All batteries for Polaroid
Without a working battery in the film pack, the camera won’t take a picture and the motor won’t eject the print. [1]
The battery is built into the film pack and powers all of the camera’s functions. [1]
For distant subjects behind glass, it’s best to switch off the autofocus and the flash. [1]
