Tips to take great photos
Lightisyourbestfriendwhenitcomesto
analoginstantphotography,sowerecommend
toalmostalwaysusetheash.ThePolaroid
Now+ashreaches2m(6.56ft),soifyour
subjectisfurther,yourashphotomayturn
outtoodark.
Ifyou’reoutdoorsandyoursubjectis
beyondtheashrange,werecommend
keepingtheashoff.Thiswillpreventthe
camerafromadjustingitsaperture,resulting
inanunderexposedphoto.
Ifit’sasunnydayoutdoors,letthesunbe
your light source. Position yourself so the sun
isbehindyou,faceyoursubjectside-onto
avoidashadow,turntheashoff,andkeep
thecameraassteadyaspossible.
Charging
Above the micro USB slot sits the battery level
indicatorLED.Tocheckthebatterylevel,turn
thecameraon,andmatchtheLEDwiththe

thecamera,andtheUSB-AsideintoaUSB
wallcharger(5V/1A).Wedon’trecommend

Cleaning
WhenyoutakeaPolaroidphotograph,
thephotoispushedthroughtwometal
rollers.Thisiswherethedeveloperpasteis
spreadbetweenthenegativeandpositive
components of the photograph. If these rollers
aredirty,thechemistrywillnotspreadevenly,
andcancausesmallmarksonyourdeveloped
photo.
Whenyourcamerahasnolm,turnitoff
andopenthelmdoor.Lookforthesetwo
metalrollersnearthelmejectslot.Position
asoft,dampclothovertherollers.Rotatethe
rollers by turning the black plastic gear. Wipe
the cloth across the rollers as they move. Be
carefulthattheclothdoesn’tcauseajam.
