Caution The Polaroid film process uses a caustic jelly which is safely packed inside sealed containers within the film pack. If accidentally you should get some of this jelly on your skin, wipe it off immediately. To avoid an alkali burn, wash the area with plenty of water as soon as possible. It is particularly important to keep the jelly away from eyes and mouth. Keep discarded materials out of reach of children and animals, and out of contact with clothing and furniture, as discarded materials still contain some jelly. 7 600/600 SE Camera User Guide How to pull the tabs After making the exposure, pull the white tab straight, all the way out of the camera.

Automatic flash units and color film It is recommended that you keep an automatic flash unit set for "manual" operation when using color film. When set for "automatic" operation, exposure is controlled by the duration of the flash. When your subject is close, the flash duration may be considerably shorter than 1/1, 000 sec. The resulting reciprocity effects tend to cause a color shift towards the warmer colors. If necessary, this can be corrected with weak cyan or blue and cyan CC filtration. Electronic flash (Picture 43) An electronic flash unit can be mounted on the accessory shoe on top of the camera (43A). The Model 600 SE has an additional accessory shoe on top of the handgrip (43B) that can be used for mounting the flash unit using the 75mm lens and viewfinder. If you use a large handle-type flash, a special bracket may be available for your unit that attaches to the flash mount on the side of the camera (44). If you use the bracket that comes with your unit, be sure it does not obstruct the film holder and its operation. The size of the opening is measured in f-numbers, which are marked on the lens ring. The highest f-number indicates the smallest opening; the lowest f-number indicates the largest opening. Filters The Models 600 and 600 SE lenses accommodate standard screw-in filters, available from your local photo dealer.
