The Polaroid The Button is an instant camera. It is another iteration of the Polaroid OneStep, and the two are identical in terms of functionality. However, the design of the plastic camera is different. It comes in two different shades of gray, and the front is adorned with the imprint “The Button”.
Like the Polaroid Onestep, “The Button” has a fixed lens, automatic exposure, an electronic shutter and a connection for a flash.
The film used is SX-70 instant film. The Impossible Project / Polaroid Originals still produces some for this format, or the Polaroid The Button. For color film, you could use the Polaroid Color Film for SX-70*, for example, and for black and white you could use the Polaroid B&W Film for SX-70*.
