Getting Started

Open the Polaroid Now box and check that you have everything you need:

  1. Polaroid Now Camera
  2. Micro USB Charging Cable
  3. Quick Start Guide
  4. Camera Neck Strap

Charge your camera

The Polaroid Now won’t be fully charged straight out of the box, so you will need to charge it to get started. Plug the Micro USB side of the cable into the side of the camera and the USB side into your USB charging adapter. The battery level indicator LED next to the Micro USB slot will flash green while the camera is plugged in and charging. It will turn off once the camera is fully charged.

A full charge usually takes about 2 hours through a wall socket with a USB power adapter. A fully-charged Polaroid Now will have enough power to shoot 15 packs of film, depending on usage. Remember to turn off the Polaroid Now after use to save battery life.

Attach your neck strap




Find your instant film

The Polaroid Now uses i-Type and 600 instant film. Get that iconic Polaroid frame in color, black and white, or with our special edition frames. Find your next film here, then you’re ready to take your first Polaroid photograph.

How To Take Your First Photo

  1. Turn on the Polaroid Now camera
    Press the ON | OFF button for ½ a second. The film counter display will show the number ‘0’ because there is currently no film in the camera.
  2. Insert your film pack
    Push the film door button to open the film door, then insert the film pack into film chamber of your camera. Push the film pack all the way in with the darkslide facing up and the tab facing toward you. Close the film door. The darkslide will eject. Remove the darkslide and allow the film shield to roll back in. This shield is designed to protect images from light as they develop, so don’t remove it. If the darkslide has not ejected, remove the film pack and re-insert it to make sure it is pushed all the way into the back of the camera.
    We recommend using i-Type film as the camera is optimized for use with this particular film.
    To make sure the camera always displays the right film count, always finish the film pack before inserting a new one. If you decide to switch packs anyway, be aware that one photo will be wasted as it will be exposed to light. That’s why every pack has a darkslide.
  3. Set the flash mode
    In any situation where you are not shooting in bright, direct sunlight, we recommend using the flash to achieve the best shots. That’s why the flash will trigger by default every time you use the Polaroid Now. Shooting without the flash can give you some beautiful results as well, but remember you need another source of light to make sure your photo will turn out. To shoot without the flash, press the flash button on the back panel once.
    After taking the photo the flash will be reenabled. To disable the flash until you power off the camera, double press the flash button.
  4. Position yourself
    Make sure you are at least 55cm (1.8ft) away from your subject.
  5. Aim at your subject
    The Polaroid Now uses a viewfinder located on the left side of the lens barrel. To aim at your subject, simply align your eye with the viewfinder barrel and use the image you see to compose your shot.
  6. Press the shutter button
    Press the shutter button to take your photo. The photo will be ejected from the slot at the front of the camera as soon as you let go of the shutter button. You will see that the photo will be covered with a film shield to protect it from light.
  7. Remove the photo
    Gently lift the film shield so it rolls back into the camera. Remove the photo and place it face down to continue shielding it from light as it develops. Don’t shake it! Check the back of your film packet for the correct developing times.
  8. Turn the camera off
    Press the ON | OFF button for ½ a second to turn off the Polaroid Now.

Tips For Making Great Photos

Natural light 

Light is your best friend when it comes to instant photograph, so we recommend to always use the flash. However, on a sunny day outdoors, you don’t need to use your flash at all. Make sure not to shoot towards the sun, shoot with the sun behind you instead, facing your subject directly or side-on, to give you a bright and clear picture without shadow on your subject. For the best results without the flash, the most important thing to remember is to keep your camera as steady as possible. For example, by holding your camera with both hands and putting your elbows on a table.

Framing

Be aware that your photo will not exactly reflect what you see through the viewfinder. For subjects closer than 1.2m (3.93ft) you should adjust your aim slightly up and to the left.

Composition

It’s possible to change the photo composition after focusing on your subject. The shutter button has two positions. First half-press the shutter button, then change the composition and fully press to take the photo.

Special Features

Self-Timer

Get yourself in the photograph with the selftimer. Tap the self-timer button once. The LED will light up orange, indicating that the self-timer is activated. Once you have framed your photo, press the shutter button. The orange LED will blink to indicate the self-timer countdown. You have 9 seconds before the photo is taken.

To make self-timer photos without flash, first activate the self-timer, then press the flash button.

If you change your mind, you can cancel the self-timer by pressing the self-timer button again.

Double Exposure 

Express yourself in more ways than one with the Double Exposure feature, which allows you to combine two images in one photo. Press the self-timer button twice to enable double exposure mode. The display will flash ‘1’ until the first shot is taken, then flash ‘2’ until the second shot is taken.

Flash

Double tap to disable flash until the camera is powered off.

Exposure compensation (Trim EV) 

For the more experienced photographers, the camera has an exposure compensation mode. This mode allows you to make your photo brighter or darker. This might be to intentionally under- or over-expose, or could be to compensate for scenes with atypical distribution of light and dark elements, such as a landscape with a bright sky or subject with a contrasting background.

+½ EV and -½ EV settings are available which make your photos slightly brighter or darker respectively. To access the Trim EV mode, hold the flash button down for one second. A small line will appear in the display. Tapping the flash button cycles through +½ EV → Normal EV → -½ EV. When you have chosen your EV setting, press the shutter button as you normally would. Remember: the flash is on during this time unless you turned it off previously. After two seconds, the screen will alternate displaying the film count and EV setting.

Charging

Above the Micro USB slot sits the battery level indicator LED to let you know what your battery level is. To check the camera’s battery level, turn the camera on and look at the battery level indicator LED in relation to this table.

Battery Level 

Indicator LED This means:
No Light → Camera is off
Green → Charged (Enough for 15 packs of film)
Orange → Medium battery (Enough for 1 pack of film)
Red → Low battery

To charge the camera, insert the charging cable into the Micro USB slot. Once you do that, the LED light will let you know how much charge you have remaining.

Battery Level 

Indicator LED This means:
No Light → Camera is fully charged
Green → Charging, battery almost full
Orange → Charging, battery is half full
Red → Charging, battery is low

Cleaning

To clean the lens, use a microfiber cloth designed for that purpose. This will ensure that you do not scratch the lens or leave  behind any strands that may impact the quality of your photos.

Spotted marks on your photographs? Dirty rollers could be one of the reasons. When you take a Polaroid photograph, the film goes through two metal rollers. This is where the developer paste is spread between the negative and positive components of the photo before it exits through the film door. If these rollers are dirty or just a little uneven, the chemistry will not spread evenly across the photograph and you get small marks.

To clean the rollers, open the film door compartment of the camera (the film can remain in the camera while cleaning) and grab a soft, damp cloth. Rotate the rollers by turning the black plastic gear on the bottom left and wipe the cloth across the rollers as they move. Make sure the rollers are dry before you use your camera again. We recommend that you check the rollers between every pack of film, and clean them every 2-3 packs even if they look perfectly clean.

Troubleshooting

  1. My Polaroid Now won’t eject my photo or darkslide.
    Make sure your Polaroid Now camera is charged. The camera’s battery level indicator LED will blink red if it doesn’t have enough charge to operate. If this is the case, you should recharge your camera then try again. Still having trouble? Check how many photos you have left. Hold down the power button for two seconds and the film counter display will indicate how many shots you have left in the film pack. If the LED shows ‘0’ this means that there are no shots left in the film pack.
  2. The flash doesn’t fire when I take a photo. The Polaroid Now automatically turns the flash on when you power on the camera. If it’s not firing, press the flash button once until you see the lightning bolt illuminate. When taking photos make sure you don’t accidentally press the flash button.
  3. My photo turned out too dark. Polaroid cameras love light, so the more light you have the better. Make sure you are not shooting towards the sun. When shooting towards sunlight, the excessive light may cause the camera to overcompensate when exposing the image, creating an image that is too dark to expose your subject properly. If you’re taking photos inside and you don’t want to use the flash, make sure you find another light source – or use the flash. The flash is also useful at night-time, dusk, and cloudy days.
  4. My photo turned out blurry or fuzzy. Make sure you are at least 55cm (1.8ft) away from your subject. When shooting, make sure you hold the camera steady, especially in low light conditions, and have a strong light source to illuminate your subject.
  5. The film counter display shows the wrong number. The display resets to ‘8’ every time a cassette is inserted. If a part-used cassette is inserted, the camera will display ‘8’ and countdown 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, 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.

Safety Information

Camera
  • Caution: risk of electric shock.
  • Do not open or disassemble the motorized roller system.
  • Do not disassemble the device. Incorrect reassembly can cause electrical shock if the device is used again.
  • Do not immerse the device in water or other fluids.
  • Do not operate the device in a high humidity environment or very dusty environments.
  • Do not attempt to tamper with, adjust or remove the battery and/or the electronics located inside the camera.
  • Do not attempt to remove the door itself, as it is connected to the body of the device. Doing so is unsafe, will likely damage your device, and will void your warranty.
  • Do not insert metal objects into the device.
  • Do not insert any objects into the rollers or gears.
  • Keep small children and infants away from the device to avoid them being injured by the device’s moving parts.
  • Do not use or store the device near any heat source or any type of equipment that generates heat, including stereo amplifiers.
  • Do not use the device near flammable or explosive gases.
  • Do not charge the device if you notice any unusual odors, noise or smoke.
  • Do not attempt to disassemble the film’s battery or modify it in any way (if using 600 type film). If battery fluid gets in your eyes, immediately rinse your eyes with fresh, cold running water, and seek medical attention immediately.
  • Do not cover the flash.
Battery & Charger
  • This device uses a custom lithium-ion battery that is non-removable and mounted inside the camera body.
  • No other type of battery can be used. Battery replacement can only be done by authorized service centers. The battery will provide many years of service if properly used.
  • Power consumption varies depending on the environment the device is used in and how the device has been stored. Used immediately after full charge, the battery will power the processing of up to 15 film packs with flash exposures. Due to the high energy requirements of the flash, we recommend charging the camera fully before every session for best results.
  • Once the battery energy level falls below a certain level, the device will  no longer process film. The battery LED will blink and signal when it needs to be recharged. This is to avoid a photo getting stuck as it is being processed through the roller system.
  • The rechargeable battery is not fully charged at the time of purchase. Charge the battery fully with the USB charging cable provided. This usually takes 1-2 hours (can vary depending on usage).
  • The supplied battery charging cable has been tested to work with the Apple iPhone power adaptors. While it can be used in other USB ports e.g. computer, USB power adaptors, TVs, cars etc., correct operation cannot be guaranteed.
  • When the device is no longer in use, please recycle it properly.

All the necessary straps, interlocking mounting parts, USB cable, software and, of course, the camera are included.

PRECAUTIONS:

  1.  Make sure the XS100’s back cover is twisted on and completely sealed before use. If foreign objects or water enter the camera, turn the power off. Continued use may cause an injury.
  2.  If the camera has been dropped or its case has been damaged, turn the power off. Continued use may cause permanent damage and/or personal injury.
  3.  There are no user-serviceable parts in the camera: DO NOT DISASSEMBLE! Do not place the camera on unstable surfaces. This may cause the camera to fall or tilt over, causing damage. For repair, visit polaroidaction.com for customer service information.
  4.  A camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop, strike, or use excessive force when handling the camera. Doing so may render the camera inoperative.
  5.  Do not leave the camera in places where the temperature may rise significantly such as inside a car. High temperatures may adversely affect the case or internal parts of the camera.
  6. Before you move the camera, disconnect cords and cables. Failure to do so may damage the cords and cables.
  7.  This is an extreme sports video product. Please be careful that you don’t mount the camera in a fixed position where, in the event of an accident, you subject yourself to bodily contact with the camera.

CHARGING THE BATTERY:

  1.  Connect the USB cable’s mini USB plug into the camera’s mini USB port.
  2.  Connect the cable’s USB plug into a USB port of any computer. Verify that the computer is on.
  3.  The Red LED remains on while the battery is charging.
  4.  The Red LED will turn off when the battery is fully charged.
  5.  Charge the battery before using the camera for the very first time.
  6.  It takes about 3 hours to initially charge the camera. Subsequent charges will take 3 hours or less.

Additional Information
When the battery power is low, the camera will vibrate three times to indicate a low battery. The camera will vibrate two seconds to indicate it’s out of power. If the camera is recording, it will automatically save the file and then shut down.
DO NOT attempt to remove the internal battery. Doing so will void the warranty coverage and can possibly damage the camera.

Insert Micro SD Card
The XS100 supports MicroSD cards up to 32GB (Class 6 or greater cards are recommended). At the rate of 4GB per half-hour, a 32GB card will record full high definition (FHD) video for approximately 4-hours (1080p@30 fps or 720p@60 fps). If there is no MicroSD card in the camera, the Red and Green LED @will flash alternately and continuously.

Check that the camera power is turned OFF. Insert a MicroSD card (with the printed side up) into the MicroSD Card Slot with enough finger pressure to keep the edge of the card flush with the card slot opening.A
To remove the Micro-SD card, press the card inward and release. Grasp the card with two fingers and pull it out.
Never insert a MicroSD card with the printed side down. Forcing the card inward in that position will likely damage the card and/or camera.

A new MicroSD card should be formatted before using. For instructions on how to format the card, refer to the Section “Connecting the Camera to a Computer/TV/HDTV.”

Setting Date Time
You can set the camera’s clock activating the XS100’s software which resides in the camera’s internal memory.

To set up the camera clock:

  1.  Insert a MicroSD card with at least 2MB free space into the camera.
  2.  Connect the camera to a PC via the USB to mini USB cable.
  3.  Press the Power Button 0 to turn the camera ON.
  4.  Using the computer’s file manager, open the MicroSD card folder and find the file “Polaroid.exe.” Double click the file to open it. Mac users note: Visit polaroidaction.com to download the Mac version of the XS100 software.
  5.  Find the “Date and Time” and click “SET.”
  6.  Enter the date and time manually or click “Sync with PC” to set with your PC clock
    (Check that your PC time and date are accurate.).
  7.  Click “Ok” to save the settings.

Attaching The Camera Panel Cover
The waterproof housing allows the camera to operate as deep as 30 feet under water. In order to protect the camera when using it in wet conditions, you must seal the camera’s operation panel with the Panel Cover.

  •  Attach the Panel Cover (Figure 1) to the back of the camera by positioning the Panel Cover Lock in the 12 o’clock position and rotate the outer ring of the Panel Cover clockwise (in the direction of arrow No.1) until the two black circles are lined up (Figure 2).
  •  Using a fingernail, slide the Panel Cover Lock upward in the direction of the arrow No. 2.

  •  To remove the Panel Cover, simply reverse the procedure in steps 1 and 2.

Failure to properly seal your camera can result in leaks that may damage or destroy your camera. Your warranty does not cover water damage resulting from user neglect.

The rubber seal on the Panel Cover forms the waterproof barrier to protect the camera in wet and underwater conditions. You must keep this seal clean; a single strand of hair or single grain of sand can cause water to leak into the camera.
After every use in saltwater, you will need to rinse the outside of the product and the seal with non-salt water, then dry. Failure to rinse off saltwater can cause corrosion within the camera and, in turn, the damage will result.

Powering On/Off
To turn the camera ON:

  1. Press and hold the Power Button
  2.  The camera will vibrate, and the Green LED will turn on.

To turn the camera OFF:

  1.  Press and hold the Power Button.
  2.  The camera will vibrate for two seconds, and the Green LED will turn off.

Recording Videos
Before you start recording, select the video resolution by switching to the Video Resolution Switch There are two HD options to select from: HD (720p 60fps or 720p 30fps) and FHD (Full HD 1080p 30fps or 960p 30fps). You can change the resolution by changing the settings with the XS100 software.
There are two methods available for starting the video record function. The recording is delayed 1-2 seconds as a short vibration indicates recording has started. The LED indicator illuminates RED throughout the recording.

Method 1: Whether the camera power is ON or OFF, simply slide the Recording Slide Switch from STOP to REC to start recording.
Method 2: When your camera is OFF and the Recording Slide Switch is at the REC location, press and hold the Power Button to turn the camera ON, and it will start recording.
To stop recording, move the Recording Slide Switch from REC to STOP. The camera will vibrate and the LED Indicator will illuminate GREEN to indicate the recording has stopped. The camera will then enter the Standby mode. An additional option is to hold the Power Button to stop the recording and turn the camera off. The camera will vibrate for two seconds, and the Red LED light will turn off.

A smaller video file of 432×240 (w/1080p/720p) or 320×240 (w/960p) will be created simultaneously when recording an HD/FHD video file. The smaller video file size allows for more efficient uploading of content to social media sites and email.

  • Changing video resolution is disabled during video recording.
  •  Check that the MicroSD card has sufficient space to capture your video. The card is full when the camera vibrates for 5-seconds, and the Green LED flashes continuously.

To capture a still image

  1. Turn on the camera by pressing the Power Button.
  2.  If the camera is in the video recording mode, move the Recording Slide Switch to STOP.

The still photo function is disabled during video recording.
The default photo mode is “single photo.” Burst mode gives you a series of 10 photo shots per second to capture that “can’t miss” moment. Time Lapse mode can be utilized to take a series of photos at 5, 10, 30 or 60-second intervals. To change the mode, please refer to the section “Changing the camera settings”
When the memory card becomes full, the camera will vibrate for five seconds and the Green LED will flash continuously.

This allows the user to mount the camera in different angular positions without recording a rotated or inverted view. The video resolution will be adjusted for 90° and270°. Review the table below.

  11.  The ball joint system allows you to change the angle of the camera. Simply loosen the nut, adjust the camera angle and re-tighten the nut.

Tips for Achieving a Secure Mounting:

  • When straps are not practical, the 3M® adhesive pads can be used to attach the mount to smooth surfaces like a motorcycle helmet. And don’t worry about the adhesive ruining the helmet; they’re removed quite easily when heat is applied (eg. a hairdryer).
  •  For best results, maximum adhesion of the adhesive pad is achieved by first cleaning the helmet surface thoroughly where the pad will be attached. Apply the pad firmly and allow it to remain unused overnight. The dry time allows the adhesive to create a stronger bond.
  •  For ultimate camera support, use the straps and the 3M® adhesive pads.

Mounting on a Handlebar or Pole (.75 to 1.4-inch diameter):

  1.  Loosen both bike mount screws.
  2.  Attach the bike mount to the handlebar or pole and tighten the screws until the mount is firmly secured.
  3.  Loosen and detach the ball joint nut from the bike mount.
  4.  Insert the Ball Joint through the Ball Joint Nut and then into the Bike Mount Socket, and you should hear a loud click, then tighten the Ball Joint Nut.
  5.  Attach the Mount-Lock and camera into the Ball Joint Socket. Assure that the Mount-Lock Ball Joint Nut is tightened securely.
  6.  The ball joint system allows you to change the angle of the camera. Simply loosen the nut, adjust the camera angle and re-tighten the nut.

How to use the

  1. Download the Polaroid App on your phone
    You will need the Polaroid Origilals App to use the Polaroid Lab. The App also contains
    Tips, Tricks & Tutorials, and Inspiration for more ways to create.
    polaroid.com/polaroidlab
  2. Charge the Polaroid Lab
    Important The Polaroid Lab will not be fully charged upon purchase. Make sure that it is fully charged before first use. To charge the Polaroid Lab, plug the USB charging cable into the Micro-USB slot on the Polaroid Lab’s back panel and the other end of the cable into a charger, such as a phone adapter or your computer’s USB slot. The LEDs next to the slot light up to show the current battery level, four lit LEDs mean fully charged. If the Polaroid Lab is connected to a charger and is fully charged then all charging LEDs will be off. A full charge usually takes about 2 hours through a wall socket with a phone adapter or up to 4 hours through a computer’s USB slot.
    A fully-charged Polaroid Lab will have enough power to shoot 100 packs of film, depending on usage. Remember to turn off the Polaroid Lab after use to conserve battery life.
  3. Load the film
    Pick up the Polaroid Lab and gently pull down the front of the Film door. Take the film cassette out of the packaging and push the
    film cassette all the way in, with the film’s darkslide facing up. When you close the film door, the darkslide will eject from the Polaroid
    Lab automatically. If the darkslide has not ejected, remove the film pack and re-insert it, making sure it is pushed all the way to the back of the Polaroid Lab.
    Note Please check the individual film packaging for development time, handling and storage details.
  4. Turn the Polaroid Lab on
    Push the black button on the right side of the Polaroid Lab to raise the phone platform to the photo-taking position and power on.
    The Rainbow logo LED will light up and the film counter LED will light up to show how many shots are remaining in the Polaroid
    Original App. When you’re done, turn off the Polaroid Lab by pushing down the platform.
    Alternatively, it will turn itself off automatically after several minutes of inactivity.
  5. Open the app and select your photo
    Open the Polaroid App and select the Polaroid Lab section. Tap the image selection button to choose the image you want to expose and tap proceed. The app will guide you through your first exposure.
  6. Place your phone on the phone platform
    Place your phone on the phone platform with the screen facing toward the lens of the Polaroid Lab. Ensure that it is correctly aligned:
    the top of your phone must be facing the rear of the camera. Remove any phone covers or screen protectors to ensure the best performance.
    The app will detect the Polaroid Lab and orientate the image to be perfectly aligned with the film. It will also display a calibration image above the light sensor to correctly expose your image without having to adjust your phone’s backlight. Make sure that you
    turn off all settings or apps which influence the color of the display, such as night shift or true tone, as these can severely impinge the final photograph.
  7. Push the red Shutter button
    The Polaroid Lab will detect your phone on the platform and will measure the brightness of the display to ensure the perfect exposure.
    Wait until the Rainbow logo LED flashes then press the red shutter button. The photo will be ejected from the slot at the front of the camera as soon as you let go of the shutter button.
    Remove the photo from beneath the film shield and let the shield roll back into the Polaroid Lab. Place the photo face down to continue shielding it from light as it develops.
    If you want to take another photo of the same image then press the shutter button again.

Further Guidance

  1. How much film is left in the pack?
    There are 8 orange LED lights on the front of the Polaroid Lab. When the Lab is switched on and not in sleep mode, the LEDs will constantly display the film count. The number of LEDs which light up corresponds to the number of shots left in the film pack. For example: If 6 LEDs light up, that means there are 6 shots left in the film pack. If you have used up all 8 shots in the film pack, or if there is no film pack inserted in the camera, then the LEDs will blink rapidly when you turn the Polaroid Lab on or press the shutter button.
  2.  How much battery is left?
    The Polaroid Lab displays the remaining battery level on four LEDs above the USB slot. When the Polaroid Lab is charging the LED will flash, and when fully charged with a USB cable inserted the LEDs will all be unlit as it will be running on power directly from the charger.
    Battery level:
    1. Between 1 to 4 LEDs light up One LED indicates enough charge for at least 2 packs of film.
    2. Battery charged and USB cable Battery charged and USB cable connected: No LEDs light up. connected: No LEDs light up.
    The film counter LED will show the remaining number of photos.
    3. Battery empty

    No charge remaining. No LEDs light No charge remaining. No LEDs light up, and the Polaroid Lab will cease to up, and the Polaroid Lab will cease to operate until it is recharged. operate until it is recharged.
  3. Compatible film
    The Polaroid Lab works with all Polaroid i-Type and 600 type film packs.
    We recommend using i-Type film as it is optimized for use with the Polaroid Lab.
    The Polaroid Lab is not intended to be used with SX-70 film, Spectra film or any other type of film.
  4. Power supply
    Charge the Polaroid Lab before use to ensure it has enough (see →Charge the Polaroid LabThe battery level rear LEDs will flash whilst the Polaroid Lab is plugged in and charging, and will turn off once the Polaroid Lab is fully charged.
  5. Cleaning the rollers
    Sometimes excess developer paste from photos may build up on the Polaroid Lab’s rollers, affecting the Polaroid Lab’s performance and causing photos to show unwanted imperfections. The Polaroid Lab has a built-in roller cleaning mode to help with this issue. Just follow these steps:
    1. Close the phone platform to turn off the Polaroid Lab
    2. Open film door
    3. Hold down the right touchpoint and press and hold the shutter button for >2 seconds
    4. Rollers will move to the starting position for cleaning

    6. Using a damp cloth or cotton swab, gently clean the rollers
    7. Press the shutter button to incrementally advance the roller positions
    8. Once both rollers are clean on all sides, close the film door

Troubleshooting & FAQ

  1. My Polaroid Lab won’t eject my photo/darkslide
    Make sure that your Polaroid Lab is charged:
    The Rainbow logo LED and rear LEDs won’t light up unless there is enough charge to operate.
    If this is the case, you should connect the Polaroid Lab to a charger before using it again.
    Make sure you still have a film in your Polaroid Lab: to check, lower and then raise the phone
    platform. The remaining film counter LEDs will indicate how many shots you have left in the film pack. If the LEDs flash rapidly when the Polaroid Lab turns on again, this means that there are no shots left in the film pack, or that no film pack is inserted.
    1. All unlit
    Polaroid Lab off, or no pack inserted
    2. Shutter button depressed, all flashing  Pack inserted, no film
    3. All lit
    Pack inserted, 8 photographs available
    4. Alternate LED-lit
    Pack insertion error
  2. The app made an error noise at me
    The app will detect if your phone has been placed on the Polaroid Lab correctly. The touchpoints on the phone platform allow the
    app to rotate and place the image directly above the lens of the Polaroid Lab. If the app can’t do this then it will let you know so you
    can place your phone in a better position.
    When you pick up your phone the app will guide you through the correct positioning with a short video.
  3. The shutter button won’t work
    If the Rainbow logo LED is lit up then the Polaroid Lab is powered on, and if there is a film in the Polaroid Lab then the appropriate number of film count LEDs will be lit. If you press the shutter button and nothing comes out, look at the film count LED. If your phone isn’t oriented correctly then the Polaroid Lab won’t be able to read the brightness of the image. The Rainbow logo LED will blink 3 times if the phone is recognized. If it keeps rapidly blinking, the Polaroid Lab can’t recognize the sensor area/brightness correctly. If it doesn’t blink at all, it means that it doesn’t recognize the phone on top. This can be because of a phone case or screen protector, which can impair the recognition of the phone. To rectify this, remove any phone case or screen protector. Gently push
    the phone on the Lab.
  4.  My photo turned out slightly too dark
    We didn’t take the original photo on your phone camera, but our regular photo-taking the advice still applies. We’d recommend that you disable True Tone, Night Shift, or Night Mode.
    The app will automatically adjust your phone brightness. You can also adjust exposure under the “More” menu in the app. EV can be adjusted from -3 to +3 f-stops.

Tips for Making Great Photos

  • Make sure your phone screen is clean.
    If you have a phone screen protector make sure that the screen doesn’t have scratches, stains or fingerprints. Ideally, remove any phone screen protector or phone covers to ensure optimum results.
  • Make sure that your phone is completely flat on the Polaroid Lab phone platform.
  • Make sure that your film is fresh!
    Stock up on new film at polaroid.com and follow the tip sheet that comes with the film packaging to ensure that your film is as good as it can be.
  • Make sure all settings and apps which influence colors are turned off (eg. night shift, true tone).
