Question: How to take a polaroid photo!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Which kind of Polaroid camera do you have!? Some of the older (circa 1960s-1970s) cameras can be a little tricky if you don't fully understand them!.

For the Polaroids that spit out the picture, yes, it is just point and shoot, as most of them don't have any focusing or the like!. For the older Polaroid cameras (as in the type that use Type 669 film), the bellows need to be extended, you need to focus the camera using the part on the bellows that have the black plastic on them, ya push down the small lever on the lens housing to ready the shutter and push the red button!.

Then there will be two tabs to pull!. One will be a small white tab with the exposure number on it - pull it out and pull out the tab that comes out!. The entire picture will come out as you pull the larger tab, moving it through two rollers that will spread the chemistry!. Wait the appropriate time (usually 60 seconds at 70 degrees) and pull the paper from the film!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
