We need a niche content creator like this for reading manuals, back of shampoo, how to cook noodles, legal notices, warranty etc. for use to be able sleeeeeeeeeeep deeply at night. 🌑
First class video for all new sx70 users and also more experience users too. It seems that today’s tech/camera (and all other consumer products) users have lost the art of reading the manual first if my experience of reading posts on Reddit/instagram/facebook etc. Polaroid have a very good support section on their web too covering camera/film issues.
Wanted to mention I’ve found and just bought two NOS Button Polaroids. And have everything I need on the way to do your battery conversion and make it use I type film. I got two cameras in case I brick one. Anyways we communicated a little about buying one of yours but just thought it would be more fun and I would appreciate the camera more if I do it myself. If successful with the first one I’m definitely sending you some cash for the video tutorial you provided. If not I’m sending you the second camera 😂
@@LitchiBorrower it'll only work for the SLR models due to how the shutter mechanism works afaik Box type long exposures are technically possible but they require a bit of hacking
