Dirtyrollerscouldbeoneofthereasons.
WhenyoutakeaPolaroidphotograph,the

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,

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

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.
