I just picked up one of these for 99 at goodwill, excited to take some shots! Great video btw

[@forwardcameras]

Great cam please subscribe

[@downtownlife]

@1:52 Resellers: doesn't have a battery compartment. The film is the battery. 🎉😮

[@forwardcameras]

Yes I know it’s nice

[@allisonmae3445]

Wonderdul! Thanks!

[@forwardcameras]

No problem please subscribe

[@aidandericco9722]

Hi, thanks for the video! My One 600 is doing multiple exposures and I was wondering if this is fixable or what the issue is? Thanks in advance!

[@forwardcameras]

Probably not sorry for the bad news

[@morganimate]

have you had any problems with these cameras not ejecting the photos? it still ejects the cover when i insert a new pack but the rollers don't go when I take a shot ? I hold the button down for a long time so I don't know what I'm doing wrong?

[@forwardcameras]

In all honesty I have had issues like this. It could be broken, it could be that the battery in the film pack is low, it could be busted. Please subscribe

[@Tysxno]

I recently cleaned the internals of mine and had this issue and found out it was a bent pin on the connector to the button logic board, I straightened the pin and all worked fine

[@flaviencozette2705]

If I understood well, the battery is inside the film. Isn't it ?

[@forwardcameras]

Yes they are. It won’t turn on without the film. Please subscribe.

[@nataliaswiatek2372]

I bought new film and the battery works, but the black slide didn't go out. The metal roll inside in the front works. Do you ave any ideas what could it be, why the camera doesn't work?

[@forwardcameras]

If the camera doesn’t turn on with the new film it’s a dud camera. If the camera turns on but does not spit out dark slide it could also be a dud but I would try doing it a bunch of times in and out to wake it up. Many of the cameras haven’t seen light for 20 years so a few in and out or open and close the camera sometimes does the trick. If it doesn’t work I wouldn’t get it repaired it’s better to get a new one honestly. Please subscribe

[@nataliaswiatek2372]

@@forwardcameras The camera turn on, so I'm gonna try your advice. Thank you!

[@tataylefr2761]

ty couldnd figur out who and were too get the film

[@forwardcameras]

[@brink1181]

Can you turn the flash off on the one600?

[@forwardcameras]

I think it’s automatic and you can’t turn it off. Please subscribe :-)

[@Mildly_Irreverant]

Gaffer take over it - camera will still close

[@godabuse]

thanks

[@forwardcameras]

It means red eye reduction I think it sets the flash setting to prevent this problem if I recall correctly

[@godabuse]

@@forwardcameras thanks

[@xoxogossipdisco]

So does that mean you can't take selfies with this camera since the focus range starts at 3ft? It normally wouldn't matter to me except the project I wanted to purchase this camera for requires a couple selfies!

[@forwardcameras]

Well if you have a 3 foot arm it’s cool honestly not a selfie camera though

[@sandramainic9187]

Hi, where can you order cartridges for such a polaroid?

[@edgarmorales7132]

They got them at Walgreens

[@nickligammari7773]

Hey are these good cameras? I’m thinking of picking one up in hopes for a better option from a one step express

[@forwardcameras]

Honestly stick with the one step it’s a much better built camera. Please subscribe

[@lotusbomb7594]

Hi my blank photo didn't come out. Any idea on what I could do or where I can repair it ?

[@forwardcameras]

Sadly this particular polaroid isn’t worth going to get fixed it would be way too costly. If it is a matter of expired film or an old film pack the battery in the film might also be dead. Please subscribe

[@robertknight4672]

@@forwardcameras it's a shame these won't build as well as the other 600 cameras. The few shots and got out of mine exposed well.

[@youtumax1996]

Hi! I heard the flash button has 3 different modes? Flash on, red eye, and flash off, how does the red eye mode work? Thankss✨

[@forwardcameras]

Depends which model honestly

[@BigOldCarChannel]

Redeye mode seems to change the timing of the flash. I dunno, it's all magic, but it seems to work pretty well!

[@godabuse]

@@forwardcameras the one you have in the video does it

[@godabuse]

@@BigOldCarChannel oh cool so it removes redeye?

[@BigOldCarChannel]

@@godabuse I have two. One of them works by shining a red LED at the subjects to get their pupils to close, then fires the flash and takes the photo. My other one either works differently or didn't work at all, LOL

[@jusmeo2751]

I recently found my camera and tested it out. It won’t print the film! Please help

[@forwardcameras]

Does it eject the black first slide or not? In all honesty it could be busted. If the film’s battery pack is dead then it wouldn’t work though also. Please subscribe

[@nicor2126]

I bought my camera at a thrift store not too long ago and the viewfinder won’t pop up. Do you have any tips on how to get that un stuck?

[@forwardcameras]

Unfortunately I wouldn’t be able to know for sure what the problem is. They aren’t as durable as some of the other 600 cams. Please subscribe

[@BigOldCarChannel]

Hey, I just picked one up in the same condition for $7! It's all plastic construction, but it's pretty sturdy anyway. I forced my viewfinder up into place, and after a few uses, whatever cam or post inside that is supposed to lock the viewfinder in position popped back into place. So my recommendation to you is to just sort of mess around with it. As my friend said, "It's already broken, so what's the worst that could happen? You break it more?"

[@nicor2126]

@@BigOldCarChannel thank you for the help I did fix it. There was a sticky residue that looked like it was probably a sweet drink that spilled on it. I just pried it up with a knife and it works fine now

[@caitlynribas6072]

i have my film in however it won’t turn on. Do you know what the problem is?

[@forwardcameras]

The film battery may not have electricity or camera is dead.

[@godabuse]

what does the eyeball do?

[@forwardcameras]

Eyeball?

[@godabuse]

@@forwardcameras the eye flash setting, it’s the 3rd flash setting

[@robertknight4672]

That would be a red eye reduction setting. The eyeball is very common symbol for that in photography. Kind of necessary on this camera is The Flash's much closer to the lens compared to other Polaroid cameras. The further awaya flash is from the lens the chances of red eye in the photo are greatly reduced.

[@lifeisgood12341]

Mine tends to overexpose images not sure how to fix that

[@forwardcameras]

Honestly this is a common issue with older polaroids. Not much can be done unless you have the model with the lighten darken tab. If you do you can darken the photo a bit by pressing the darken button. Please subscribe. :-)

[@chrissy_matia]

Use sunglasses in from of the lens

[@erdenmernica6422]

mine has a green blinking light and wont take pictures

[@forwardcameras]

It’s broken for sure. Sorry I’ve had this issue many times. Might be a faulty capacitor trying to charge.

[@erdenmernica6422]

@@forwardcameras I found it thrifting, it is worth it to buy a new set of polaroids and try again? maybe the ones that came inside ran out of juice? thoughts, TY.

[@juliemarielle]

My camera is not working. I never get a picture.

Honestly I would buy another one if it doesn’t work not worth trying to fix this one. It’s cheaper to buy a different one
