How To Test a Polaroid Land Camera Without Film

[HackTheTouch]

My Polaroid Land 210 doesn't click a second time when I remove my finger from the light sensor, but my shots come out perfectly fine because the shutter still fires. Not sure what to make of that. :P

would this test be similar to check if a fuji fp-1 works?

I have a Polaroid 440 camera & when testing to see if it worked there was 1 click when pushing the red button down and a second click when letting button up and we had the light censer covered the whole time. Help if you could please :) Thank You!

Hello,

I think the electric eye might be broken on mine... I put in a 3v battery, but when I press down the shutter, the second click goes when I release the shutter button no matter the lighting situation. Help?

Does it mean that it's working when it has two clicks ? I tried covering the sensor , however when i remove my finger from the shutter button the second click goes.

Hi. I want to get a Polaroid Land camera. But which one takes regular double AA or AAA batteries? Thanks.

[EverLast04x]

@buggiala Any "rigid" packfilm cameras, (the ones that do not fold) take AA batteries. The quality of those cameras is pretty low and you can only use color film for them.

If you were to get an SX-70 or a 600 camera the film packs have a battery built in.

is it possible to charge the original everready battery?

Hey ! I have a land camera 220, I tried to use your way but everytime I press the button, the camera click twice very fast. Even if I put my finger on the light sensor , it still click twice very fast. But if I hold the button, I can control on when the 2nd click comes. Is it normal or they some repairs must be done ?

@ashraffnajwan Hey, the same thing happens with my camera. Where you able to find an answer?

[brasnildo]

@ashraffnajwan your camera is working, I have a 240 and it have the same thing. You must leave the button pressed. The light meter works just fine, you can test it pointing the camera to a light and pressing the shutter button, and then another one in the dark. If the shutter clicks in different times, it's working fine. Remember you must leave the button pressed.

I have two Auto 100s, one with a AAA conversion and one using a new 531 battery. They both don't do the two clicks like your example. If I cock the shutter, press the button with my finger still covering the light sensor, I get two clicks. If I cock the shutter, press and hold the button, then I get a click and another click when I remove my finger from the light sensor. I've shot a pack of film in each camera and both work fine, as far as I can tell.
