User manual POLAROID 690 SLR

[. . . ] This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. [. . . ] If the flash bursts and a photo is ejected, the shutter button was pressed too firmly. While keeping the shutter button lightly pressed down, the lens will spin and set, bringing your scene into sharp focus. If the camera pauses briefly before focusing the lens, the flash is momentarily charging. After the lens is brought into focus an accurate preview of the scene is visible. You may preview as often as you choose without depleting the camera's battery. The battery that powers the camera is located inside the film pack and is sufficient to take many previews per each pack of film. 2 Use the electronic flash for every photo, both outdoors and indoors. The flash automatically corrects common lighting problems encountered in both environments. For best results, position your subject(s) anywhere from 10 inches to 14 feet away from the camera. The camera uses sound waves to determine the distance between the camera and the photo subject, and any obstructions will cause your photo to be incorrectly exposed. Make sure to keep the sun or other source of light behind you, or at your side. Continue to hold the camera steady until the photo has ejected from the camera. If the temperature is below 55° F, place the photo immediately in a warm pocket or other warm location to develop. Flash Override In certain circumstances, such as taking a photograph through a window or photographing a metallic surface, it may be necessary to override the automatic flash. You can now take a photo without the flash by pressing the shutter button. Manual Focus To override the camera's automatic focus, push the manual focus switch down so that the red portion of the switch is visible. Turn the manual focus control dial until your scene is in clear focus. Press the manual focus switch up to return the camera to automatic focus. Lighten/Darken Control The lighten/darken control feature is located on the front of your camera. [. . . ] Your camera will automatically make an exposure appropriate for the environmental settings.
