A flashcube is a small, clear cube that has a flashbulb on each side and a small stem beneath it. It was introduced in 1965 by GTE Sylvania. The cubes are used with various cameras, including models from Polaroid that generate a print from the camera seconds after a picture is taken. Flashcubes are used to produce light when the subject you are photographing is dim. Each time you take a picture, the cube automatically rotates to a new bulb. Since a cube has four sides, it can provide flashes for four pictures.
Instructions
1. Insert the stem of the flashcube into the flash slot located on top of the Polaroid camera. Firmly click the cube into place.
2. Take a picture of your subject. The first flash will ignite, and the cube will automatically rotate to the second flash.
3. Repeat Step 2 up to three more times.
4. Remove the flashcube from the top of the camera. Insert a fresh cube in the slot, and continue taking pictures.
5. Remove the cube from the camera when the flash is no longer needed.
