New Article Alert: How to Troubleshoot Broken Cameras

March 29, 2016 By Dan Finnen

This is what happened when one of my oldest Polaroid cameras died right in the middle of pushing a picture out.

This is what happened when one of my oldest Polaroid cameras died right in the middle of pushing a picture out.

I get questions on a regular basis from people who are struggling with misbehaving cameras, and there’s nothing worse than losing expensive film to a problem you’re not even sure exists. To help, I’ve put together a guide to how troubleshooting and identifying broken cameras.

Because Polaroid cameras tend to be ‘all or nothing’ in whether they work or not, this guide focuses primarily on identifying if it is the film or the camera itself at fault. Since there are about a billion things that can go wrong with the film itself, I’m going to be releasing a separate article on that subject at a later date.

Check out the full article for all the details!
