1. Supplementary Operation Instructions

In addition to your Instruction Manual that comes with this camera, this is a

supplementary operation instruction/reference guide for “Night” or “Low Light” instant

photography.

600 NightCam Camera is specially designed to capture the night scene for Street

Photography application. However, other than the added long-exposure feature for

night photography, all the functions remain the same as a normal 636 instant camera.

In normal or daylight photography, the “Time Exposure Control Switch “ should be set

at “0” and please refer to the “Operation Manual” that comes with the camera.

For night photography, please see the below instruction/reference guide.

“Time Exposure Control Switch” illustrated as below.
