Opening & closing the camera

Holding the camera

Hold camera in your left hand with your thumb and fingers behind the hinge (A). Fingers must not block the exit slot and thumb should not touch the bellows. Raise the camera so your eye is close to the viewfinder.
Hold the camera in the palm of your left hand. Grasp the sides of the viewfinder cap at the rear (ribbed surfaces).
Lift straight up until cover support (A) locks.

Taking the picture

Look through the center of the eyepiece. Rest your thumb on the back of the shutter housing, with your right forefinger on the shutter button. Curl the other fingers into your palm. Bring your eye close to the viewfinder so you can see all four corners of the black frame inside. Hold the camera steady. After focusing, squeeze the shutter button all the way down until the picture exits.
To close the camera, push cover support to the rear. Press down on the viewfinder cap until both sides latch.
Loading & unloading film
All SX-70 cameras use Polaroid Time-Zero SX-70 film. Push the film door latch (A) down to open the film door. Hold the film pack by its edges and push it into the camera. With your fingers away from the picture exit slot, close the film door. The motor will run and eject the film cover.

Focusing the camera

Your SX-70 camera has a split-image circle in the center of the viewfinder image. Aim camera so that the split circle is over a vertical line or edge that you want sharp in your picture. Turn the focus wheel until the vertical line in the top half circle lines up with the line in the lower half circle. The split circle helps you focus, not frame or view. It is placed low in the viewfinder so it wont interfere with viewing. This means you may have to reframe your picture after you focus. When you reframe, dont change your distance from the subject. Simply point the camera down or to one side until you see in the viewfinder exactly what you want in the picture. The SX-70 Model 3 is not a single lens reflex camera. To focus, estimate the distance from the lens to your subject (if closer than 3 feet, measure it), then turn the focus wheel until the correct distance is opposite the white line. Outdoors with subject more than 15 feet away, set lens at infinity mark.
Note that the film counter on the back of the camera sets to ten. It counts backwards indicating the number of shots remaining. After shooting ten pictures, remove the film pack by opening the film door and pulling the pack out by the little tab.

Sonar/Autofocus

SX-70 Sonar/Autofocus models focus automatically using sound wave technology. Simply aim the camera at your subject, press the shutter button and hold the camera steady until the picture ejects. These Sonar/Autofocus models let you preview your picture. Lightly press the shutter button part way down to see what your picture will look like. Then either press the button all the way down to take the picture, or release it and change your position or the camera angle and preview again. CAUTION: If theres a window pane, glass display case, wall hanging, etc. in front of your subject, the sonar may be fooled and reflect an incorrect focus distance. Preview your picture in the viewfinder to be sure the sonar provides proper focus. If it doesnt, disconnect the sonar by pressing on the switch above the focus wheel until the red line shows. Then use the focus wheel to set your camera manually to the correct lens-to-subject distance until the image is clear. Dont forget to turn the automatic sonar focusing feature back on for later pictures; just press the top of the switch or close the camera.

Using FlashBars

Note that FlashBars are no longer manufactured. For information about thirdparty vendors, call Americas Business Center, 1-800-343-5000, or visit www.polaroid.com. Flash must be used for indoor pictures. Effective FlashBar ranges are 10.4 inches to 20 feet. Insert a FlashBar into the socket in the camera and push in firmly. (On SX-70 Model 3 with socket on the top of the viewfinder, depress viewfinder cap all the way as FlashBar is inserted, then release it slowly.) On other models, the FlashBar socket is on the top front of the camera body above the lens or sonar. When all five bulbs on one side are used, remove the FlashBar and turn it around for the remaining five bulbs. IMPORTANT FLASH REMINDERS

Lighten/Darken control

If subject is too light or too dark in daylight pictures, compensate by turning the Lighten/Darken control one mark and shoot again in the same place with the same lighting. White area lightens picture, dark area darkens.
Set the focus distance carefullysetting affects exposure. Place subject close to a colorful background, if possible. In group pictures, have everyone about the same distance from the flash for even lighting. Avoid hot spots and reflections from mirrors, windows, artwork, eyeglasses, etc. reflecting the flash. Shoot at an angle rather than head-on.

Cleaning the rollers

Open film door, depress light shield (A), and rotate the rollers. Wipe rollers with a moist clothnever scrape them. Use only water to clean rollers. A
Minimum lens-subject distance
To produce clear pictures, do not place your subject closer than 10.4 inches to the camera.

Image manipulation

Image manipulation is a creative technique using Time-Zero SX-70 film. Artists apply pressure to the images after the pictures eject from the camera. They use a variety of tools, including pen caps, popsicle sticks, clay modeling tools and dental instruments to achieve different results. For more information about image or emulsion transfer and other creative uses for Time-Zero SX-70 film, call Americas Business Center, 1-800-343-5000, or visit www.polaroid.com.

Polaroid SONAR OneStep SX-70 Land Camera
Polaroid introduces sonar focusing-the ultimate in one-step photography
That unexpected moment, that periect smile, will never again be lost whi Ie you pause to set the lens. The instant you see you r picture, just aim and shoot. With sonar focusing, the camera sets the lens instantly, automatically. Now, nothing interieres with seeing the shot and taking it.
(See "How sonar focusing works " inside this foldout.)

How sonar focusing works

As you beg in to press the shutter button, your camera releases sound waves to the central part of the scene (approximate area marked in blue). The frequencies are far beyond our range of hearing and travel at the speed of sou nd (1 ,100 feet per second). The split second it takes for the sound to reach your subject and the echo to return is fed into a tiny electronic computer inside the camera. The computer uses this time measurement to calculate the distance between the camera lens and your subject, then signals a motor to turn the lens until your subject is in sharp focus. This extraordinary chain of events takes place in less than 113 of a second.
. echo returns to camera.

Film and flash

Your camera uses Polaroid SX-70 Land film and FlashBars. Each film pack provides ten color pictures and contains a battery that powers the camera. Each FlashBar has ten bulbs. You'll never waste a flash or film with this camera. It will not let a bulb fire when a film pack is empty and will not take a picture when all the bulbs on one side of the FlashBar have been fired. Your camera also finds the next good bulb in a partly used FlashBar. Please read the important electronic flash statement on page 39.

Place your right thumb on the semicircle. index finger on the shutter button. and curl the other fingers into your palm. It's important to hold the camera as shown. Then. when you squeeze the shutter button, your fingers wi II not press against the bellows or block the picture exit slot in front.
How sonar focusing lets you "preview" the picture
To familiarize yourself with sonar focusing and "previewing," stand a few feet from your subject. Then look through the viewfinder. Notice that the scene appears unsharp. What you now see in the viewfinder is a "preview" of what the finished picture will look like. If it isn't exactly what you want, release the button, change position or camera angle, then lightly press again for another " preview" When you're ready to shoot, hold steady and squeeze the button all the way.
Lightly press the shutter button partway and hold it there. You'll hear a brief whirring sound as the lens brings your subject into sharp view. "Previewing" helps you to plan a (If film is ejected, you pressed too hard and accidentally took a picture.) picture carefully. For qu ick snapshots, however, there's no need to hesitate. Just aim and shoot as described on the opposite page.

To aim and shoot

Bring your eye close to the viewfinder eyepiece so you can see all four corners of the black frame inside. Squeeze the shutter button all the way. Hold the camera steady until the film is ejected. Remove and handle the developing picture by its wide white border.
Use flash for most indoor pictures
Insert a FlashBar into the FlashBar socket. Always do this with the camera pointing away from you. Indoors, you can take flash pictures of subjects 10.4 inches to 20 feet from the camera. You'll get particularly good flash pictures of people when they are 4 to 6 feet away and near a colorful background. Flash pictures should not be taken where the atmosphere contains gases or dust that may be ignited by a spark.
Watch for your camera's "use flash or tripod" indicator
When you're not using flash , a red light may appear in the right side of the viewfinder as you beg in to press the shutter button. It warns that the lighting on the scene is not bright enough for hand-held picture taking. Outdoors, the red light will most likely appear when it is heavily overcast. at dusk or when you're shooting in a shaded area. It will also appear indoors in most room lighting If you see the red light. release the shutter button. Then use flash or place the camera on a tripod for a time exposure.
You can use flash in daylight
This exciting feature, called "fill-flash," can correct lighting situations that might otherwise have produced disappointing results. Although you can use "fill-flash" when your subjects are 4 to 12 feet from the camera, you'll get particularly good results when they are 4 to 6 feet away. Here are the typical ways "fill-flash" can help in daylight: Strong sunlight can create harsh facial shadows. Flash can fill in the shadowed areas with even, flattering light.
Your subject may be forced to squint when facing bright sunlight. To get the natural expression you want , take your subject out of direct sunlight and use "fill-flash."
When the sun is behind your subject (but not shining directly into the lens), your subject usually will be too dark in the picture. "Fill-flash" can provide the added light your subject needs.

Indoor flash hints

Watch the background To assure that it will be well lit by the flash, the background should be colorful and near your subject. When the background is dark, or far behind your subject, or beyond the flash range, it will be too dark in the picture

Arrange groups carefully All the people in a group should be about the same distance from the camera. Then everyone will be lit evenly by the flash.
To avoid a flash reflection When shooting toward a reflective object or background (mirror. window, eyeglasses, etc.). stand to one side of your subject and shoot from an angle to avoid a flash reflection in the picture (see below). However, when the reflective surface is smooth and flat and is the central part of your main subject (glass enclosed art, wall hanging. etc.), shooting at an angle may cause the sound waves to reflect away from the camera. If this happens, the lens will be set incorrectly and your picture may be unsharp. To avoid this, you can set the lens manually (see page 28)

Daylight picture hints

It's easy to take beautiful daylight pictures. Just keep these points in mind : In bright sunlight, stand so the sun is behind you or to the side.
Move in close. You'l l get part icularly good results when your subject is about 4 to 5 feet from the camera. Then important details fill the picture and backgrounds are less distra cting.
Don 'l just wait for a special occasion. Photograph your subjects when they least expect it. Your ca mera is perfect for th is type of shot- just aim and shoot.
Save action pictures for bright. sunl it days Then your camera 's shutter will work at top speed. And for best results, have your subjects move toward you rather than ac ross the picture
Give your subjects something to do. Then they'll feel relaxed, not stiff or posed.
Daylight picture hints continued
You don 't always need direct sunlight to get great results. This portrait was taken on a bright overcast day. Since the light is diffused , shadows are soft, making it a flattering light for close-ups.
Include color. Use props. Ask. your subjects to wear bold , solid colors or pose them near a colorful background.
When shooting scenics, include something in the foreground to serve as a natural frame orto show depth or scale.
Watch the background. It should complement your subjects, not distract from them. Keep it simple.

Close-ups

Your camera is designed to open a new world of beautiful , exciting close-up pictures. You can take them in daylight or with flash and no other camera does it so easi Iy. With no accessories , you can come as close as 10.4 inches. Pictures taken at that distance wi II show your subject at half its actual size. For medium close-ups (pets, children, etc), look through the viewfinder and as you move in close, lightly press the shutler button partway several times to " preview" the picture at various distances. When you see the picture you want, just press the button all the way. To shoot at the closest possible distance , look through the viewfinder and come closer to your subject than 10.4 inches. Lightly press the shutter button partway and hold it there. You 'll hear the camera set the lens for 10.4 inches. Move the camera back and forth unti l your subject is as sharp and clear as possible. When it is, press the button all the way to take the picture. To avoid possible discomfort from the flash , extreme close-ups of people should be made in natural light rather than with flash.

Time exposures

Your camera can make automatic time exposures up to 14 seconds or more. Keep the camera steady by placing it on a firm support-a tripod is best -and use the Polaroid Remote Shutter Button #112. The tripod socket is on the bottom of the camera. To take the picture, press the shutter button for at least a second ; then release it. The camera will do the rest. For best re su lts indoors, stand so bright I ig hts are beh ind you or to the side. Although pictures taken indoors without fla sh may not faithfully reprodu ce the colors of the subject, they often have a charm and beauty all their own.

Tips on outdoor lighting

Outdoors, your camera's electric eye controls the lens opening and shutter speed to let just the right amount of Iight reach the fi 1m. The electric eye works best when the scene is evenly lit. It can be "fooled" by uneven lighting as described below.
Bright backgrounds: Wh ite wall , sw imming poo l, beach or snow scenes, etc.
When a bright background is a large part of the scene and reflects more I ight than your subject. the electric eye sets the camera for the background causing your subject to appear too dark in the picture (top right) You can do one of two things before taking the picture: move closer to your subjec t to reduce the effect of the background (bottom right) turn the Lighten/Darken control toward Lighten (shown below) to lighten your subject.

\)'''i' l

(Sett ing : 1 mark toward Lighten)
Dark backgrounds: Green foliage , dark wall. etc.
When a dark background is a large part of the scene and reflects less light than your subject, the electric eye will again set the camera for the background. Now. your subject may appear too light (top right).
(Setting: 1 mark toward Darken)

To set the lens manually

A few special situations call for setting the lens manually: When shooting straight on through glass, it will block the sound waves from reaching your subject. The lens will focus on the glass and your subject may appear fuzzy. Screens or bars could cause the same result. When shooting at an angle toward a flat, smooth surface (glass enclosed art, wall hanging, etc.), the sound waves may reflect away from the camera causing the lens to be set incorrectly. Before shooting in these situations, lightly squeeze the shutter button partway and hold it there. If your subject appears unsharp in the viewfinder, set the lens manually. To set the lens manually: Press the bottom of the manual focus switch (A) Then use the manual focus wheel (B) as described on the opposite page. The red bar on top of the switch signals that you've disconnected the sonar focusing system. To reactivate it, press the top of the switch or close the camera. The lens will reset itself for sonar focusing.

To use the focus wheel: Look at the most important part of the scene. Roll the focus wheel all the way in one direction, then all the way in the other. Notice that the image changes from fuzzy to sharp and back to fuzzy.
Return the wheel to the point where your subject began to look sharp and clear. Now roll it a bit in each direction until you're sure your subject is as sharp and clear as possible. You can check your ability to focus accurately by comparing the setting on the distance scale around the lens with the actual camera-to-subject distance.

Troubleshooting

Repeated spots: If a repeated spot or bar pattern appears on the picture, the rollers inside the camera need cleaning.
It's best to check the rollers each time you load film.
To clean the rollers: In dim light, open the film door and depress the light shield (A). Rotate the rollers (8). Remove any specks of dirt with a clean, lint-free cloth, moistened with water if necessary. Check the raised ends (C) on the top roller; dirt can collect there too.
Should you need to clean the picture exit slot (0), insert a stiff piece of paper (like the fi 1m cover) in front of the rollers and under the light shield. Push, until it comes out the picture exit slot.
Part of the picture is missing: This happens when you damage the film by squeezing the pack above and below the yellow tab. As you load the camera, remember to hold the fi lm pack by its edges
Part of the picture is fogged: If you press again st the bellows whil e taking a picture, you may block the movement of parts inside the came ra. The next picture you take could be partially or totally wh ite or could have streaky light patterns.

Hold the camera as shown on page 11.
Fuzzy pictures can be caused by. Moving the camera during picture taking. It is important to hold the camera steady until the film is ejected from the camera. 2 Shooting through glass. The glass will block the sound waves from reaching your subject and the lens will focus on the glass. Set the lens manually (see page 28). 3 The sound waves striking a foreground object and noi reaching your subject. As you press the shutter button, the sound waves travel to the central part of the scene (see page 3). Be sure they have a clear path to your subject. 4 Taking a picture in dim light. When the red light appears in the right side of the viewfinder, remember to use flash or take a time exposure (see page 15). 5 Your subject moving during picture taking. You'll get the best action pictures when your subject is moving toward you , rather than across the picture. 6 Shooting at an angle toward a smooth, flat surface. The sound waves have reflected away from the camera. Set the lens manually (see page 28).
If the camera doesn't eject the film cover or film The battery in your film pack may be dead or weak. Try a fresh pack. If the film cover doesn't come out of the second pack, the camera may need repair. See the next page.
If you press the shutter button for a flash picture and nothing happens, all the bulbs on the front side of the FlashBar may have been fired. Change the FlashBar. If the camera doesn 't work when an unused side faces front, turn the FlashBar around or insert a new one. If it works then, one side of the FlashBar was defective. If you have any questions. please call Customer Service (see page 31). If the camera sets the lens but the film does not come out; or if the camera does not reset the lens past infinity (00) when you release the shutter button. close the camera then reopen it. The jam should clear.
If the camera stops during a cycle In rare cases, the camera may stop in the middle of an operating cycle. When this happens, you may not be able to close the camera fully. Never try to force it shut.

There are two reasons why the camera may stop. One is jabbing at the shutter button instead of holding it until the film comes out. The remedy is simple-squeeze the button again and hold it. If the camera still doesn't complete its cycle, open the film door in dim I ight. pull the pack out about an inch, push it in again and close the door. The counter will reset to 10. The camera should complete its cycle. ejecting the top piece of film , which will have been exposed. The other reason is that the battery in the fi 1m pack is weak. Test this by inserting an empty pack if possible. ora new one. If you insert a fresh pack, the film cover may be partly ejected preventing the door from closing. Remove it and close the door. If you can close the door but the cover is ejected part way. open the door and remove the cover by turning the rollers forward. Never try to force the cover through the rollers without first opening the door.
If your camera needs repair If you believe your camera needs repair, before you send it to us please call Customer SeNice (see page 31) and explain the problem. We just may be able to save you the time and trouble of returning it.
Your Polaroid Land camera dealer wi II be happy to return your camera for repair. Or if you prefer, you may bring the camera to a Polaroid SeNice Center, which offers walk-in seNice. Many repairs can be made while you wait. You can also talk to our representatives about any picture problems you may have. Or, you may mail the camera to Polaroid for repairs. Pack it carefully. Address it to the nearest Polaroid SeNice Center (see back cover). Send it by insured parcel post. To make it easier we will , at your request, send a sturdy preaddressed shipping carton to you anywhere in the U.SA When returning your camera, be sure to include a note clearly describing the camera problem and, if you can, sample pictures which illustrate it. Polaroid SeNice Centers try to give the fastest possible seNice and highest quality workmanship. The goal is to repair and ship all comeras within five working days. Depending on distance and mail seNice, you can expect to have your camera back in 10 to 14 days.

Film replacement Return any film pack that has a dead or weak battery to Polaroid or to your dealer, and we will replace it - provided the fi 1m has not passed the expiration date on its box. If you're taking your camera outside the U.S.A. Try to anticipate your needs and take along an adequate supply of SX-70 film and FlashBars. Or, before leaving, check with the nearest Polaroid Customer SeNice office for places of supply in other countries.

Care of your system

The camera
Treat your camera with care. Rough handling may damage delicate parts. Keep the camera closed when not in use. The lens and viewfinder will seldom need cleaning. If they do, blow off any dust, then wipe them gently with a clean, lint-free cloth. From time to time, clean the rollers inside the film door with a similar cloth, moistened with water if necessary (see page 32).
The pictures When your developing picture comes out of the camera, handle it by its wide white border. Don't bend, crush or fold the picture. Don't cut the picture's borders, this can ruin the picture.
The brilliant pictures made with your SX-70 system are among the most stable and resistant to fading ever known in photography. Fingerprints on your pictures can be easily removed. Simply "mist" the surface with your breath, then polish lightly with a tissue or a soft clean cloth.
The film Polaroid SX-70 Land film, like all film, should be kept cool. If possible, store below 75F (24"C). For longer storage, keep below 65F (18"C). In its sealed box, the film can be refrigerated (not frozen). Let it reach room temperature before using it. This will take at least an hour.
To preserve its freshness, keep the film sealed in its protective box until ready for use. Then, take the same care of a loaded camera as you do your film. Keep the camera in a cool place (but not in a refrigerator).

Electronic flash

Your camera was designed to use FlashBars and with a FlashBar it will produce well exposed pictures over the full flash range from about 10 in. to 20 ft. Because of the special electronic circuitry in SONAR OneStep cameras, an electronic flash unit must have matching electronic characteristics in order to give good picture results with this camera. As of August, 1978, such electronic flash units were not available. However, it is expected that units designed to give excellent results with SONAR OneStep cameras (over a shorter flash range) wi II be marketed in the near future. Polaroid Customer Service will have a I ist of electronic flash un its designed to work with SONAR OneStep cameras and you can get this information by calling toll free (see page 31). Electronic flash units other than those listed by Customer Service may not give consistently good results and may cause SONAR OneStep cameras to malfunction. There is a general rule that applies to any electron ic flash unit. If you get poor picture results with it, try a FlashBar. If you get good pictures with a FlashBar, but not with electronic flash , the cause of the problem is the electronic flash, not the camera or the film.
