Getting started
1. Open the box and check you have
the following items:
01 01 Polaroid Now+ camera
02 Micro USB charging cable
03 Quick Start Guide
04 Lens filter kit (5 filters + 1 lens cover)
05 Neck strap
06 Safety & Compliance booklet
2. Charge the camera.
For safe transportation, the Polaroid Now+
won't be fully charged when you receive it.
To charge it, plug the micro USB end of the
charging cable into the side of the camera, and
the USB-A side into a USB wall charger (5V/1A).
We don't recommend charging via a laptop.
The battery level indicator LED will blink
while the camera is plugged in and charging.
This LED will turn off once the camera is fully
charged. A full charge through a wall socket
takes about 2 hours. A fully charged Polaroid
Now+ will have enough power to shoot 15
packs of film, depending on usage. Remember
to turn off the camera when you're not using it
to save battery life.
3. Attach the neck strap.

How to take
your first photo
1. Turn on the Polaroid Now+ camera.
Press the ON | OFF button until the film
counter display lights up. This display will show
how many photos are left. It should be at '0'
because there is no film in the camera.
2. Insert the film pack.
Press the film door button and pull the door
open. Hold the film with the darkslide facing up.
Slide the thin end of the cassette in first with
the tab facing towards you. Push the cassette
all the way into the camera until it clicks. Leave
the pull tab on, as you will need that later to
remove the empty film pack.
Close the film door until it clicks.
The darkslide covered by the film shield
will eject. Do not pull on the film shield.
Remove the darkslide and allow the film
shield to roll back in. This retractable shield
is designed to protect photos from light
as they develop, so don't remove it. If the
darkslide has not ejected, remove the film
and reinsert it.
To ensure the camera displays the correct
number of photos, always finish the film
before inserting a fresh pack. If you decide
to switch the film pack anyway, be aware that
this will expose all the photos to light, and
they will be unusable.
You're now ready to take your first photo.
3. Aim the camera at your subject.
Make sure you are at least 45cm (1.47ft) away
from your subject.
The Polaroid Now+ uses a viewfinder located
on the left side of the lens barrel. To aim at your
subject, align your eye with the viewfinder barrel
and use the image you see to help compose your
shot. Be aware that your photo will not reflect
exactly what you see through the viewfinder. For
subjects closer than 1.2m (5.24ft), adjust your
aim slightly up and to the left.
It's possible to focus on your subject, and then
recompose your frame. To do this, half-press the
shutter button to lock focus and exposure. Adjust
your composition, and then fully press the shutter
button to take the photo. Be careful not to cover
the flash or the photo eject slot with your fingers.
4. Press the shutter button.
The photo will eject from the slot at the front
of the camera. You will see that the photo will
be covered with a film shield to protect it from
light. Please don't pull on the film shield.
5. Remove the photo.
Leave your photo under the film shield for
about 5 seconds. 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. And no matter what
that song says, don't shake the photo! Check
the back of the film packaging for the correct
developing times.
6. Turn the camera off.
Press the ON | OFF button to turn off the
Polaroid Now+.
Connecting to the app
With the Polaroid Now+, you can unlock
extra creative tools inside the Polaroid app.
Download the Polaroid Originals app to your
mobile phone from the Apple App Store or
Google Play store. Switch on Bluetooth®
wireless technology. Open the app and tap
'Now+' from the menu. A permission message
will pop up. Tap 'OK' to confirm. The +Button
on the camera will turn blue to indicate that it's
now connected to your phone. The connection
is made through the app, so there's no need to
pair the camera with your phone. This means
the Polaroid Now+ camera will not appear in
your phone's list of Bluetooth® devices.
The Polaroid Now+ camera is always ready
to connect to the mobile app. Check the
connection status with the +Button.

Adding a lens filter
Add stars, contrast, or color to your
photography with the lens filter kit. To add a
colored filter, press it over the lens. For the
starburst and red vignette filters, turn the filter
until the small notch aligns with the light meter
at the bottom of the lens. The filter will then
click into place.
