Function
A disposable camera uses a process that is faster and more convenient then regular film. Because the film is loaded at photo factories like Kodak and Fujifilm, an extra step is removed and threats of film exposure disappear from their use.
Film Canister
The roll of film is inserted into a secure holding on the right of the disposable camera. All of the film is feed out of the film canister, past the picture opening, and wrapped around a plastic cylinder on the other side. Essentially, when a photo is taken, you are rewinding the camera as you move the dial for the next pictures.
Picture Taking
The film process may cause the first and last pictures not to process, so do not take important pictures for these types. Make sure you rewind the dial fully every time and all the way when the pictures have completed.
Batteries
Inside the actual camera packaging are the simple elements required to operate the camera. Often times there is a battery casing featuring one AA battery to operate the camera and the flash. A small ridge on the side or the bottom of the camera is used by the photo developer to open the camera and remove the film. You can easily do this process yourself and save the AA battery for other uses.
Waterproof Cameras
A waterproof disposable camera operates using the same functions as a regular disposable camera except for the casing. The camera is held in an airtight rubber sealed bond that prevents any water leakage within the camera. This seal is also removed using a flat-head screwdriver, and the rest of the process remains the same.
