Lubricate the rollers on your Polaroid camera to keep them functioning correctly.
Polaroid cameras are designed to hold the film pack inside the camera and feed the individual photos through a set of rollers. These rollers compress the small pockets of developer into the exposed picture, converting the negative into a viewable picture. Over time, the rollers can become dirty and may require a small amount of lubrication in order for them to work correctly.
Instructions
1. Hold the camera in one hand, and slide the "Open" button located on the right side of the camera near the front. The front door will drop open revealing the front roller and the film pack inside.
2. Carefully remove the film pack from inside the Polaroid camera. Set the film pack aside so no oil is dropped inside the film pack.
3. Hold the camera in your right hand in a way that one of your fingers can move the roller.
4. Hold mineral oil in your other hand, and apply a small drop or two of oil on the same side as the sprocket. As you apply the oil, rotate the roller with your other hand so the mineral oil is applied to the entire circumference of the roller. One or two small drops should be enough to lubricate the rollers, allowing them to work as they should.
