THANK YOU SO MUCH!! For my first test run on my camera i started to shake it in the middle of the sun and was sitting here lookin like an idiot like "why's it blurry?? 🙁" lol. Thank you for not letting me waste any more of this precious film!
Hey, thanks for the video, i have bought sx-70 film which has 8 photos in there. Do i need to take them all immediately or can i shoot one photo and then shoot another one weeks later is that possible??
You can shoot them later no problem. However do not wait too long or leave the camera in the heat or cold because it may dry out the film inside or the battery might drain and die. Please subscribe to our channel.
What is the main cause for blurry photos with this camera? How long should you expect to wait for the film to develop? I have repaired a really old one (Land Camera 1000) but photos are really dark and blurry, and take about 30 mins to fully develop. I took my test pictures outside off my balcony in full daylight with the exposure setting maxed out at white, but it still looks dark. I also have the Polatronic flash, but it's really a quick blitz flash, like a millisecond, not like the slow room filling deliberate flash seen on modern cameras. The flash is so quick, how could this possibly work with this camera, considering we have to hold the button down for ages to keep the shutter open for all that time, but in reality in a dark room with just the flash as a light source it only gets a microsecond of light?
Well I would normally say that you need bright light for this camera but they do age. Their light meter censor and internal circuits also do age and sometimes time gets to them so the exposures don’t come out correctly. You might have a dud.
I’ve just purchased one of these, I’m using a neutral filter with color 600 film as I read it’s possible I’ve installed it all correctly. But when I take pictures my film isn’t developing it just shows black or grey images I’m in a very well lighted room. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
I accidentally bought a 600 film and it works perfectly fine for me (both color and b&w) but I also got nothing to compare it to, those are my first packs
Hello, I successfully loaded the film and it ejected the first photo. But the camera won't take a photo when I push the shutter button. The film is successfully loaded. Do you have a suggestion for me. I have looked everywhere and cannot find an answer. Thank you for any help you can give.
Went alittle too fast explaining the light and dark round button. I was hoping for more explanation of that button and how it works, but everything else was greatly explained. Thanks
To be honest these cameras have issues and this is not uncommon. It could also be that it needs complete cleaning or that the battery pack is not giving it enough energy
Do you need to hold down the button? I got a couple good shots before all of my photos started getting a motion blur on them and I can’t figure out why.
That might be because there isn’t enough light. The sx70 film needs very bright sunlight to work. Indoor photos will all be blurry and dark without the flash. Please subscribe.
Thanks! Just resurrected mine from my childhood. I'd forgotten to hold the button until the photo comes out. This will save me lots of blur.
Thanks please subscribe

@@forwardcameras I’ll sub, good video
I have the same one and mine was able to take 600 film, which shows the 10 slide!
would have been nice to see actual film tested with it but a good vid nonetheless
Thanks: Please subscribe
The little knob on the front, I think that exposure. I can't get it to work, I mainly don't understand how to work it.
Move to dark to make darker move to light to make picture brighter. For modern film start the dial at 1/3 of the way towards dark
Can I ask about the valeur for one like it from 1977s
Usually I sell them for about 50 usd

Unfortunately some of these cameras are finicky and could have issues
Hello! Would Polaroid one step 600 film work with this? Or only the sx-70 film?
Use sx70 film unless you have a ND filter for the 600 film please subscribe :-)

This has happened to me many times. Unfortunately the camera is old and this happens. I would get another one. Not worth the fix. Please subscribe.
I have the same problem with one of my SX-70 cameras. I have no idea what it is.
This happened to me. I banged the camera and it worked after that.
Hiii, is it possible this camera has an accessory like a chronometer?
No sorry just an easy simple camera. Please subscribe
Hi! Can i use Color iType film with this camera? (Or that is just for one step 2?)
No unfortunately not need sx70 film from Polaroid please subscribe

No problem I’m glad you liked it! Please subscribe.
My SX 70 Polaroid 1000 doesn't spit out the sealing/protection, i don't know why?

Hello I just bought a Onestep camera I was wondering if you could use 600 film thanks.
I would use sx70 film, but if you buy the nd filter from polaroid you can use the 600 film please subscribe

The shutter is automatic based on light. If there is a lot of light, the shutter will be faster and you’ll get less blur.
Hi the top by the button is warm is it supposed to do that😅
These days Oder Polaroids sometimes get a bit warm. Please subscribe
Hay man, i have a question: Can i use 600 film with this camera?
Yes if you put an ND filter on it
@@forwardcameras but I can still use it with put the ND filter?
Does it take decent landscape photos ?
In my opinion no
The photos of landscapes are a bit blurry
Why won’t my cartridge go in it keeps getting stuck on something every time I try to put it in
Yes you need sx70 film if it doesn’t say that it won’t work it won’t enter please subscribe
So if all these steps have been done and still no picture comes out, what would be the next troubleshooting step for the rainbow onestep?
Honestly check the battery. Did the first black slide come out?
@@forwardcameras yes the first slide came out but I did get the film from an Amazon seller.
I’ve also opened the face covering to see if the wiring is intact and everything looks good
I don’t think it lets you take a pic if it thinks it’s too dark
