FAQs

What type of film does the Polaroid Now Gen 2 camera use?

The Polaroid Now Gen 2 camera is compatible with both Polaroid i-Type and 600 film packs. These are sold separately.

How do I charge the camera?

The camera has an internal lithium-ion battery that can be recharged using the included USB Type-C charging cable. Connect the cable to the USB port on the camera and to a suitable power source.

Can I take photos in low light conditions?

Yes, the camera includes an accurate human-friendly flash that helps illuminate subjects in low light. The slowest shutter speed is 1 second, which can also be used for capturing images in dimmer environments, though a tripod might be beneficial for sharpness.

What is the range of the autofocus system?

The camera features a dual-lens autofocus system with two fixed focus zones: 0.55m-1.3m for close-up shots and 0.6m-infinity for distance shots.

How does the double exposure feature work?

To use double exposure, take your first shot, then without ejecting the film, take a second shot. The camera will then process both images onto a single instant print.

Is the camera made of new or recycled materials?

The Polaroid Now Gen 2 camera is made with 40% recycled materials in its construction, offering a more sustainable approach to instant photography.

What is included in the box?

The box typically includes the Polaroid Now Camera (Gen 2), a USB-C Charging Cable (1.2m), a Wrist Strap, a Quick Start Guide, and a Safety & Compliance Leaflet.

Troubleshooting

Camera won't turn on or respond.

Ensure the internal battery is charged using the USB Type-C cable. Try a different USB cable or power source.

Photos are consistently blurry.

Verify you are within the camera's autofocus zones (0.55m-1.3m for close-up, 0.6m-infinity for distance). Ensure the lens is clean. Try to hold the camera steady when shooting.

Flash is not firing.

Check that the flash mode is enabled. Ensure the battery has sufficient charge, as the flash may not operate on very low power. Make sure the film pack is correctly inserted and recognized by the camera.

Film is not ejecting.

Confirm that a film pack is loaded correctly and the dark slide has been ejected. If the dark slide is still in place, try gently opening and closing the film door. Ensure the battery is charged.

Photos have light streaks or are overexposed.

Protect newly ejected photos from direct light immediately. Ensure the film door is sealing properly and the camera has not been exposed to significant light leaks during operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting Started:

  1. Charge the Battery: Connect the included USB Type-C cable to the camera's USB port and a power source. The internal lithium-ion battery will charge.
  2. Load Film: Open the film compartment on the back of the camera. Insert a compatible Polaroid i-Type or 600 film pack, ensuring the dark slide is facing up. Close the compartment.
  3. Eject Dark Slide: The camera will automatically eject the film's protective dark slide. Keep this for future reference or to cover prints from light.

Compatibility:

  • Film: Compatible with Polaroid i-Type and 600 film packs (sold separately). Ensure you use the correct film type.
  • Charging: Uses a standard USB Type-C cable for charging.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the camera exterior with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or submerging the camera in water.
  • Lens Care: Keep the optical lenses clean by using a lens cleaning cloth. Avoid touching the lenses directly.
  • Storage: Store the camera in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When not in use, ensure the film door is closed and the lens is protected.
  • Film Handling: Protect exposed instant photos from direct sunlight for at least 5 minutes after they are ejected, as they are still developing and sensitive to light.
