Opening & closing the camera  
Holding the camera  
Hold camera in your left  
hand with your thumb and  
fingers behind the hinge (A).  
Fingers must not block the  
exit slot and thumb should  
not touch the bellows.  
A
Raise the camera so your eye  
is close to the viewfinder.  
A
Lift straight up until cover  
support (A) locks.  
Hold the camera in the palm of  
your left hand. Grasp the sides  
of the viewfinder cap at the  
rear (ribbed surfaces).  
Taking the picture  
Look through the center of the eyepiece.  
Rest your thumb on the back of the shut-  
ter housing, with your right forefinger on  
the shutter button. Curl the other fingers  
into your palm.  
To close the camera, push  
cover support to the rear. Press  
down on the viewfinder cap  
until both sides latch.  
Bring your eye close to the viewfinder so  
you can see all four corners of the black  
frame inside. Hold the camera steady.  
After focusing, squeeze the shutter button  
all the way down until the picture exits.  
Focusing the camera  
Loading & unloading film  
Your SX-70 camera has a split-image circle in the center  
of the viewfinder image. Aim camera so that the split  
circle is over a vertical line or edge that you want sharp  
in your picture. Turn the focus wheel until the vertical  
line in the top half circle lines up with the line in the  
lower half circle.  
All SX-70 cameras use  
Polaroid Time-Zero SX-70  
film.  
Push the film door latch  
(A) down to open the film  
door.  
The split circle helps you focus, not frame or view. It is placed low  
in the viewfinder so it won’t interfere with viewing. This means you  
may have to reframe your picture after you focus. When you  
reframe, don’t change your distance from the subject. Simply point  
the camera down or to one side until you see in the viewfinder  
exactly what you want in the picture.  
Hold the film pack by its  
edges and push it into the  
camera. With your fingers  
away from the picture exit  
slot, close the film door.  
The motor will run and  
eject the film cover.  
A
T he SX-70 Model 3 is not a single lens  
reflex camera. To focus, estimate the dis-  
tance from the lens to your subject (if closer  
than 3 feet, measure it), then turn the focus  
wheel until the correct distance is opposite  
the white line. Outdoors with subject more  
than 15 feet away, set lens at infinity mark.  
Note that the film counter on the back of the camera sets to ten. It  
counts backwards indicating the number of shots remaining.  
After shooting ten pictures, remove the film pack by opening the  
film door and pulling the pack out by the little tab.
