Polaroid Originals Classic Color Instant Film for 600 Cameras (8 Exposures)

Color 600 film is the original format instant film for vintage Polaroid 600 cameras (though it works with i-Type cameras too). It captures your photos in a rich spectrum of color, texture and tone, and frames them in that iconic white border which makes every Polaroid a cultural icon. Every photo it creates is unique; unpredictable, imperfect, and impossible to reproduce. And as for what goes in the picture? We leave that part up to you.

Point, Shoot, and Share

Just like the camera it goes with, 600 instant film is straightforward and easy to use. It comes in classic color and B&W versions, as well as a range of special editions, so there's always a new way to put your life on film.

Store Chilled, Shoot Warm

Temperature affects how the film works. Keep it stored cold in the fridge, but never freeze it. Ideally you should let it adjust to room temperature before you use it. That’s around 55 to 82 degree Fahrenheit (13 to 28 degree Celsius). When it’s cold out, keep your photos warm in a pocket close to your body while they develop. Or if it’s a hot day, make sure they stay cool.

Shoot with the Light

The more light in your shot, the better your photo will turn out. Instant film loves light, especially natural light. Use the flash for all your indoor photos. For best results Polaroid also recommends using the flash for outdoor shots, unless it’s a bright sunny day.

Develop in the Dark

All photos appear blank at first. They’re most sensitive during this time, so don’t bend or shake them. Shield them from the light, and place them face down as they develop. Keep B&W photos shielded from light for about 1 minute, and color film for about 6 minutes.

Care for Your Camera

Your camera has a set of rollers inside the film door. Each photo passes through these rollers as it’s made, so it’s important to make sure that they stay clean. If the rollers get visibly dirty then gently wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth.
