3. Càrrega de la pel·lícula
The Polaroid Procam uses instant film packs. Follow these steps to load a new film pack:
- Obriu la porta del compartiment de la pel·lícula de la càmera.
- Insert the new film pack, ensuring it is oriented correctly according to the indicators inside the compartment.
- Close the film compartment door firmly until it clicks into place. The dark slide will automatically eject.

2. Fer una foto
- Enquadra la teva presa: Mira a través del viewfinder to compose your image. The wide-angle lens allows for broad scenes.

- Press the Shutter Button: Gently press the shutter button located on the camera body. Hold the camera steady until the picture is ejected.
- Picture Ejection: The camera will automatically eject the exposed film. Allow the picture to develop in a dark place or face down to protect it from light during the initial development phase.
3. Using Exposure Control
The Polaroid Procam features exposure control to adjust the brightness of your photos. Locate the exposure control dial or buttons, usually marked with '+' for lighter and '-' for darker. Adjust these settings based on your lighting conditions and desired effect before taking a picture.
4. Imprinting Date and Time
Utilize the date display buttons to imprint the current date and time directly onto your photographs. Refer to the camera's specific markings near these buttons for setting instructions. This feature is useful for cataloging your memories.
