Getting Started
1. Open the box and check you
have the following items:
01 PolaroidGoCamera
02 MicroUSBChargingCable
03 QuickStartGuide
04 WristStrap
2. Charge the camera
Forsafetransportation,thePolaroidGo
won’tbefullychargedwhenyoureceive
it.Tochargeit,plugthemicroUSBend
ofthechargingcableintothesideof
thecamera,andtheUSB-Asideinto
aUSBwallcharger(5V/1A).Wedon’t
recommendchargingviaalaptop.
ThebatterylevelindicatorLEDwillblink
greenwhilethecameraispluggedinand
charging.ThisLEDwillturnoffoncethe
cameraisfullycharged.Afullcharge
throughawallsockettakesabout2
hours.AfullychargedPolaroidGowill
haveenoughpowertoshoot15packs
oflm,dependingonusage.Remember
toturnoffthecamerawhenyou’renot
usingittosavebatterylife.
3. Attach the wrist strap
01
eject.Removethedarkslideandallowthe
lmshieldtorollbackin.Thisretractable
shieldisdesignedtoprotectphotosfrom
lightastheydevelop,sodon’tremoveit.
Ifthedarkslidehasnotejected,remove
thelmpackandreinsertit.
Toensurethecameradisplaysthecorrect
numberofphotos,alwaysnishthelm
packbeforeinsertinganewone.Ifyou
decidetoswitchpacksanyway,beaware
thatthiswillexposeallthephotostolight,
andtheywillbeunusable.
3. Set the ash mode
Inanysituationwhereyouarenot
shootinginbright,directsunlight,we
recommendusingtheashtoachieve
thebestshots.That’swhytheashwill
triggerbydefaulteverytimeyoupress
theshutterbutton.Whentheashison,
aperiod(.)willappearnexttothenumber
onthelmcounterdisplay.Ifyouwant
toturnitoff—becauseyou’reoutsideon
abrightdayorwanttoplaywithanother
lightsource—presstheashbutton.The
periodonthelmcounterdisplaywill
nowdisappear.
4. Position yourself
Makesureyouareatleast45cm
(1.47ft)awayfromyoursubject.
5. Aim the camera at your subject.
ThePolaroidGousesaviewnderlocated
ontheleftsideofthelensbarrel.Toaim
atyoursubject,alignyoureyewiththe
viewnderbarrelandusetheimageyou
seetohelpcomposeyourshot.Beaware
thatyourphotowillnotreectexactly
whatyouseethroughtheviewnder.For
subjectscloserthan1.2m(5.24ft),adjust
youraimslightlyupandtotheleft.
It’spossibletofocusonyoursubject,
andthenrecomposeyourframe.Todo
this,half-presstheshutterbuttonto
lockfocusandexposure.Adjustyour
composition,andthenfullypressthe
shutterbuttontotakethephoto.Be
carefulnottocovertheash,ranging
sensors(thatsitbelowtheash),and
thephotoejectslotwithyourngers.
6. Press the shutter button
Thephotowillejectfromtheslotatthe
frontofthecameraassoonasyoulet
gooftheshutterbutton.Youwillsee
thatthephotowillbecoveredwitha
lmshieldtoprotectitfromlight.
7. Remove the photo
Leaveyourphotounderthelmshield
forabout5seconds.Gentlyliftthe
lmshieldsoitrollsbackintothe
camera.Removethephotoandplace
itfacedowntocontinueshieldingit
fromlightasitdevelops.Don’tshake
it!Checkthebackofyourlmpacket
forthecorrectdevelopingtimes.
8. Turn the camera off
PresstheON|OFFbuttontoturn
offthePolaroidGo.
How To Use Light To
Take Great Photos
Lightisyourbestfriendwhenitcomes
toanaloginstantphotography,sowe
recommendtoalmostalwaysusethe
ash.ThePolaroidGoashreaches
2m(6.56ft),soifyoursubjectisfurther,
yourashphotomayturnouttoodark.
Ifyou’reoutdoorsandyoursubjectis
beyondtheashrange,werecommend
keepingtheashoff.Thiswillprevent
thecamerafromadjustingitsaperture,
resultinginanunderexposedphoto.
Ifit’sasunnydayoutdoors,letthesun
beyourlightsource.Positionyourself
sothesunisbehindyou,faceyour
subjectside-ontoavoidashadow,turn
theashoff,andkeepthecameraas
steadyaspossible.
Special Features
Sele Mirror
ThePolaroidGoincludesabuilt-insele
mirror.Touseit,holdthecamerainyour
lefthandandcomposeyourseleusing
themirrorontherightofthecamera.
Trytopositionthecameraabout45cm
(1.47ft)awayfromyou.Pressthered
shutterbuttontotakeyourphoto.
Self-timer
Geteveryoneinthephotowiththe
PolaroidGoself-timer.Holdtheself-timer
buttonfor>2seconds.TheorangeLED
belowtheashonthefrontofthecamera
willturnon.Onceyouhaveframedyour
photo,presstheshutterbutton.The
orangeLEDwillblinktoindicatetheself-
timercountdown.Youhave9seconds
beforethephotoistaken.Ifyouchange
yourmind,youcancanceltheself-timer
byholdingitdownagainfor>2seconds.
Totakeaself-timerphotowithoutthe
ash,activatetheself-timerrst.Now
holdthesamebuttonfor<1secondto
disabletheash.Takeyourphoto.
Double Exposure
Combinetwoexposuresintheone

Doubletapthedoubleexposurebutton
tostart.Thelmcounterdisplaywill
blink‘1’.Youcannowtakeyourrst
exposure.Itwillthenblink‘2’asasignal
totakeyoursecondexposure.

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
qualityofyourphotos.
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
condition.Ifnot,insertanewlmpack.
