Position your subject

Your subject should be within the camera’s

flash range:

Impulse – 4 to 10 feet (1.2 to 3m)

Impulse AF – 2 to 14 feet (.6 to 4.25m)

For best results, your subject should also

be near a light-colored background.

Indoors

(Be sure there are objects

green, the electronic flash is ready to fire

again. If the green light goes off and you

want to take another picture, lightly touch

and release the shutter button to

recharge the electronic flash.

Take the picture

Use the lighten/darken control when you want

to retake a picture to make it lighter or

darker.

To take a lighter picture, slide the

control all the way to the lighten setting

(a).

To take a darker picture, slide the

control all the way to the darken setting

(b).

Other Features

The lighten/darken control

When you have finished retaking the

picture, return the control to the center

position (c).

Note: Pictures taken of people in highly

reflective beach or snow scenes

often turn out too dark. Set the

control all the way to the lighten

setting (a) before taking this type of

picture.

The self-timer lets you get into your picture. To

use this feature:

1. Place the camera on a tripod or other steady

support.

2. Frame your picture in the viewfinder.

3. Push the self-timer button down and release

it (d).

You now have 12 seconds to get into your

picture. During the first 10 seconds, you will

see a flashing red light (e) on the front of the

camera.

Two seconds before the camera takes the

picture, the red light will stay on to remind you

to hold still and smile. If you want to stop the

12-second countdown, push the self-timer

button down and release (d).

The self-timer (Impulse AF only)

Impulse Series Camera User Guide

When you take a picture, your camera uses

sound waves to measure the distance to your

subject.

A built-in computer then uses this

measurement to provide the correct lens

setting.

The sound waves travel to the central part of

the scene (approximate area circled in

white), so be sure there are no objects in

front of your subject.

Sonar focusing (Impulse AF only)

Keep the camera free of water and sand.

Avoid storing the camera in hot places.

Camera care Avoid touching the lens. Remove dust and

fingerprints by breathing on the lens and

wiping it gently with a clean, soft, facial

tissue.

Do not use silicone-treated

eyeglass tissues.

Lens care

Film care

During the first 60 seconds of development,

handle the picture gently. Fanning or

bending the picture will disturb the

development process.

At temperatures below 55° F (13° C),

immediately place the developing picture

(being careful not to bend it) in a warm pocket

for at least a minute. In hot weather, keep the

developing picture cool by placing it in shade.

Picture care

For best results, use 600 color film when the

temperature is between 55° F (13° C) and

95° F (13° C). At temperatures below 55° F

(13° C), keep the camera and film as warm as

possible. Above 95° F (13° C), keep the

camera and film as cool as possible. Store the

film below 75° F (24° C), if possible. In its

sealed box, the film can be refrigerated (not

frozen).

Impulse Series Camera User Guide

By following these three simple rules, you will

take better pictures indoors and out:

• Include color – Look for color when

framing the scene in the viewfinder or use

colorful props.

• Move in close – You can take the most

pleasing picture of peoplewhen they are 3

to 5 feet (.9 to 1.5m) from the camera.

To take better pictures

Camera accessories

The accessories listed add to the versatility of your camera and to your enjoyment of your

photographs. For information on these and other accessories, please contact your dealer or

your nearest Polaroid office.

• Look for light-colored backgrounds

indoors –– When your subject is near

a light background, both are well lit by the

flash.

Camera bags

These durable, padded nylon bags hold a

camera, film, and accessories. Each has an

adjustable strap.

PhotoFile 20

This distinctively styled photo album holds 20

photos and offers easy flip-through viewing.
