Polaroid Originals Color Instant Film for i-Type Cameras (8 Exposures)

Modern instant cameras need modern films. This Polaroid Color Instant Film Pack includes 8 instant photographs to bring your moment to life in dreamy Polaroid color and finished in that iconic white frame. This color i-Type film is compatible with the OneStep 2, OneStep+, the Polaroid Now, and the Polaroid Lab. It’s battery-free so it won’t work for vintage cameras, but it will work for your budget.

Store Chilled

The fridge is your film’s best friend. Temperature affects how Polaroid film works. To keep your film in shape for shooting, it is recommend being stored in the fridge (not the freezer) and allowing it to reach room temperature (13-28 degree C / 55-82 degree F) before loading it into your camera.

Care for Your Camera

Clean rollers make for clearer photographs. Each Polaroid camera has a set of rollers inside the film door. If these rollers are dirty, the chemistry can’t spread as easily across the film frame. If they look dirty, give them a gentle wipe with a soft, damp cloth.

Shoot with the Light

Whether you’re using natural sunlight or a studio set-up, always shoot with the light behind you, or to your side. If you face the camera into the light, your photos can end up dark and blown out. It is also recommended to always use the flash to get great results — even if it’s a sunny day.

Develop in the Dark

You need light to get the best photograph, but you need darkness to let it work its magic. When you take a photograph, thousands of chemical reactions take place within that small film frame. To get the best result, let your photograph develop face down in a warm area that’s shielded from light.

Polaroid B&W Film for i-Type Cameras

Got a camera? Need film. Polaroid i-Type cameras have their own film: it's battery-free (unlike the standard film for vintage cameras), so it's easier on the wallet. Compatible with the OneStep + and the Now cameras, plus the Polaroid Lab. There are 8 instant photos in every pack.

Store Chilled

The fridge is your movie's best friend. Temperature affects how Polaroid film works. To keep the film fit for recording, we recommend storing it in the refrigerator (not the freezer) and allowing it to reach room temperature (55.4-82.4 degree F / 55-82 degree F) before loading it into the camera.

Care for Your Camera

Clean rollers make photos clearer. Each Polaroid camera has a set of rollers inside the film door. If these rollers are dirty, the chemistry cannot so easily spread across the film frame. If they look dirty, give them a gentle cleaning with a soft, damp cloth.

Shoot with Light

Whether you're using natural sunlight or a studio setting, always shoot with the light behind you or at your side. If you look at the camera in the light, your photos can end up dark and dull. We also recommend always using the flash for excellent results, even on a sunny day.

Develop in the Dark

You need light to get the best picture, but you need darkness for its magic to work. When taking a photograph, thousands of chemical reactions occur within that small film frame. For best results, let your photo unfold face down in a warm area protected from light.
