600 Series Camera User Guide Use the electronic flash for every picture - outdoors and indoors The human eye adjusts to light differently than the camera's eye, which makes it difficult to judge how light from the scene will affect your picture. Everyone who takes pictures has had the experience of looking at a subject or scene, photographing it, and being disappointed with the picture because it looks different than what he or she saw in the viewfinder. Polaroid's new photographic system gives you the beautiful picture you expect to see. By blending light from the scene with just enough flash, the system creates a new photographic light that more accurately reproduces, on film, what appeared in the viewfinder. Taking trouble-free pictures Hold the developing picture by its wide white border While it is developing, keep the picture out of direct sunlight. When the temperature is below 55o F (13o C), keep the camera and film warm. Immediately place the developing picture in a warm pocket for at least a minute. Keep the developer rollers clean Dirty rollers can cause a repeated spot or bar pattern to appear in the picture. The developer rollers are located inside the film door. If there is film in the camera, open the door in dim light. Dirty Rollers What to look for if the camera does not operate Check the picture counter. When the film pack is empty, you can charge the flash but you cannot take a picture. Look through the viewfinder. When the red light is on, the flash is charging and you cannot take a picture. Be sure the sound waves have a clear path to your subject (Sun 660 AF only) The sound waves travel to the central part of the scene (see page 8). If an object in the foreground prevents the sound from reaching your subject, the internal lens disk will focus on the foreground object, causing your subject to be out of focus. If this happens when you are using flash indoors, your subject will also be too dark. Developer Rollers 13
