designedforthatpurpose.Thiswillensure
thatyoudonotscratchthelensorleave
behindanystrandsthatmayimpactthe

Spottedmarksonyourphotographs?
Dirtyrollerscouldbeoneofthereasons.
WhenyoutakeaPolaroidphotograph,the
lmgoesthroughtwometalrollers.Thisis
wherethedeveloperpasteisspreadbetween
thenegativeandpositivecomponentsofthe
photobeforeitexitsthroughthelmdoor.
Iftheserollersaredirtyorjustalittleuneven,
thechemistrywillnotspreadevenlyacross
thephotographandyougetsmallmarks.
Tomakeself-timerphotoswithoutash,

Exposure compensation (Trim EV)
Forthemoreexperiencedphotographers,
thecamerahasanexposurecompensation
mode.Thismodeallowsyoutomakeyour
photobrighterordarker.Thismightbeto
intentionallyunder-orover-expose,orcould
betocompensateforsceneswithatypical
distributionoflightanddarkelements,such
asalandscapewithabrightskyorsubject
withacontrastingbackground.
+½EVand-½EVsettingsareavailable
whichmakeyourphotosslightlybrighter
ordarkerrespectively.ToaccesstheTrim
EVmode,holdtheashbuttondownfor
onesecond.Asmalllinewillappearinthe
display.Tappingtheashbuttoncycles
through+½EV→NormalEV→-½EV.When
youhavechosenyourEVsetting,press
theshutterbuttonasyounormallywould.
Remember:theashisonduringthistime
unlessyouturneditoffpreviously.After
twoseconds,thescreenwillalternate
displayingthelmcountandEVsetting.
Tomakesurethecameraalwaysdisplays
therightlmcount,alwaysnishthelmpack
beforeinsertinganewone.Ifyoudecideto
switchpacksanyway,beawarethatonephoto
willbewastedasitwillbeexposedtolight.
That’swhyeverypackhasadarkslide.

Tips For Making
Great Photos
Natural light
Lightisyourbestfriendwhenitcomesto
instantphotograph,sowerecommendto
alwaysusetheash.However,onasunnyday
outdoors,youdon’tneedtouseyourashat
all.Makesurenottoshoottowardsthesun,
shootwiththesunbehindyouinstead,facing
yoursubjectdirectlyorside-on,togiveyou
abrightandclearpicturewithoutshadowon
yoursubject.Forthebestresultswithoutthe
ash,themostimportantthingtoremember
istokeepyourcameraassteadyaspossible.
Forexample,byholdingyourcamerawithboth
handsandputtingyourelbowsonatable.
Framing
Beawarethatyourphotowillnotexactly
reectwhatyouseethroughtheviewnder.For
subjectscloserthan1.2m(3.93ft)youshould
adjustyouraimslightlyupandtotheleft.
Composition
It’spossibletochangethephotocomposition
afterfocusingonyoursubject.Theshutter
buttonhastwopositions.Firsthalf-pressthe
shutterbutton,thenchangethecomposition
andfullypresstotakethephoto.
