Make sure the rollers are dry before you use
your camera again. We recommend checking
the rollers between every pack of film, and to
clean them every 2-3 packs.

To clean the lens, use a microfiber cloth.

This will avoid scratches and material particles
that may impact the quality of your photos.

Troubleshooting

1. My Polaroid Now+ won’t eject my photo

or darkslide.

Make sure the camera is charged. The battery
level indicator LED will blink red if it doesn’t
have enough charge to operate. If this is the
case, recharge your camera then try again.
Still having trouble? Check how many photos
you have left. If the film counter display
shows ‘0’, this means that there is no film left.

2. The flash doesn’t fire when I take a photo.

The Polaroid Now+ has a default flash, so
it switches on as soon as you turn on the
camera. If it’s not firing, press the flash button
for <1 second until you see flash button light
turns on.

3. My photo turned out too dark.

There are a few potential solutions for this.

·If you’re using the flash, make sure you

don’t accidentally cover it with your fingers.

·If you’re shooting outside, avoid

directing the camera towards the sun.
Excessive light may cause the camera to
overcompensate when exposing the photo,
making it too dark.

·If you’re taking photos inside, remember

that the Polaroid Now+ has a flash limit of
2m (6.56ft). If your subject is beyond that,
your photo may also turn out too dark.
·If you don’t want to use the flash, find
another light source.

·If you’re half-pressing the shutter button

to play with your composition, remember
that half-pressing also locks exposure,
not just focus. So the camera will base
exposure on the first light reading.

4. My photo turned out blurry or fuzzy.

Make sure you are at least 45cm (1.47ft)
away from your subject. When shooting,
hold the camera steady (especially in low
light conditions), use a strong light source to
illuminate your subject, and keep your fingers
away from the camera’s sensors, which are
positioned under the flash.

5. The film counter display shows the

wrong number.

The display resets to ‘8’ each time a new film
pack is inserted. If a partially used film pack
is inserted, the camera will display ‘8’ and
count down as each photo is taken. When you
next insert a full film pack, the counter will
correctly show ‘8’ remaining photos.

6. I took the first shot of a double exposure

photo, but I changed my mind.

Switch off your camera, and then press and
hold down the shutter button. Switch on the
camera again and the film count will display
‘-’. Continue to hold the shutter button for
over 10 seconds until the film is ejected.

7. I’ve opened the film door by accident.

Now what?

These things happen. Polaroid cameras and
film packs are designed to prevent light leaks
when the film door is opened. But if the film
was exposed to direct, bright light there’s
a risk your photos may be damaged. Take
a photo to remove it from the pack. Take
another to see if the rest of your film is in
good condition. If not, insert a new film pack.

8. My camera is behaving strangely.

What do I do?

It sounds like it may need a reset. To reset
your camera, open the film door and then
hold the ON|OFF button for >8 seconds.
