Usage skills area

The normal shooting distance of the Mini 25 camera is 0.5m-∞. If you need to shoot a scene within 0.5m, you must add the original one in the packaging box in front of the lens. It is only a "close-up lens", and the closest shooting distance to the scene behind this lens is 0.35m.

Or flash, you can also set the forced flash. Mini50S uses a slow shutter speed to synchronize the flash in dark environments or illuminated night scenes, making the background brighter and more beautiful. The effective range of the flash is 0.6m-3m. Real-life polaroid shooting tutorial - mini25 & mini50. It must be reminded that the mini25 and mini50 cameras cannot touch the "start switch top button" on the side of the back cover when opening the back cover after taking the film to take out the empty box. Once it breaks, the camera will not be able to be turned on. Works normally.

How to solve the "parallax" problem:

Real-life Polaroid shooting tutorial - mini25&mini50 Taking mini25 as an example, in fact, every Polaroid has the problem of framing deviation, not because There was something wrong with the machine, but it was because the positions of the viewfinder and the shooting lens were not on the same central axis, about 45 degrees apart. (The yellow dotted line is the central axis where the viewfinder is located, and the blue dotted line is the central axis where the shooting lens is located)

Practical shooting tutorial of Polaroid - mini25&mini50 Everyone generally frames the view as shown in the thick solid line. The item is placed in the middle. However, the problem of different central axes will cause a certain position deviation between the image in the viewfinder and the image in the actual shooting lens, so the actual image will be like the one in the right frame, which is crooked.

Real-life Polaroid shooting tutorial - mini25&mini50 In fact, we should take pictures when the image is like this in the viewfinder~ You understand~ Just put the actual object in the lower left corner of the viewfinder. !But there is one more important thing to say! Imaging position deviation generally only occurs in close-range shooting, that is, within a distance of about 60cm! So when shooting beyond 60cm, don’t move the viewfinder too far!!! However You still have to practice more to find the rules!~

Mode adjustment:

Mini25 and 50s modes

L/D light and dark mode: Generally, blank auto is selected, as is the flash. When the background light is insufficient, 25 will automatically flash to fill in the light. Sometimes it is not very obedient - in terms of light and dark, if it is too bright on a sunny day, select D to reduce the brightness, otherwise select L.

1. Natural light (sunny day) facing the sun: "D" → (real), automatic → (whiter), backlight: automatic

2. Indoor natural light: 2.5 meters to 3 meters When shooting → "L" (otherwise it will be dark)

3. When shooting blue sky: clouds → D (strong effect), no clouds → Auto (vignetting effect)

(I Personally practiced photo mode combinations):

N-speed forced flash for night selfies,

L-speed automatic flash for group photos at night;

N-speed indoor selfies during the day Forced flash,

N-speed automatic flash for indoor group photos during the day;

N-speed automatic flash for selfies under the sun during the day

D-speed forced flash for group photos under the daylight Flash;

Shooting D-mode forced flash with the sun behind your back during the day

Backlight, background is gauze curtain. After taking the photo, I realized that white objects are so unphotogenic. If you want to take photos of light-colored things, you must use a dark background to set them off. In short, there must be depth and lightness in the framing, and if the overall thing is relatively light, then you must adjust it. D setting, otherwise the photo will be overexposed.
