Polaroid Originals - 9016 - OneStep 2 ViewFinder Blue

Product Information

As an instant film camera, the OneStep 2 uses a fairly minimalist control scheme, though has a few more options than the 1970s original. The shutter release sits at the front towards the bottom — which feels odd, as most modern cameras put it on the top — which remains true to the original. It also flashes green between shots and will be a solid green when it’s ready to use. The light is orange at partially charged and red when it is out of battery. Multiple exposures: Here is a neat tip I learned from photographer Matt Day. Though the camera doesn’t have a dedicated function, you can easily create multiple exposures by holding the shutter button down after you’ve taken a shot, turning the camera off so it cannot eject the film, releasing the shutter button, and then turning the camera on again. Basically this lets you take additional exposure with the same slide of film. The results aren’t that impressive but it’s fun nonetheless.

Print ejection is motorized, but while the SX-70 cameras simply spat one out and development began immediately, it’s a bit more complicated with the Polaroid Originals film. After taking the shot, a flexible protective cover unfurls from the camera to prevent the exposed print being instantly dosed with available light. You then need to place the print face down (and away from direct light) to await complete development which is now thankfully shorter than the 30+ minutes required by The Impossible Project films, but still longer than we suspect Dr Land would have approved of. Light/Dark Switch: This is basically your exposure compensation switch. If you’d like your image to be brighter and exposed longer, switch it to right where you see the “+” sign. If you’d like it darker, switch it to the “-” sign. Objetivo de alta calidad realizado en policarbonato, con una distancia focal equivalente a 106 milímetros y un ángulo de visión aproximado de 40 gradosCharging can take anywhere between 2 to 4 hours depending on whether you use a wall charger or another device like a computer. 2. Turn the camera on The OneStep 2 is compatible with two types of 600 ISO film. The first is the i-Type film designed specially for i-Type cameras like the OneStep2, and the second is 600 film, which works with both the new i-Type cameras and vintage 600 series cameras. Polaroid Originals recommends using i-Type because it is optimised for use with the OneStep 2.

Most images I took have a desaturated, muddy appearance with a surprising amount of green and yellow cast. Some might call this a “vintage” look but it only really works for certain scenes. Instax photos, by contrast, have stronger contrast, more saturation and a colder hue that is more true to life. Para encender la cámara basta con mover hacia abajo la gran palanca amarilla que se encuentra en la parte trasera de la OneStep 2, situada cerca del puerto micro-USB. Esta conexión nos permite cargar la batería de la cámara, bien conectándola al ordenador (tarda unas 4 horas en completarse) o a un adaptador de corriente (2 horas). Another issue I found was that images featuring lots of open sky sometimes had small white dots – an issue that other reviewers have reported as well. Warning: Shooting without flash will reduce camera performance and picture quality in most lighting situations except brightly-lit, sunny environments. We recommend always shooting with flash.Slide the film door latch to open the film door. Push the film cassette all the way in, with the film’s darkslide facing up. With your left hand supporting the camera and your right index finger on the shutter button, you’ll find your thumb rests against the no-flash button. Pressing and holding that button while taking a picture suppresses the flash, which is otherwise always left on. The flash itself is a new addition to the camera — the 1977 model had the option to add a flash on the top, but didn’t house a built-in flash. Hilary Grigonis/Digital Trends It’s pretty hard not to fall head-over-heals in love with the OneStep 2. Based on the design of the original OneStep, it has all the trappings of a vintage instant camera, along with a few modern perks that improve the user experience.
