Notes

[2]
When using TTL-flash metering Fill-in flash is not as expected. What you want is to use ambient light and to add a small amount of flash; what you get is full auto-flash and you can cut back on ambient light only. That‘s the other way around. For Fill-in flash change from TTL to the Auto exposure function of the flash unit. This was amended with the Integral 2 and the AF. Back
[3]
The film speed is to be set on the camera. There is no transmission of film speeds from the magazine to the camera. Back

Polaroid Pack Films Guide. The Polaroid Pack Films Guide from the former Polaroid web-site. For users of the Polaroid pack film backs. You will need the 2¼×3¼ in size. Polaroid Pack Film is not availabe anymore and is not coming back through The Impossible Project. The machines were scrapped. Fujifilm also stopped producing Pack Film FP-100C. Back
