Polaroid 35 manual VIEW-OFF-PRINT switch

4.

The VIEW-OFF-PRINT switch:

VIEW: Select VIEW to compose an image on the dark slide/viewing panel. This setting turns on the lamp that projects your slide image onto the dark slide/viewing panel.

Warning: Never leave your slide under the VIEW lamp longer than necessary. Heat from the lamp can damage your slide. The Daylab 35 has a built-in switch that automatically shuts off the VIEW lamp after approximately 4 minutes. This prevents the lamp from overheating and damaging your slide. To turn the VIEW lamp on again, set the VIEW-OFF-PRINT switch at OFF: then move it back to VlEW.

OFF: After you compose your image, return the switch to OFF until you are ready to make a print. Doing so helps extend the life of the VIEW lamp. When you finish using the Daylab Jr., always return the switch to OFF.

PRINT: Select PRINT when you are ready to make the exposure. When you select PRINT, the ready-indicator light to the right of the START button should be off. You must wait approximately 15 seconds until it glows green before you can press the START button. Note that the built-in flash that exposes the film is not activated until you press the START button. The lamp shuts off automatically following the exposure.

The exposure adjustment dial: The exposure adjustment dial lets you adjust the exposure of your prints. The Daylab

35has an exposure-correction range with seven settings. Use the "0" setting at the midpoint of the range if you have a properly exposed slide, where no

exposure correction is needed. Turning the dial from "0" clockwise in the "+"

direction lets you increase the exposure to lighten your printed image. Turning the dial from "0" counterclock-wise in the "-" direction lets you reduce the exposure to darken your printed image. For more information see Possible problems,

causes.

The START button: The START button fires the built-in flash that exposes the film. If you press START and the green ready indicator is not on, the flash does not fire (the ready indicator turns on 15 seconds after you select PRINT with the ViEW-OFF-PRINT switch).

Caution: To prevent accidental film exposure, follow the sequence of steps carefully in Exposing the film.
