Special Features - Polaroid NOW User Manual

To make sure the camera always displays
the right film count, always finish the film pack
before inserting a new one. If you decide to
switch packs anyway, be aware that one photo
will be wasted as it will be exposed to light.
That's why every pack has a darkslide.
3. Set the flash mode
In any situation where you are not shooting in
bright, direct sunlight, we recommend using
the flash to achieve the best shots. That's why
the flash will trigger by default every time you
use the Polaroid Now.
Shooting without the flash can give you
some beautiful results as well, but remember
you need another source of light to make sure
your photo will turn out. To shoot without
the flash, press the flash button on the back
panel once.
After taking the photo the flash will be
reenabled. To disable the flash until you
power off the camera, double press the
flash button.
4. Position yourself
Make sure you are at least 55cm (1.8ft) away
from your subject.
5. Aim at your subject
The Polaroid Now uses a viewfinder located
on the left side of the lens barrel. To aim at
your subject, simply align your eye with the
viewfinder barrel and use the image you see
to compose your shot.
6. Press the shutter button
Press the shutter button to take your photo.
The photo will be ejected from the slot at
the front of the camera as soon as you let go
of the shutter button. You will see that the
photo will be covered with a film shield to
protect it from light.
7. Remove the photo
Gently lift the film shield so it rolls back into the
camera. Remove the photo and place it face
down to continue shielding it from light as it
develops. Don't shake it! Check the back of your
film packet for the correct developing times.
8. Turn the camera off
Press the ON | OFF button for ½ a second to
turn off the Polaroid Now.
Tips For Making
Great Photos
Natural light
Light is your best friend when it comes to
instant photograph, so we recommend to
always use the flash. However, on a sunny day
outdoors, you don't need to use your flash at
all. Make sure not to shoot towards the sun,
shoot with the sun behind you instead, facing
your subject directly or side-on, to give you
a bright and clear picture without shadow on
your subject. For the best results without the
flash, the most important thing to remember
is to keep your camera as steady as possible.
For example, by holding your camera with both
hands and putting your elbows on a table.
Framing
Be aware that your photo will not exactly
reflect what you see through the viewfinder. For
subjects closer than 1.2m (3.93ft) you should
adjust your aim slightly up and to the left.
Composition
It's possible to change the photo composition
after focusing on your subject. The shutter
button has two positions. First half-press the
shutter button, then change the composition
and fully press to take the photo.

Special Features

Self-Timer
Get yourself in the photograph with the self-
timer. Tap the self-timer button once. The LED
will light up orange, indicating that the self-timer
is activated. Once you have framed your photo,
press the shutter button. The orange LED will
blink to indicate the self-timer countdown. You
have 9 seconds before the photo is taken.
