The Polaroid P-Cam Kenneth Cole Reaction is an instant camera from Polaroid. The range of functions offered by the model corresponds to the Polaroid P. It was created in collaboration with Kenneth Cole. Kenneth Cole is an American fashion designer. Kenneth Cole Reaction is one of the collections.
The imprint Kenneth Cole Reaction can be found twice on the body of the camera. The body of the camera is made of plastic and in dark blue and silver.
The Polaroid P-Cam Kenneth Cole Reaction is characterized by its user-friendliness. Many setting options that are common with other camera types have been eliminated. The ease of use results in a low barrier to entry and thus a wide range of possibilities for areas of application. For example, it is a good choice for parties and weddings. However, it can also be a lot of fun on vacation.
The most important settings are already set. The shutter speed and aperture value cannot be freely selected. The lens is fixed and not interchangeable. This model cannot offer a zoom, which is common for smartphones. To get sharp pictures, a minimum distance of 60 cm to the subject should be kept.
Of course, you will also find a built-in flash in the instant camera. The flash is triggered automatically. It is also necessary, especially for indoor shooting, because the camera needs a lot of light for good pictures.
Films for the Polaroid P-Cam Kenneth Cole Reaction
Of course, instant film is also needed for the photo camera. The original camera manufacturer no longer produces film stock. But there is a new edition under the same name from a new company.
Material is available for color photos and monochrome images. Instant color photos are possible with the Polaroid Color Film for 600*. Black and white photography is possible with the Polaroid B&W Film for 600*. How do the films perform in tests? Both films are convincing in many test situations.
In one box, you'll find eight photos. Under no circumstances should the light-sensitive material come into contact with light. Optimal storage conditions for the unexposed film material are found in a cool and dry place.
As defined during development, an image measures 10.8 x 8.8 cm. In this case, the captured image occupies an area of 7.7 by 7.7 cm. The remaining area of the image is white. Also available are editions of Polaroid films with colorful frames.
The Polaroid P-Cam Kenneth Cole Reaction cannot use Fujifilm instant film.
Batteries
Do you need batteries for the Polaroid camera? The power source of the camera is a battery located in the film cassette. The disposable battery supplies power to the camera with flash. Therefore, changing the film is also changing the battery. A second or additional battery is not necessary for the instant camera.
If the camera with film has been stored for a long time, the battery may have discharged. As a result, the camera will no longer function. In this case, simply remove the photo film and replace it with new film material with a fresh battery.
