Dear Chrissy600

Right then, the location for your manual is as follows.

http://www.polaroid.com/service/userguides/photographic/one600jobpro_ug.pdf

Here is where you find the user manual and the guide on how to care for your model of camera.

You will need to get hold of a version of adobe acrobat reader, in order to read the .PDF file format. You can get this from either

http://www.adobe.com
http://www.google.com

if you go to google, then you might be better off typing the words "adobe reader free download" or even adobe acrobat free download. Even if you get the trial version, you can getthis and then just swan the programme off of your system when you are done (unless you really need this on your system).

Anyway, I hope that this is the fixya for you and I hope to hear from you soon to let me know how this information was for you.

Until then, best regards

Yours sincerely

Oz

P.S.

Dont forget, if you need further advice, then im only a mouse click away.

SOURCE: Sx-70 is Not Ejecting FIlm When Taking Picture

Possible you got a bad film cassette. In the original Polaroid camera packs they had batteries which actually powered the whole camera. The batteries may be dead or not have much charge in them. They are good for a couple years and as you indicate the expiration is up in another month... Good luck

My polaroid camera won't eject the film. Are the cameras broken or is the battery dead?

When you take a picture of darkness, are you using flash or uprating the film ?
More seriously, as the film is thirteen years out of date, I seriously doubt if it is still viable. The chemicals within the film pack will have deteriorated over time, and it is my guess that they may well have leaked into the film pack's internal mechanism, thus preventing the photos being ejected. Try again with fresh film.

My Polaroid 600 prints out 2 films at a time and the first one is half printed and the second is blank.

Are you using film from The Impossible Project, or is it old original Polaroid stock? The latter will be old and stale and may have gummed up internally. if it's faulty Impossible Project stock, then they will replace it. but you need to check first whether it's a faulty camera or faulty film.

Ultimately, unless you want to waste money on more (very expensive) film, you'd be better to get another Polaroid 600 model and switch your current photo pack into it to see whether the problem is the same. Most charity and thrift shops have boxes of these obsolete cameras sitting out back or throw out a few of them every week, you can also usually get them free from FreeCycle/Freegle or GumTree.

When you swap the film from one 600 to another, slide a photo you've already taken or the original darkslide into the ejection slot to sit on top of the photo pack, if done correctly this ensures that you don't waste another exposure when you swap the photo pack over. .

Which film is best for the Polaroid One Step 600 Film Camera

Polaroid has not manufactured film for 600 cameras in about 5 years now. The only current source is The Impossible Project, which gives 8 shots per pack, black and white images only, and they tend to fade rather quickly. You can find and order online by searching the name. The Polaroid versions available are no longer really usable because the batteries are drained, film has expired and chempaks have oxidized.

Again, the only CURRENT, in-date, usable film for Polaroid 600 is made by TIP, available thru their website. There are some scumbags out there online selling old Polaroid film they've re-dated and selling it as current and fresh film - it is not. The newest Polaroid brand film expired in 2009. Buyer beware.

How to use a poloroid 600 cameradoes it need batteries is it solar powered

The battery is in the bottom of the film pack. You will notice 2 oval holes in the plastic that holds the film pack. The aluminum behind those holes are the battery contacts that power the flash, exposure electronics and the film eject motor.

Camera wont eject photo when picture is taken.

This is due to an old photo pack as they're all past the use by date now: the battery built in to it had just enough power to eject the protection sheet and take a photo, but then went flat. There's nothing you can do to remedy this unless you fit an external battery pack. There are no kits to do this with, you have to rig something up on a DIY basis but it is fairly simple with a few basic tools and a little ingenuity. The original batteries were 6v and the camera works at 4.5v; the higher voltage gives a bit of leeway as the battery slowly discharges whilst the film pack is stored and unused.

Shooting out film

Unfortunately you have a broken camera and it's not really fixable. There are plenty of free/cheap examples on FreeCycle and in thrift/charity shops but as you've discovered to your cost there's only one rather expensive way to find out whether they work...

I've just bought a Polaroid 600 camera off ebay and used the intructions on the Polaroid site to load the film. It said that once loaded and after the film door has been shut it would eject the film cover...

If the camera is showing no signs of life at all then you probably have an old stock photo pack loaded into it. These have the camera battery built in to them and like all batteries have a finite shelf life.

If you have a voltmeter then remove the photo pack and measure the voltage on the electrical contact points on the underside, if it's below a steady 6v then the battery is dead. If not the camera is dead and you can pick replacements up for less than the cost of a photo pack from thrift/charity shops and there's plenty of free ones available on Yahoo FreeCycle

How do I change the battery in a Polaroid Sun600 lms?

The battery is contained within the film pack. The battery in the film was designed to ensure that fresh batteries were in place each time a new film was inserted. This is the battery that operated the flash, and the film eject motor. Polaroid has wound down production of the 600 type film, and there is no replacement forthcoming.
