Polaroid instructions?! Anonymous
Dear /p/hotographers,
I just found my dads old polaroid.
It has no film, I'll have to buy that later today I guess.
But, what does the middle slide do? Is it something with light sensitivity??? How does that effect the photos etc. And than, the button on the side, which should be the release, has two,... uhm, well layers? What do both do?

Thanks in advance! (google is only giving me all these buy sites :( )

The slide on the left of the photo is the focus, the one in the center of the camera is the zoom. not quite sure what you're talking about with the release though....

better hurry. Polaroid announced they're going to stop making film next year.

who produces 600 type film besides Polaroid?

Polaroid said they were open to licensing their technology to other companies. No one has stepped up. I wouldn't hold out hope.

Fuji makes instant film for land cameras, but they don't make 600 film, to my knowledge.

bump for unclearness about centerslide function.
it has a black and a white arrow both pointing away from eachother.
you can see either one of 'm, or both then looking through the seaker, depending on how they're set.

.... wut?
thanks in advance!

Surprised you didn't just Google for the manual.

It's to lighten/darken the photo.
