Repeated spots or bar
pattern
Damaged picture
Subject too dark
Cause
Developer rollers inside the film door
need to be cleaned.
Cause
Picture was shaken back and forth or
bent shortly after it was ejected from
the camera.
Picture was left in the exit slot, and
camera was set down on a table or
other surface.
Cause
Camera's photocell measured the bright
window light, causing the subject to be
too dark.
When a bright source of light (lamplight,
candlelight, etc.) is in the central part of
the scene and in front of the subject, the
camera's photocell will measure the
bright light, causing the subject to be
too dark.
Solution
Open film door in indirect light (do not
remove film). While turning rollers,
clean them with a lint-free cloth damp-
ened with water.
Solution
During first 60 seconds of development,
handle print gently; hold it only by its
wide white border, and do not wave or
bend it.
Remove print from exit slot as soon as it
ejects.
Solution
Reposition subject away from the bright
background.
Move the source of light to one side of
your subject so it is not in the central
part of the scene.
