In order to hopefully make your troubleshooting process easier, here are a few pointers and the step-by-step process I use to figure out what’s wrong. I’ve spent many, many hours trying to figure out why a camera isn’t spitting out an image, firing off countless ruined shots in the process. Unfortunately, shooting with vintage Polaroid cameras means working with gear that is decades old, and any piece of technology with that many years on it is going to be prone to causing trouble. How do you make sure the camera is functional? Is it the film causing trouble, or the camera itself? How the heck do you even test it? Also, because Polaroid cameras don’t have batteries, many people don’t know if the camera they just found works or not. Troubleshooting vintage Polaroid cameras is often a rather expensive proposition, and it can be especially frustrating when a camera has mysteriously died right in the middle of shoot. I haven’t used them myself, but they seem like a great company. Update September 2021: Got a broken camera that can’t be fixed by the tips below? Check out Retrospekt’s repair services. This is what happened when one of my oldest Polaroid cameras died right in the middle of pushing a picture out.
