Polaroid Light Lock Instruction

Light Lock Close-Up Lens
The Polaroid Light Lock Non-Contacting Close-Up Lens fits all Polaroid Spectra cameras. The lens lets you take photographs at 10 inches (25.4cm) without making contact with the object being photographed.
The lens attaches easily and securely to the front of the camera and lets you take pictures that are 50 percent the size of the actual object (1/2 to 1).
There are two ways to focus with the lens (a). One is a system of triangulating lights that form a single spot when the camera is at the correct focus distance. Because the single spot is in the center of your picture, you do not need to look through the viewfinder to frame your picture. The other focusing method is a built-in 10-inch measuring cord.
To attach the lens
1 Open the camera. (Follow camera instructions.)
2 Grasp the lens at the word "Polaroid." Fit the attachment
over the camera lens by placing the bottom of the battery compartment onto the top of the camera.
As you attach
the lens, avoid touching the lenses or lights.
3 Swing the
bottom of the attachment in toward the camera lens (b) until it snaps in place.
Note: Always remove the lens before attempting to close
the camera.
To remove the lens
Grasp the lens at the word "Polaroid" and gently pull forward, tilting the top of the lens down (c).
As you remove the lens, avoid touching the lenses or lights.
Choosing a focus method
You can focus accurately in either of two ways. For non­contact focusing, use the triangulating lights. In brightly lit areas where the focusing lights are not clearly visible, use the measuring cord.
Using the triangulating lights
1 Press the light-activating
button on top of the close-up lens to turn on the focusing lights (d). The button activates the lights for about 15 seconds.
2 Position the camera so the
two light beams form a single spot on the subject (e)
While positioning the camera,
you do not need to look through the viewfinder. The
a
light defines the center of the area being photographed.
3 When the green flash-ready
light on the camera is on, press the shutter button to take the picture.
Using the measuring cord
1 Hold the camera with your left hand.
2 Grasp the rubber knob
attached to the measuring cord.
3 Pull the measuring cord all the
way out, as far as it will go. Place the rubber knob against the object being photographed (f). Release the cord without moving the camera forward or backward.
4 Frame the picture in the view-
finder and press the shutter button.
Tips for best results
Some parts of an object more than 2 inches (5cm) deep may not appear in sharp focus.
When using the measuring cord, do not move the camera backward or forward. Use a tripod whenever possible.
Photograph objects with reflective surfaces at an angle to avoid flash reflection or find suitable lighting (sunlight, for
c
example) and turn the flash off.

To install batteries
The focusing lights on the close-up lens require two alkaline AA batteries for operation. Replace the batteries when the focusing lights become dim.
Note: Use only alkaline batteries.
1 Open the battery compartment
door.
2 Install the batteries as shown
in the compartment (g).
3 Close the door and snap it into
place.
Care and handling
When not using the close-up lens, keep it clean and protected.
Avoid touching any of the lenses. If you need to remove dust or fingerprints from the lenses, breathe on them and wipe gently with a soft, clean facial tissue. Do not use
silicone treated eyeglass tissues.
