Where is the battery on polariod one600camera

SOURCE: inserting batteries into a polaroid

Battery is built into the film pack.

Simple. The battery is in the film cassette. Install film and the camera will come to life.

SOURCE: How do we find battery component on old Polaroid camera...

Each film cartridge contains a new battery. Every time you replace the film, you get a new battery.

Now the bad news...
As of June 2008, Polaroid no longer makes film. The last of what was produced is expiring in 10/2009.

The hopeful news...
Polaroid may be licensing other companies to manufacture film again (after 2009) and another group is hard at work trying to produce a similar film for these cameras (http:\\www.the-impossible-project.com). But don't expect any of this to be available any time soon.

The batteries are part of the photo pack, when you change photo packs the battery changes at the same time.

Unfortunately almost all unused photo packs will now have flat batteries as they've been out of production for two and a half years now. Photo packs advertised as having been stored in a fridge will definitely have dead batteries as cold kills batteries. Photo packs kept out of a fridge may have some residual battery power, but not enough to last the full ten photos, and the chemicals may have gone stale resulting in poor quality photos.

The only solution is to modify the camera to take an external 6v power supply, such as a battery or a socket to accept a plug in DC adapter. It involves opening the camera (not easy: it's all clip together and was never designed to be dismantled) and then soldering wires to the camera's battery contacts and feeding them out through a hole drilled into the bottom of the camera. A flat Polaroid battery may have enough residual power for you to determine the contact polarity using a test meter. Get it wrong and the camera is dead, but Polaroid 600's are ten a penny at charity/thrift shops and free on FreeCycle/Freegle. Modifying the camera without dismantling it is possible, but very fiddly and you need to be careful not to let the hot soldering iron melt any of the plastic camera. It's like trying to perform keyhole surgery!

I've done this modification myself a few years ago, but last year gave the camera to an eager photography student.

SOURCE: does the 600 polariod camera have a on/off button?

There is no power button, the camera only powers up when the shutter is pressed. The battery is located within the photo pack, so each time you change the pack you get a "new" battery as well. The only problem is that any original unused photo packs will no longer have new batteries as they're all so old now that the batteries are either totally dead or have just enough power to eject the darkslide before dying.

You have two options: modify the camera to accept an external 6v dc power supply and try to obtain a realistically priced source of expired photo packs (difficult) or you can try the newly manufactured PX600 photo packs by The Impossible Project. These are only produced in small batches so are sometimes unavailable, there's only eight shots per pack instead of ten and the material is currently only available in monochrome but they hope to soon produce colour film as well. The current products are not very fade resistant and are somewhat unstable and inconsistent from one batch to another, but the images can be saved by scanning them. Scanning also saves some images which appear to be hugely overexposed as digital manipulation then reveals hidden details.

I hope that I've assisted you, please take a moment to rate my reply.
