Polaroid 600 How To - Camera Guide

“If u pick up the camera after 20 or 30 years…” just happened. Being new in town, I asked an old timer at my job if he could recommend a shop for finding an old school Polaroid camera. He went in the back room and came out with a 30 year old Sun 600 LMS and handed it to me with a smile. He said, “It’s my gift to you.” Thank you, Nevzat for the camera and thank you Marco for the instruction. Cheers!

I just found my parents Polaroid camera and I was wondering how to install new batteries but then I came Across this video and you’re such a life saver!! Will definitely buy new film! Thank you so much , can’t wait to use it😊

Polaroid was ahead of it's time i dont care how expensive your camera is it will never be able to give you an old school picture to hang on the wall the moment you take the picture

I bought one of these in the late 90s for $10 to use for a couple of art school projects. It's been in a drawer ever since. I pulled it out recently and ran some film through it. It still works exactly the same. I found an early 80s Sun 600 at Goodwill for $6 and gave it to my niece. Still works. It's impressive how reliable they are.

*buys exact camera* *does not look anything relevant up to it on the internet* *gets recommended this*

Great, now I can use this to find pictures of DIO while smashing the camera in the process.

I am so glad that you went through everything so thoroughly. I've seen so many videos where they skip over things because they feel like it's obvious, but it really isn't. Thank you for being so detailed! I really appreciate it!

Thanks for this tutorial! I just acquired a Polaroid camera and had no idea how to work the damn thing. Love people who take the time and energy to create videos like this. Really helps out and I hope you receive the compensation you deserve for your work!

Was very pleased to find they're remaking these old film. I've just pulled out my old OneStep from the mid 90s when I was a kid. Can't wait to try it out again.

Thank you, I found my wife’s 600 after 30 yrs in the garage and we both didn’t remember how it worked. We had an idea but we found it funny we had to relearn how to use a 30 yr old camera we used for many years lol. Thanks for the refresh. My 12 yr old daughter is amazed with it. Can’t wait to start using it again.

So of course yesterday was Christmas and my grandma gave me her old Polaroid camera same exact as the video and it’s in really good condition! You answered all my questions I wasn’t sure if I had to buy a battery and film but it comes with the film so I am really excited about using it

Thank you for this introduction. I just found my parents Polaroid and me and my mom were planing on taking photos with it because it is in a very good condition. Best tutorial ever. You have answered on point every question we've had. Thank you!

Looooved the video, i just got my boyfriend one of these and we are so excited to use it now that we know exactly how it works. We wouldn’t have been able to figure it out without your video, thank you so much ❤️❤️

I went to my grandpa’s house not long ago and after sifting through old family photos, I found his camera (which happens to be the one in this video) and he gifted it to me! I have a Fujifilm Instax instant camera, but this is way cooler! I bought the film you mentioned and it works! I’m so excited to use it and keep the pictures coming. your tutorial was thorough and super helpful. no film shall go to waste now that I know the functions and how to properly use and maintain it. thank you so much! ☺️

The brightness feature and flash really helped me out. I got a great deal on my camera, I bought it at a local thrift store for only $2, half off from its original price. Online mine sells for about $130 So far I've bought only 3 packs of film because they are expensive for me. And I've been pretty sparing with them so they've lasted quite a while. I have some weird taken photos but I like that sort of raw, unfiltered, somewhat unprofessional look. But as I progress I'm sure to get more and more better photos. Thank you for this tutorial, it was very insightful!

Thank you SO MUCH for this video!! My mom just gave me her "onestep flash" polaroid vamera (the one with a red stripe) and I was so afraid of breaking it because it just would close! I've watched your video and everything became very clear -- including the battery doubt! Thank you for being thorough. While making a video, people may think some things are obvious but they are NOT! I'm going to buy some cartridges tomorrow and can't wait to start testing it!

Just dug mine up from storage when the film arrived. Had to get reacquainted with it after 16 years. I'm super excited and can't wait to use it. Great video🙏

Thank you for this video. I recently picked up an unused version of the Polaroid camera my grandfather had when I was young. What was initially going to be a small experiment has now become a very exciting project. This video has been super-helpful.

Just scored one of these for 20$ at an antique store and I doubted it was going to work from the low price and the fact that it had a REALLY old film cartridge still inside that had massive sun damage....But I removed the old film and tested it with new film just like you recommended and it worked so well that the noise of it ejecting the film pack cover actually scared me! Very informative video, thanks!
