Opening the Camera

To begin, open the top of the camera to access the film compartment.

Taking Photos: Flash vs. No Flash

Before loading the film, it's essential to understand the two options for taking photos to avoid wasting film:

  1. Photo with Flash: Hit the larger black button to take a photo with flash.

  2. Photo without Flash: Hit the smaller button to take a photo without flash.

Loading the Film

To load the film, push forward on the small button located on the lower side of the camera. This will open the film door, revealing the type of film required.

A notable feature of the Polaroid One Step Flash is that the battery is integrated into the film cartridge, so there is no need for a separate battery. However, this means that film must be loaded to check if the camera is operational.

Film Type

The Polaroid One Step Flash uses Polaroid 600 Film, available in both color and black and white. A link is provided below for those interested in purchasing the same film used in this guide.

Adjusting Exposure

Exposure can be adjusted with the slider on the front of the camera:

  • Move the slider towards the white arrow for a brighter photo.

  • Move the slider towards the black arrow for a darker photo.

Focusing

  • Use the 2 to 4-foot focus range to focus on closer subjects.

  • Use the 4 to infinity focus range to focus on subjects farther away.

Taking a Test Picture

To take a test picture, press the appropriate button based on whether flash is needed. Remember, with Polaroid photos, it's best not to shake the picture after taking it. Instead, place it in a dark area and wait 10 to 15 minutes for it to fully develop.
