Polaroid Amigo 610

The Polaroid Amigo 610 is an instant camera. It is identical to the Polaroid OneStep 600 in terms of functionality, but the difference is that it is not black, but beige.

Its successor, the Amigo 620, comes with a close-up lens.

Like the Polaroid OneStep 600, the Amigo 610 requires Type 600 instant film. These are being recovered by The Impossible Project. They will be sold again under the original brand. Suitable for the Amigo 610 are for example the Polaroid Color Film for 600* and the Polaroid B&W Film for 600*.

Batteries

Are batteries necessary for the Polaroid camera? The cassette contains not only unexposed film material, but also a battery that powers the camera with flash. Since changing the film also means changing the battery, no additional battery purchase is necessary. However, it is possible that the battery in the film cassette will discharge on its own if the camera has been stored for a long period of time, e.g. in the basement. Without sufficient power, of course, the camera will not function. In this case, simply remove the photo film and replace it with new film stock with a fresh battery.
