How many photos does one film pack hold?

Does the camera have a tripod mount?

What happens if I open the film door before the pack is empty?

Troubleshooting
The camera won't fire a photo.
Check if the film pack is empty. If the film counter shows '0', you must replace the pack.
Photos appear completely black or very dark.
Ensure the subject is within the effective flash range and that you aren't shooting against a bright light source.
Lines or spots appear on the photo.
This usually indicates dirty rollers. Open the film door and wipe the rollers clean with a damp cloth.

Compatibility: This camera is exclusively compatible with Polaroid Go film. Standard i-Type or 600 film will not fit.
