Troubleshooting
Difficulty focusing
The ranging lights may be difficult to see when
using the camera in very bright light, or when
photographing very dark subjects. If you have dif-
ficulty seeing the ranging lights:
•
Check that the camera is set for the desired
magnification, and is at the correct distance
from the subject.
•
Check that the film is not outdated.
•
Move the ranging lights to a lighter area on
the subject.
•
Look over the top of the camera, rather than
through the viewfinder.
Camera does not function
The flash and/or LED ranging lights will not func-
tion if the film pack battery is weak or dead.
No image in viewfinder
The magnification selector knob is between set-
tings.
Pictures too light
The camera may be too close to the subject for the
selected magnification. The Lighten/Darken con-
0.2 in. 5mm.
0.1 in. 2.5 mm.
0.07 in. 1.7mm.
trol may be set incorrectly. Very light subjects may
require setting the control toward Darken. There
may be bright ambient light affecting the exposure.
Pictures too dark
The camera may be too far from the subject for the
selected magnification. The Lighten/Darken control
may be set incorrectly. Very dark subjects may
require setting the control toward Lighten.
Subject not sharp
The camera is at the wrong distance from the sub-
ject. (Pictures also will be incorrectly exposed —
too light or too dark.)
Portions of picture out of focus, or
distorted subject
The camera is not parallel to the subject.

Care and Maintenance

Lens care
Avoid touching the lens. To remove dust or finger-
prints, breathe on the lens and wipe it gently with a
clean, soft facial tissue. Do not use silicone-treated
eyeglass tissues.
Temperature
The camera and film are designed for use at temper-
atures of 40–105°F (4–41°C). Store below 75°F
(24°C). Never leave film or a loaded camera in a hot
area (such as the luggage compartment of a car).
Caution
To prevent electric shock, do not remove camera
covers. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer ser-
vicing to the nearest Polaroid Service Center.
