To make self-timer photos without flash,
first activate the self-timer, then press the
flash button.
If you change your mind, you can cancel
the self-timer by pressing the self-timer
button again.
Double Exposure
Express yourself in more ways than one
with the Double Exposure feature, which
allows you to combine two images in one
photo. Press the self-timer button twice to
enable double exposure mode. The display
will flash '1' until the first shot is taken, then
flash '2' until the second shot is taken.
Flash
Double tap to disable flash until the camera is
powered off.
Exposure compensation (Trim EV)
For the more experienced photographers,
the camera has an exposure compensation
mode. This mode allows you to make your
photo brighter or darker. This might be to
intentionally under- or over-expose, or could
be to compensate for scenes with atypical
distribution of light and dark elements, such
as a landscape with a bright sky or subject
with a contrasting background.
+½ EV and -½ EV settings are available
which make your photos slightly brighter
or darker respectively. To access the Trim
EV mode, hold the flash button down for
one second. A small line will appear in the
display. Tapping the flash button cycles
through +½ EV → Normal EV → -½ EV. When
you have chosen your EV setting, press
the shutter button as you normally would.
Remember: the flash is on during this time
unless you turned it off previously. After
two seconds, the screen will alternate
displaying the film count and EV setting.
Charging
Above the Micro USB slot sits the battery level
indicator LED to let you know what your battery
level is. To check the camera's battery level,
turn the camera on and look at the battery level
indicator LED in relation to this table.

Cleaning
To clean the lens, use a microfiber cloth
designed for that purpose. This will ensure
that you do not scratch the lens or leave
behind any strands that may impact the
quality of your photos.
Spotted marks on your photographs?
Dirty rollers could be one of the reasons.
When you take a Polaroid photograph, the
film goes through two metal rollers. This is
where the developer paste is spread between
the negative and positive components of the
photo before it exits through the film door.
If these rollers are dirty or just a little uneven,
the chemistry will not spread evenly across
the photograph and you get small marks.
