Polaroid 35 manual Preparing to make a print, Orient your slide on the slide carrier

Note: As you set the filters to make color adjustments, the Daylab 35 does not show the effects of the adjustments as you preview the image projected on the dark slideviewing panel. Make test exposures to gauge what effects you want to achieve with color filtration.

Note: Adding filtration extends exposure time. Use the exposure-adjustment dial to compensate for these changes. Also note that extending the exposure times can result in further color shift.

Note: Use no more than two filters at any one time.

Note: You can also use the filters to add or subtract tonal values to your black-and-white prints.

Preparing to make a print

Select a slide: The Daylab 35 Iets you add creative effects to your slides, but it cannot improve the photographic quality of your original image. Choose a clean, dust-free 35mm slide that is in sharp focus, has an even exposure (neither too light not too dark and accurately renders the colors of your subject.

Orient your slide on the slide carrier:

Holding the slide carrier with its long

edge facing you (the guides that hold the slide in place face upward), lay your slide emulsion-side-up /dull-side-up) on the carrier so that it fits within the guides. Be sure to orient the slide on the carrier so the image is upside down and appears as a mirror image on the dark slide/viewing panel.

Compose your picture: With the slide correctly oriented, insert the slide carrier into the slide carrier slot (9) Set the

VIEW-OFF-PPINT switch at VIEW; the viewing

light inside the Daylab 35 should now be on. Open the image-preview door to view your image projected onto the dark slideviewing panel (10).

You can move the slide carrier from side to side to center the image on the dark slideviewing panel. Notice, however,that you cannot print the full format of your slide. You lose approximately 1/16 in. from the horizontal dimension of the image.

Also, note that the Daylab 35 has nonadjustable, fixed focusing.

Warning: Never leave your slide under the VIEW Iamp longer than necessary. Heat from the lamp can damage your slide. The Daylab 35 has a built-in switch that automatically shuts offthe 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 VIEW. Caution: After centering your image on the dark slideviewing panel, be sure to close the image-preview door. Leaving the door open while you expose the film fogs the print.
