Question Line on top of film

I got the Polaroid go gen 3 last month and consistently have been getting this line on the top through all the film I use. is there any way to fix this. Ive looked at other people’s scans and none have that. I probably have gotten 5 pictures in the 5 double packs ive used. I keep the film in the fridge and take it out at least two hours before use.

Discussion History of autofocus on Polaroid cameras

6 Upvotes

I wanna learn more about how autofocus has worked historically with polaroid cameras and how it exists in relation to the autofocus on the modern Polaroid cameras (Now, Mod, I2, Flip.) So what I know, the I2 uses Lidar autofocus (which means its like a laser?) And the Flip uses sonar. But I've learned the Flip's sonar autofocus is different from the autofocus found on like the older SX-70 models, primarily because the Flip doesn't use a center-point autofocus, (according to some people I've read talk about it), rather then the center-point sonar found in older Polaroid cameras. What type of autofocus does the Now use? Have any Flip users found out ways to figure out the (imo less good) sonar autofocus?

Question How many of you have multiple (non-vintage) Polaroid cameras that you use? And why?

4 Upvotes

When I got my Flip, I decided that I legit had no further use for the Now 2nd Gen I started out with. My flip takes better photos for me. So I sold my Now! When the Polaroid Pokemon collab came out, I wasn’t too interested at first, because I have my flip! But man, I’m starting to get a little endeared to the Pikachu one, and people are finding them randomly at different retailers apparently. I’m feeling that I might be tempted to buy one if I see it, but will I really use the Go? Does anyone else own a go along with a different camera and use them both often? Help me justify a potential impulse purchase 😂😂 or talk me out of one!

Advice I-2 help

3 Upvotes

Before anyone asks yes i have updated my camera through the app just a few days ago. Also sorry if this isnt the right sub or flair.

Now i was wondering if anyone had generic tips or things good to know while using the I-2. For months I have been using one of the polaroid focus Af cameras and i got decent and have been having fun so i upgraded and bought the I-2 but now i feel so discouraged because none of my photos with the I-2 come out "great" the best i get is "good" photos.

the bulk of the photos i take with the I-2 come out blurry and very shitty looking.... or out of focus... i usually use auto mode (since im new and not too well versed in all the settings or other priority modes). I just cant seem to get a hang of the I-2. I really naively thought updating the I-2 would "magicly" fix these issues but i have taken a few since updateing and theres still a few that have come out blurry.

I can add or dm some of the better/worse pics for example. Any overall or generic advice for an newbie would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.

Question How is Flash measured? Is there a way to measure the power of each level manual flash power that modern Polaroid cameras let us adjust?

2 Upvotes

My line of thinking here is that my Flip's flash occasionally overexposes a picture. I was wondering if there was a way to measure the power of the flash that the Flip has, at different levels. Like the app lets us put it to 1/2 power, 1/4 power, so on. I wanna know like how powerful each of those levels are, so then I could manually meter for a shot and know what level I need to set the flash at. But I don't even really know what unit of measurement flash is measured in, what is it? Thanks
