Cámara instantánea inspirada en la Polaroid OneStep de 1977. Disponible en blanco y en grafito. Esta versión Viewfinder (VF) mejora la OneStep 2 lanzada inicialmente por Polaroid Originals con el contundente saliente del ocular, diseñado para poder usar más cómodamente el visor directo Hallo. Ich bin 20 Jahre alt und komme daher nicht wirklich aus der Zeit, wo Polaroid Kameras modern waren, aber ich fand die Technik dieser Kameras schon immer faszinierend. Ich besaß zuvor nur 2 Polaroid Bilder aus dem Krankenhaus (nach meiner Geburt) und fand den Charm dieser Bilder einfach super. Multiple exposures: Here is a neat tip I learned from photographer Matt Day. Though the camera doesn’t have a dedicated function, you can easily create multiple exposures by holding the shutter button down after you’ve taken a shot, turning the camera off so it cannot eject the film, releasing the shutter button, and then turning the camera on again. Basically this lets you take additional exposure with the same slide of film. The results aren’t that impressive but it’s fun nonetheless. Charging can take anywhere between 2 to 4 hours depending on whether you use a wall charger or another device like a computer. 2. Turn the camera on

Keep your photos in a cool, dry place such a shoe box for 30 days after exposure. You can store the photos in an album or sleeve once the 30-day window has passed. Cuenta con un potente flash integrado para facilitar la captura de instantáneas. Un botón nos permite cancelar el flash cuando queramos, incluso usando el modo de disparo con temporizador Press the shutter button all the way in to take the photo. The photo will be ejected from the slot at the front of the camera as soon as you let go of the shutter button. It will be shielded from the light by the film shield, and will be held in place until you are ready to remove it.Store your unopened film inside a fridge between 4 and 18°C. Let it warm up to room temperature for about an hour before shooting it. This comes down to your preference for subjects and lighting situations, but you’ll only need the flash for subjects at close distances when you’re inside or in the shade. I primary shoot in bright sun or landscapes, rarely needing flash. It’s pretty hard not to fall head-over-heals in love with the OneStep 2. Based on the design of the original OneStep, it has all the trappings of a vintage instant camera, along with a few modern perks that improve the user experience. Battery/Charging: It has a lithium-ion battery and charges by USB, which is awesome. So when you’re on your way to a shoot and realize you forgot to charge your camera, you can just plug it in in the car.

With your left hand supporting the camera and your right index finger on the shutter button, you’ll find your thumb rests against the no-flash button. Pressing and holding that button while taking a picture suppresses the flash, which is otherwise always left on. The flash itself is a new addition to the camera — the 1977 model had the option to add a flash on the top, but didn’t house a built-in flash. Hilary Grigonis/Digital TrendsIch habe mir vorher das Polaroid Modell von Fuji (wenn die so hießen) angesehen, fand die Bildgröße jedoch ziemlich enttäuschend, da diese im Vergleich zu den Polaroid Originals Bildern hier nur halb so groß waren. Daher war dies kein Fall für mich. Considering you can still buy a decades old film camera and use it, the Polaroid OneStep 2 likely has a long lifespan. It’s a plastic camera that isn’t sealed against the elements, but we expect it will last for years to come if taken care of. Should you buy it? Light/Dark Switch: This is basically your exposure compensation switch. If you’d like your image to be brighter and exposed longer, switch it to right where you see the “+” sign. If you’d like it darker, switch it to the “-” sign.

Keep in mind, because this is a battery-free film, it will not work in 600 cameras. That film has its own battery in the film, while the new i-Type OneStep 2 boasts a rechargeable battery of its own. Polaroid Originals does state that their film works best between 13 – 28°C and that at lower temperatures, they tend to emerge over-exposed with less colour contrast and a green tint. Knowing this, I made a point to store the photos close to my body when shooting in colder temperatures but it didn’t really make a difference. Unfortunately, the flare isn’t an artsy, rainbow-style effect, but a white blob at the edge of the photo. I’ve been using the Polaroid OneStep 2 for a few months now and I admit that I am a little behind schedule with this review. (Too much desk work and very little actual shooting being the problem!) It’s here now though, so let’s dive right in! Another issue I found was that images featuring lots of open sky sometimes had small white dots – an issue that other reviewers have reported as well.

How to Use the Polaroid OneStep 2

The only feature on the base of the camera is a tripod mount. It is useful if you frequently plan to use the self timer or want to eliminate camera shake.

Flash: The flash will always fire automatically but if you decide you don’t want the flash, you can always suppress it by holding down the ‘flash off’ button on the rear as you take the shot. Avoid suppressing the flash indoors or in dark places as your image will likely end up too dark.Once you feel comfortable with the basic controls, you can take some time to experiment with the camera. To avoid a blurry photo, make sure you are at least 60cm (2 feet) away from your subject when you take the picture. For the best results, always try to shoot with your light source behind you. The lens – made from optical-grade polycarbonate and coated to reduce flare – has a focal length of 106mm (roughly equivalent to 40mm) and again the focus is fixed, this time from around 60 centimetres to infinity. Stamped right on the bottom of the camera is the suggestion to keep at least 2 feet away from your subject. The fixed-focus lens is rated for 2 feet to infinity; get too close, and the images will be soft. Indoors, the flash is also far too bright for objects that close. Other suggestions etched on the camera recommend shooting with the sun behind you and always leaving the flash on unless shooting in an ultra bright scene. Hilary Grigonis/Digital Trends The OneStep 2 uses a traditional view finder located on the right side of the lens barrel. The viewfinder is most accurate when you align your right eye with the space behind the viewfinder, resting your cheek on the slope of the camera body.
