Each pack has a small battery to power the Polaroid 600 cameras from the ‘80s and beyond, but it works with i-Type cameras too. A timeless formula to create captivating moments you can relive and retell forever. This core film triple pack includes two packs of color instant film and one in black and white, all finished in that iconic white frame. FeaturesEach pack includes 8 instant photographs in that original Polaroid square format and finished in a white frame. Vintage cameras don’t have a rechargeable battery so there’s one inside every film pack. When you take a photograph, one of the most complex chemical processes take place within that small film frame bringing your moment to life within 15 minutes. Color 600 film is the original format instant film for vintage Polaroid 600 cameras (though it works with i-Type cameras too). It captures your photos in a rich spectrum of color, texture and tone, and frames them in that iconic white border which makes every Polaroid a cultural icon. Every photo it creates is unique; unpredictable, imperfect, and impossible to reproduce. You get 8 instant photos in every pack. Store ChilledThe fridge is your film’s best friend. Temperature affects how Polaroid film works. To keep your film in shape for shooting, we recommend storing it in the fridge (not the freezer) and allowing it to reach room temperature (13-28-degree-C / 55-82-degree-F) before loading it into your camera. Shoot with the LightWhether you’re using natural sunlight or a studio set-up, always shoot with the light behind you, or to your side. If you face the camera into the light, your photos can end up dark and blown out. We also recommend to always use the flash to get great results — even if it’s a sunny day. Develop in the DarkYou need light to get the best photograph, but you need darkness to let it work its magic. When you take a photograph, thousands of chemical reactions take place within that small film frame. To get the best result, let your photograph develop face down in a warm area that’s shielded from light. CompatibilityCompatible with vintage 600 cameras as well a newer models including One Step+, the Polaroid Now, and the Polaroid Lab. Care for Your CameraClean rollers make for clearer photographs. Each Polaroid camera has a set of rollers inside the film door. If these rollers are dirty, the chemistry can’t spread as easily across the film frame. If they look dirty, give them a gentle wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
