Film Selector - Polaroid ProPack Repair Manual

Film Selector ( Refer to Figure 1-9)
The ProPack has a film selector on top of the shutter housing which is used to establish the
proper lens aperture for the type of film being used. There are three settings:
o "80" for color film;
o "3000" for black & white film;
o "3000ER" for black & white film in low light
(In the Reporter and EE100, the color setting is labeled "75").
Although all of the camera models have three settings, the apertures which result differ. The
following table shows the apertures resulting from the various film selector settings:
Film
Selector
Setting
75/80
3000
3000 ER
You can see that the 3000ER setting in ProPack results in an f 18 aperture versus the f 9.2 aper-
ture in Reporter and EE100. The f 18 aperture improves the sharpness of pictures taken in this
mode.
