Polaroid instant photos
Polaroid instant cameras were once a staple for photo lovers worldwide but, with the advent of digital photography, have since become more of a novelty item. If you are lucky enough to find a Polaroid 600 and precious film to go with it, you will surely catch those special moments that no other cameras can. Once you do find your Polaroid and film, loading your film properly into the camera is the only thing between you and some beautiful photographs.
Instructions
1. Purchase or salvage a Polaroid 600 camera and film from eBay or Amazon.
2. Find the thumb latch on the front-left side of the Polaroid 600 camera.
3. Push the thumb latch forward to open the film chamber. The chamber door should open downward, exposing the chamber slot.
4. Open the sealed film cartridge from its package. Cartridges hold 10 shots each and power the Polaroid 600 camera when inserted. A black cover on the top keep light from destroying the film inside from overexposure.
5. Insert the film cartridge into the chamber with the pull tab facing outward.
The cartridge should fit perfectly. If it does not, the camera chamber may be warped (or the film cartridge you are using is not for the Polaroid 600).
6. Push the cartridge in evenly and slide it in gently. Close the chamber door shut.
Film cartridges power the camera. As soon as you load and shut the chamber door, the top black cover of the cartridge will automatically eject out of the film slot.
