Polaroid SX-70 How-To

HOLDING
Hold the camera in your left
hand, thumb and fingers behind
the hinge (A). Your fingers
should
not block the exit slot (B) where
the picture comes out of the
camera, or touch the
bellows (C)
where any pressure might inter-
fere with movement of the mech-
anism inside the camera.
Hold your right hand like this,
thumb and index finger extended,
other fingers
curled tightly into
the
palm of your hand.
Put your thumb behind the shut-
ter, without touching the
bellows
(C) , and put your index finger on
the focus wheel , as shown.

Raise the camera, holding it so
your eye is about an inch from
the viewfinder, and
look through
the center of the eyepiece.
You should see a square black
frame around the scene.
If you don't see all four corners of
the frame, move the camera
slightly until you do.
The split circle you see in the
viewfinder is a focusing aid,
which is
explained on page 12.
