To clean the rollers, open the film door
compartment of the camera (the film can
remain in the camera while cleaning) and
grab a soft, damp cloth. Rotate the rollers
by turning the black plastic gear on the
bottom left and wipe the cloth across the
rollers as they move. Make sure the rollers
are dry before you use your camera again.
We recommend that you check the rollers
between every pack of film, and clean them
every 2-3 packs even if they look perfectly
clean.
Troubleshooting
1. My Polaroid Now won't eject my photo
or darkslide.
Make sure your Polaroid Now camera is
charged. The camera's battery level indicator
LED will blink red if it doesn't have enough
charge to operate. If this is the case, you
should recharge your camera then try again.
Still having trouble? Check how many
photos you have left. Hold down the power
button for two seconds and the film counter
display will indicate how many shots you
have left in the film pack. If the LED shows '0'
this means that there are no shots left in the
film pack.
2. The flash doesn't fire when I take a photo.
The Polaroid Now automatically turns the
flash on when you power on the camera.
If it's not firing, press the flash button once
until you see the lightning bolt illuminate.
When taking photos make sure you don't
accidentally press the flash button.
3. My photo turned out too dark.
Polaroid cameras love light, so the more light
you have the better.
Make sure you are not shooting towards
the sun. When shooting towards sunlight,
the excessive light may cause the camera to
overcompensate when exposing the image,
creating an image that is too dark to expose
your subject properly.
If you're taking photos inside and you
don't want to use the flash, make sure you
find another light source – or use the flash.
The flash is also useful at night-time, dusk,
and cloudy days.
4. My photo turned out blurry or fuzzy.
Make sure you are at least 55cm (1.8ft) away
from your subject. When shooting, make sure
you hold the camera steady, especially in
low light conditions, and have a strong light
source to illuminate your subject.
5. The film counter display shows the wrong
number.
The display resets to '8' every time a cassette
is inserted. If a part-used cassette is inserted,
the camera will display '8' and countdown as
each photo is taken. When you next insert a
full film pack, the counter will correctly show
8 remaining photos.
6. I took the first shot of a double exposure
photo, but I changed my mind.
Switch off your camera, press and hold down
the shutter button. Switch on the camera
again and the film count will display "-".
Continue to hold the shutter button for over
10 seconds until the film is ejected.
