English 1200 Repeated spots or bar pattern Cause Developer rollers inside the film door need to be cleaned. Solution Open film door in indirect light (do not remove film). While turning rollers, clean them with a lint-free cloth dampened with water. Damaged picture Cause Picture was shaken back and forth or bent shortly after it was ejected from the camera. Picture was left in the exit slot, and camera was set down on a table or other surface. Solution During first 60 seconds of development, handle print gently; hold it only by its wide white border, and do not wave or bend it. Remove print from exit slot as soon as it ejects. Subject too dark Cause Camera's photocell measured the bright window light, causing the subject to be too dark. Solution Reposition subject away from the bright background. When a bright source of light (lamplight, candlelight, etc.) is in the central part of the scene and in front of the subject, the camera's photocell will measure the bright light, causing the subject to be too dark. Move the source of light to one side of your subject so it is not in the central part of the scene. 9
