Load 600 Film In A Polaroid Instant Camera

The Polaroid instant camera is a fun way to take pictures.


The Polaroid instant camera is a film camera that immediately produces a developed picture, allowing the photographer to see a film image without darkroom processing. The type 600 film was produced in the 1980s, and continued to be produced by Polaroid until 2009. In October 2008, The Impossible Project "saved the last Polaroid production plant for Integral Instant film in Enschede (Netherlands) and started to re-invent and re-produce a new instant film for traditional Polaroid Cameras," says The Impossible Project website.








Instructions


1. Swing up the top of the Polaroid instant camera to open it.


2. Open the film door by pushing the rectangular button forward in the direction of the arrow. The button can be found on the side of the camera under the shutter release. The film door should swing open easily.


3. Hold the film pack by the edges between your fingers so the side with the pull tab is facing away from the camera. The metal contacts should be on the bottom of the film pack.


4. Push the film pack into the film door until you hear a click.








5. Close the film door. The camera should release the paper film cover. Discard the paper film cover.
