The Easy Peazy Guide to The Polaroid 600 COOL CAM

This is the video I should have watched back in 2014 when I first got my camera. I gathered all the handy information I could to share all the basics so you can get to shooting!
The most important thing to take away from this video: You don't have to be good at something to enjoy it. You can have a hobby and not be the best at it and still have all the fun in the world.
Thank you to everyone who watches this, I know this doesn't necessarily pertain to my audience but I figured it could be helpful to someone down the line.
As ALWAYS,
I love you people.
p.s. I got a new battery and a new memory card for my canon t3i so I filmed this on my real camera. It looks great in comparison to my other videos so I am excited to continue:-)

Sis, you did an amazing job describing everything about this camera. It was clear, concise, and understandable. I really really appreciate your review. And the encouragement at the end was super helpful, thank you!

[@cassidy983]

Wow this was really sweet to hear. Thank you❤️

[@mer_claire]

I found a grey/pink one in my garage... Mint condition. I wanted to CRY, I'm still in shock. Your video has been SO helpful-- try my "new" toy tonight!! ❤️❤️❤️

I have the pink and grey versión of that camera, but always wondered about the little button that is below on the left side of where the flash is

[@nicoruizmejia6801]

I like it so much thanks a lot today I bought this camera at a flea market for 10 bucks but I didn’t know how this works, thanks a lot !!!!!

[@la_gatalina]

Thank you!!! I had ideas of how my dad's old Polaroid camera worked and I'm so glad I found your video! 😘 My initial photos came out a bit purple so my guesses are that the summer heat is a factor and/or I was taking photos in low light in my small bedroom at night. Any idea why my photos came out that way?

[@lordvash]

Thank you so much I needed this

[@cassidy983]

Anytime :-)

[@diegoantoniocuestasromero9009]

THAANKKSSSS IT WAS REALLY HELPFULL

[@vonbon4072]

Great video 👏🏽

[@H3LLMOUTH]

I like the cam and love the Zelda Outro!

[@cassidy983]

Thank you!!! I thought that Zelda remix was really cool too!

[@dontclickhere4414]

The Red Polaroid 600 Cool Camera was also made in the USA. I just got one and it does say Made in the USA.

[@cassidy983]

Omg that’s awesome!!!

[@camile4809]

[@cassidy983]

Omg $6?!!!? That’s awesome!!!! What a lucky find. I’m glad I could help:-)

[@salmalvarez]

Love your video 🫀

[@lilytarrant4019]

Hi! I was thinking of getting this camera or the black polaroid NOW one for me and my boyfriend to use for our summer adventures. It's more of a gift for him so I'm trying to decide on the style and functionality. Would you recommend this one? Is it fairly easy to use and get good pictures on? :)

[@TheEigylyte]

sooo that button for dark and light ...do i need press dark when im in dark place and press light if im in light place to make normal pics or i need do it oposite and how make pics at night ?

[@thelord8678]

Thank you I've been trying to figure out where the battery was

[@Wilmafistfit69]

My gf got this for her niece, and it doesn't seem to be working. The first film cart battery was dead and the others just have the red flash light turn on. It doesnt turn green and it doesnt take a picture. Any idea of what I can do?

[@High_schooldropout]

Do you know how to takeoff the neck strap or if you even can ?

[@chrissybabyist]

I’m actually in a bidding war for this very camera.

[@b.bobpetepete.5010]

I used one of these cameras in the 80s,it wasn't as nice looking as this red one. I love it, thinking about buying one, but cant believe how much the film is now. Can you use the regular poloroid 600 film? Thanks for ur vidio.

[@cheetodust745]

Thanks for the video just found one at the thrift for 20$ CAD!

[@alejandraazucena1218]

Just have fun! :)

[@Tguin]

I have an exact one. My film keeps on getting jammed in. I figured it would be the film. The film is so old that it was in the camera since the 80’s. Would it be the film that is so old that it isn’t coming out of the camera? Or would it be the camera itself?

[@Mulokaj]

Dear, short question. So only things 4 feet away are in focus?

[@ntyjohn4306]

Hey, I was wondering, mine says "made in USA," do you think I should be alarmed by that?????

[@jondargel1496]

Ok but how do you close the flash??

[@0730bcorm]

There’s also a neon pink and green!

[@grey59angel]

I have the pink and grey one

[@Adam-cy3ns]

My grandpa gave me mine as a gift I love it. It is kinda steep for 2 dollars a shot but, ya know it can’t be so bad if I use it on trips

[@cassidy983]

Exactly! That’s a perfect idea! Even better that it’s a gift from grandpa :-)

[@okamicookie]

Paws up! Does anyone know how to clean the mirror inside?

[@marisolm2855]

In order to open up the lense, do you need to have film in it to open?

[@cassidy983]

Marisol M to open the camera you just have to slide the button on the side, no need for film to open it! You can open it and see what kind of film it takes before you ever have film.

[@aariatackett3392]

So I have this exact camera, and I put in a new pack of cartridge and the pictures immediately started printing out. It’s been making this clicking/printing out noise ever since. The red light blinks for every click. Is this because of all the times someone’s tried to take a picture and it’s trying to catch up? Or is it just broken?

[@cassidy983]

hmmm I don’t think it’s because all the times someone has tried to take a picture. I wonder if there is an issue with the button that’s used to take the photo. Does it flash when it’s making this noise? Maybe the button is jammed a little bit?

[@folklormia6115]

Thanks I have one and could not work it I will sub

[@carneilhickman870]

My picture wont show it just come out black

[@beer7628]

How can I change the battery?

[@cassidy983]

The battery is actually inside the film cartridge! So whenever you change the film, it changes the battery :-)

[@tipsvids3272]

that was a good camra buy it hase a bag and it is brand new btw whith years it will get more esy to open the camra

[@cassidy983]

I feel super thankful it has a cool bag that came with it! Also awesome I sure hope it does :-) thanks for watching

[@whatevezzz]

I'm getting this camera, but the film is gonna cost me a lot 🤪

[@cassidy983]

Amna it’ll be so worth it!!! I’m so excited for you!!!!

[@BigMonsta1300]

I have the pink and grey one lol

[@hitbyabus4615]

It’s known as a 1-step camera. It takes way more than 1 step. (Steps: 1. Press lower button to open. 2. Load film in. 3. Close and take out black sheet. 4. Flip up lens. 5. Press big orange or small black button to take picture. 6. Let picture develop in dark area for 15min.) not 1 step huh

[@cassidy983]

Lol very true a lot of steps but probably considered simple during its “time”

[@foureyedape3561]

About to buy one for $50

[@cassidy983]

FourEyed Ape do it!!!! Let me know how you like it :-)

[@rondas7772]

U can tell you're young lol lol, I was actually around when this came out lol

[@cassidy983]

That’s so awesome! Did you have one?

[@rondas7772]

@@cassidy983 oh yes, you betcha

[@ch0r1z0]
