The Polaroid CoolCam Hysteric Glamour is a camera from Polaroid. It is an instant camera. The range of functions offered by the model is identical to the Polaroid One Step (rounded corners). The body of the camera is in a yellow and black color. In addition, there is a sticker with the words "Hysteric Glamour".
The Polaroid CoolCam Hysteric Glamour impresses with its ease of use. Most of the setting options common to other types of cameras have been omitted. This ease of entry means that the camera can be used by anyone and is suitable for many situations.
If you are planning a wedding or a party, the camera is a good choice for taking pictures. You can also have a lot of fun with it on vacation.
The most important settings are already set. There is no possibility for free adjustment of shutter speed and aperture. The Polaroid camera comes with a fixed lens. The model does not have a zoom function. The minimum distance for focusing is 60 cm. For the clearest possible pictures, this minimum distance must be ensured when using the close-up lens.
The camera comes with a built-in flash. The flash fires automatically. Due to the small aperture, the use of the flash is mainly useful indoors.
Films for the Polaroid CoolCam Hysteric Glamour
Of course, instant film is also needed for the Polaroid CoolCam Hysteric Glamour. The manufacturer of the camera, the American company Polaroid, has stopped production. In the meantime, however, you can find suitable films on store shelves again, both online and offline.
In the stores there is both a black and white and color film. The Polaroid Color Film for 600* is the film for color photos. If you prefer black and white images, we recommend choosing the Polaroid B&W Film for 600*. Both films can give good results in tests.
In one pack you can find eight images. Under no circumstances should the light-sensitive material come into contact with light. The film material should be stored in the dark and dried.
The size of the pictures, 10.8 x 8.8 cm cm, has not changed with the new manufacturer. The captured image takes up an area of 7.7 by 7.7 cm. The remaining area is filled by a white area. Editions with colored frames are also offered.
Batteries
What type of batteries are needed for the Polaroid instant camera? The camera is powered by a battery inside the film cassette. The disposable battery contains the necessary energy for the camera technology with flash. Changing the film is therefore also a replacement of the battery. Another battery is not needed for the camera.
For environmental reasons, the empty film cassette with the battery should not be disposed of in household waste. The battery should be removed from the cassette and taken to a local drop-off location.
