Films for the Polaroid Originals OneStep 2 Coral
According to the user manual, the Polaroid Originals OneStep 2 Coral requires instant film. The films can be used for type 600 format and i-Type films, as films have the same sensitivity and size. The difference between the film formats is that the built-in battery in the film pack of the i-Type films is missing. This makes i-Type films usually cheaper. The battery is not needed because the camera draws its power from the built-in battery.
For color images with the OneStep 2 Coral there is Polaroid Color Film for i-Type*. If you want to take black and white pictures you should buy the Polaroid B&W Film for i-Type*. There are eight pictures in one box.
The taken picture is square and has a size of 7.9 by 7.9 cm. The rest is filled by the frame. After pressing the shutter release, the unexposed image from the film cassette is transported out of the cassette by the camera with a motor through two rollers.
During this step, the developing chemistry is distributed over the film, naturally inside the frame, and development begins. After the developing time, the finished picture is in your hand. Shaking does not shorten the developing time.
