The beauty of Polaroid instant cameras is instant gratification. This instant gratification also extends to the battery. One of the great misnomers of this product is that you have to change the battery just like you would any other kind of camera, but all you have to do is reload the film pack because the power source is in the film cartridge itself in the new generation Polaroid Instant cameras.
Instructions
1. Purchase a film cartridge appropriate for your Polaroid Instant Camera. Consult the manufacturer's website for valid types of film for your make and model.
2. Remove the film pack from the packaging carefully. Do not touch the film cover, and hold the film by the edges. Do not remove the tab on the film pack.
3. Open the film door by pressing the film door release button on the front of the camera. This button may be located in a different location on your particular make and model.
4. Hold the film by the edges and insert the film pack with the film cover facing up, according to the symbols on the pack itself. Follow the arrows or consult the consult the instructions that came with your camera.
5. Close the film door, and remove the film cover. The film cover should eject automatically.
6. Repeat these steps when you want to load a new pack of film. Each time you load new film you will be reloading the battery as well. The battery life in the cartridge should be appropriate for the amount of pictures you can take with one film pack, but if you still have film left and your battery runs out, just load a new pack of film into the camera.
