WHAT YOU SHOULD
KNOW ABOUT YOUR FILM
This camera
uses
Polaroid
Land pack
films. At present there are
two:
3000
speed black
and
white, Type 107,
and
75 speed color, Type
108. There
may
be additional types of film in the future.
You must know the film speed num¬
ber, 3000 or
75, to set the
camera
controls correctly
(see
opposite page).
However,
if
you forget the number, just
look
at
the film
instruction
sheet.
The
film speed number describes
how
"fast"
(light sensitive) the
film is.
For example, 75 speed film is fairly
"fast" but
should be used in bright
daylight or with flash for good results.
However, 3000 speed black and
white is 40X
as
"fast" as 75 speed
color
film,
so you can make pictures
with it where there isn't enough
light
to
use
75 speed film. Of course, you
can
use
3000 speed film in daylight
or with flash, too.
The Polaroid
film
pack contains all
the materials
to
make eight
pictures.
For each picture there is a piece of
negative film, a
sheet
of print
paper,
and a thin foil
container
(the pod)
filled with the jelly-like
chemicals
needed
to
develop the picture.
After snapping the picture, you start
development
by
the
simple act of
pulling a piece of paper
out
of the
cam¬
era.
This drags the exposed negative,
a
sheet
of print
paper, and a pod of
chemicals between
two
steel rollers.
The
pressure
of
the rollers
squashes
the
pod,
spreading the chemicals
between the
negative and print
paper
to
form
a
picture "sandwich".
The
picture develops
outside the
camera. After
the
recommended devel¬
opment time
you separate the
sand¬
wich and there is your finished picture.
