User manual POLAROID SPECTRA CLOSE-UP LENS

Light Lock Close-Up Lens The Polaroid Light Lock Non-Contacting Close-Up Lens fits all Polaroid Spectra cameras. The lens lets you take photographs at 10 inches (25.4cm) without making contact with the object being photographed. The lens attaches easily and securely to the front of the camera and lets you take pictures that are 50 percent the size of the actual object (1/2 to 1). There are two ways to focus with the lens (a). One is a system of triangulating lights that form a single spot when the camera is at the correct focus distance. Because the single spot is in the center of your picture, you do not need to look through the viewfinder to frame your picture. The other focusing method is a built-in 10-inch measuring cord. Choosing a focus method You can focus accurately in either of two ways. For noncontact focusing, use the triangulating lights. In brightly lit areas where the focusing lights are not clearly visible, use the measuring cord. Using the triangulating lights 1 Press the light-activating button on top of the close-up lens to turn on the focusing lights (d). The button activates the lights for about 15 seconds. 2 Position the camera so the two light beams form a single spot on the subject (e) While positioning the camera, you do not need to look through the viewfinder. The light defines the center of the area being photographed. 3 When the green flash-ready light on the camera is on, press the shutter button to take the picture. d a To attach the lens 1 Open the camera. (Follow camera instructions.) 2 Grasp the lens at the word "Polaroid." Fit the attachment over the camera lens by placing the bottom of the battery compartment onto the top of the camera. As you attach the lens, avoid touching the lenses or lights. 3 Swing the bottom of the attachment in toward the camera lens (b) until it snaps in place. e Using the measuring cord 1 Hold the camera with your left hand. 2 Grasp the rubber knob attached to the measuring cord. 3 Pull the measuring cord all the way out, as far as it will go. Place the rubber knob against the object being photographed (f). Release the cord without moving the camera forward or backward. 4 Frame the picture in the viewfinder and press the shutter button. b Note: Always remove the lens before attempting to close the camera. f To remove the lens Grasp the lens at the word "Polaroid" and gently pull forward, tilting the top of the lens down (c). As you remove the lens, avoid touching the lenses or lights. Tips for best results Some parts of an object more than 2 inches (5cm) deep may not appear in sharp focus. When using the measuring cord, do not move the camera backward or forward. Use a tripod whenever possible. Photograph objects with reflective surfaces at an angle to avoid flash reflection or find suitable lighting (sunlight, for example) and turn the flash off. c Page 1 To install batteries The focusing lights on the close-up lens require two alkaline AA batteries for operation. Replace the batteries when the focusing lights become dim. Note: Use only alkaline batteries. 1 Open the battery compartment door. 2 Install the batteries as shown in the compartment (g). 3 Close the door and snap it into place.
