WHAT
YOU
SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
YOUR FILM
This
camera
uses Polaroid Land
pack
films. At
present
there
are
two: 3000
speed black and
white,
Type 107, and
75
speed
color, Type
108. There may
be
additional
types of f ilm in the f
uture.
You must know the film speed num-
ber, 3000 or 75, to set the
camera
controls correctly.
However,
if
you
forget the
n umber,
just
look at
the
f ilm instruction sheet.
The film speed number
describes
how
"fast"
(light
sensitive)
the f ilm is.
For
example, 75 speed film
is tairly
"fast" but should be used in
bright
daylight or with flash
for
good
results.
However,
3000 speed black
and
white
is 4OX
as
"fast" as75 speed
color
film,
so
you
can
make
pictures
with
it
where there isn't enough
light to use
75
speed
film. Of
course,
you
can
use 3000 speed
film
in daylight
or
with
flash, too.
The
Polaroid
film
pack
contains all
the materials to
make eight
pictures.
For
each
picture
there
is
a
piece
of
negative
film, a sheet
of
print paper,
and a thin
foil container
(the pod)
filled
with the
jelly-like
chemicals
needed
to
develop
the
picture.
After snapping the
picture,
you
start
development by the simple act
of
pull.
ing a
piece
of
paper
out of the
camera.
This drags the exposed negative, a
sheet of
print paper,
and a
pod
of
chemicals
between
two
steel
rollers.
The
pressure
of
the rollers
squashes
the
pod,
spreading the
chemicals
between the
negative and
print paper
to form
a
picture
"sandwich".
The
picture
develops outside
the
camera.
After
the recommended devel-
opment
time
you
separate the
sandwich
and there
is
your
f inished
picture.
