Load the batteries (Macro 5 only)
The camera requires four AA batteries to
provide power for the ranging lights. Alka-
line batteries (standard or rechargeable) are
recommended; rechargeable NiCad batter-
ies also can be used.
The battery compartment is located in the
handgrip; slide the battery door open (2);
the battery holder will pop up. Unsnap the
battery clip (3) and remove the battery
holder (4). Insert the batteries in the orien-
tation shown on the holder (5). Replace
the battery holder, snap on the clip and
close door.
Important: Remove the batteries and store
them separately if the camera will not be
used for an extended period of time. Use
of the camera in extreme heat or cold will
shorten battery life.
See Battery cautions.
Load the film
The camera uses Polaroid HighDefinition
instant self-developing color films, 1200
Film with 12 frames per pack or T990, and
Gridfilm with 10 frames per pack. These
high-speed (ISO640/29() films are bal-
anced for electronic flash and daylight
(5500K), and produce positive color prints.
1 Press the film door release button; the door
drops open (6).
2 Check that the film processing rollers are
clean, before loading the film. Dirt or bits
of dried developer on the rollers can cause
a pattern of repeated spots or bars on pic-
tures. Clean both rollers with a soft, lint-
free cloth, dampened with water if neces-
sary (7). Rotate the rollers as you clean
and inspect them.
3 Hold the film pack by the edges, with the
safety cover facing up (8). Slide the pack
all the way into the camera.
