and
on
the
print
quality.
Even
moderate
cold
can
ruin
your
pictures unless
you
take
precautions.
The
important
factor
is
the
temperature
of the
camera
and
film
at the
time
you're
developing
the
picture.
A
loaded
camera
carried
outdoors
in
cold
weather
for
half
an
hour
gets
thoroughly
chilled.
lf
you
then
enter
a warm
house
and
a
few
minutes
later
shoot
a
flash
color
picture
the
results
are
likely
to
be bad.
lt
takes
a
long
time for
a cold
camera
and film
to
warm
uP.
However,
if
camera
and
film
are
indoors
and
warm,
you
can
step
outside
to snap
the children
in
the
snow,
step
back
in
again
in
a minute
and
develop
the
picture
normally'
Inioolweather
developmenttimes
may
haveto
be
adjusted
according
to
the
temperature.
The instruction
sheet
with
each
film
pack
contains
detailed
information
about
develop-
ment
times
and
temperatures.
Be sure
to read
these recom-
mendations;they
may
change
from
time
to
time.
In
very
hot weather
there
is
a
greater tendency
for
chemi'
cals
to be squeezed
out
of the
edges
of
the
picture assembly
as
you
pull
the
yellow
tab
to
begin
development'
lf
these
chemicals
collect
on
the steel
rollers
they
can
cause
defects
in
your
prints.
So, when
it's
hot,
be extra
carefulto
keepthe
rollers
clean
(page
32).
HOW
TEMPERATURE
AFFECTS
COLOR
FILM
The
normal
development
times
for
color
film
are set for
temperatures
of
75'F
(24"C)
and
warmer.
When
it's
cooler
the
action of
the
developer
chemicals
slows
down
and
you
must
develop for
a longer
time.
See the
film instruction
sheet
for
more
details.
When the
temperature
gets
to 65'F
(18'C)
and
below,
the
chemical
action
is so sluggish
that
color
pictures
won't
de'
velop
well without
help. That
help
is the
Cold-Clip
(page
30).
Color
pictures
developed
in
cold
weather
without
the Cold-
Clip
will
be
dark, with
muddy colors.
As
a
general
rule,
use the
Gold-Clip
whenever
it's
too cool
to
be
comfortable
in
a
short-sleeved
shirt.
You'll
get
your
best colors
in
pictures made in
pleasantly
warm
weather.
But when
it
is terribly
hot
your
prints
may
show
weak
colors
and
have a
pinkish
tint overall.
HOW
TEMPERATURE
AFFECTS
BLACK
AND
WHITE FILM
The
normal
development
times
are set
for
temperatures
of
7O"F
(21"C)
and
above.
As a
rule,
if
it's
too
cool to
be Gom-
fortable
in a short-sleeved
shirt,
develop
pictures
for a
longer-than-normal
time.
Time
and
temperature
recommen-
dations
may
change;
see
your
film
instructions
for
details.
Don't
use the
Gold-Clip
with
black
and white
film'
