Rear View Compatible Films Use Polaroid 600 or Type 779 color film with your Polaroid 690 SLR camera. Loading Film First, make sure you are using an instant film that is compatible with your 690 SLR Camera. 1 Push the yellow film door lever down to open the film door.
Taking Photos Flash Override 1 Grasp the camera in your left hand, making sure to keep your fingers behind the film door. In certain circumstances, such as taking a photograph through a window or photographing a metallic surface, it may be necessary to override the automatic flash. Place your right thumb on the thumb rest with your index finger on the shutter button. Curl your other fingers into your palm. To do this, slide the flash control switch to the right. The automatic flash is disabled.
Special Maintenance Note To darken a photo, move the control dial so that the white/black area of the dial is directly beneath the black line. This is the standard darken setting. The spots on the photo to the right have been caused by dirty developer rollers. Begin with this standard darken setting. To darken a photo even more, move the white/black area of the dial to the left of the black line. Always be sure to return the control to the normal setting position before taking your next photo.
