Cleaning
WhenyoutakeaPolaroidphotograph,
thelmispushedthroughtwometal
rollers.Thisiswherethedeveloper
pasteisspreadbetweenthenegative
andpositivecomponentsofthe
photograph.Iftheserollersaredirty,
thechemistrywillnotspreadevenly,
andcancausesmallmarksonyour
developedphoto.
Whenyourcamerahasnolm,turnit
offandopenthelmdoor.Lookfor
twometalrollersnearthelmeject
slot.Positionasoft,dampclothover
therollers,andholdtheashand
shutterbuttonstogethertomakethem
turn.Becarefulthattheclothdoesn’t
causeajam.Makesuretherollersare
drybeforeyouuseyourcameraagain.
Werecommendcheckingtherollers
betweeneverypackoflm,andto
cleanthemevery2-3packs.
Tocleanthelens,useamicrober
cloth.Thiswillavoidscratchesand
materialparticlesthatmayimpactthe

Troubleshooting
1. My Polaroid Go won’t eject my
photo or darkslide.
Makesurethecameraischarged.The
batterylevelindicatorLEDwillblink
redifitdoesn’thaveenoughchargeto
operate.Ifthisisthecase,recharge
yourcamerathentryagain.Stillhaving
trouble?Checkhowmanyphotosyou
haveleft.Ifthelmcounterdisplay
shows‘0’,thismeansthatthereareno
photosleftinthelmpack.
2. The ash doesn’t re when
I take a photo.
ThePolaroidGohasadefaultash,so
itswitchesonassoonasyouturnon
thecamera.Ifit’snotring,pressthe
ashbuttonfor<1seconduntilyousee
aperiodappear(.)onthelmcounter
display.Becarefulthatyournger
doesn’taccidentallyturnofftheash
whenit’saimingfortheshutterbutton.
3. My photo turned out too dark.
Thereareafewpotentialsolutionsforthis.
Ifyou’reusingtheash,makesure
youdon’taccidentallycoveritwith
yourngers.
·Ifyou’reshootingoutside,avoid
directingthecameratowardsthesun.
Excessivelightmaycausethecamera
toovercompensatewhenexposingthe
photo,makingittoodark.
·Ifyou’retakingphotosinside,
rememberthatthePolaroidGohasa
ashlimitof2m(6.56ft).Ifyoursubject
isbeyondthat,yourphotomayalso
turnouttoodark.Ifyoudon’twantto
usetheash,ndanotherlightsource.
·Ifyou’rehalf-pressingtheshutterbutton
toplaywithyourcomposition,remember
thathalf-pressingalsolocksexposure,
notjustfocus.Sothecamerawillbase
exposureontherstlightreading.
4. My photo turned out blurry
or fuzzy.
Makesureyouareatleast45cm
(1.47ft)awayfromyoursubject.When
shooting,holdthecamerasteady
(especiallyinlowlightconditions),use
astronglightsourcetoilluminateyour
subject,andkeepyourngersaway
fromthecamera’ssensors,whichare
positionedundertheash.
5. The lm counter display shows
the wrong number.
Thedisplayresetsto‘8’eachtimea
cassetteisinserted.Ifapartiallyused
cassetteisinserted,thecamerawill
display‘8’andcountdownaseach
photoistaken.Whenyounextinserta
fulllmpack,thecounterwillcorrectly
show‘8’remainingphotos.
6. I took the rst shot of a double
exposure photo, but I changed
my mind.
Switchoffyourcamera,andthenpress
andholddowntheshutterbutton.
Switchonthecameraagainandthe
lmcountwilldisplay‘-’.Continueto
holdtheshutterbuttonforover10
secondsuntilthelmisejected.
7. I’ve opened the lm door by
accident. Now what?
Thesethingshappen.Thismeans
yournextphotographmaynowbe
overexposed.Takeaphototoremove
itfromthepack.Takeanotherto
seeiftherestofyourlmisingood
