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 important to understand the two options for taking photos to avoid wasting film:

  1. Photo with Flash: Press the larger orange button to take a photo with flash.

  2. Photo without Flash: Press 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 action will open the film door, revealing the type of film required.

A unique feature of the Polaroid Sun 600 is that the battery is built into the film cartridge, eliminating the need for a separate battery. However, this means that film must be loaded to check if the camera is functioning properly.

Film Type

The Polaroid Sun 600 uses Polaroid 600 Film, available in both color and black and white. For those interested, a link is provided below to purchase 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.

Taking a Test Picture

To take a test picture with flash, press the larger orange button. It's important to note that with Polaroids, the photo should not be shaken after taking it. Instead, place it in a dark location and wait 10 to 15 minutes for it to fully develop.
