Films for the Polaroid TimeZero SX-70 AutoFocus Model 2
The Polaroid TimeZero SX-70 AutoFocus Model 2 is designed for SX-70 films according to the manual. These films were produced by Polaroid. Today, integral films for the film format are being produced again. You can buy them under the “Polaroid Originals” brand.
Currently there is a black and white and a color film that can be used with the camera. The current film is the Polaroid Color Film for SX-70* and the Polaroid B&W Film for SX-70*.
There are eight unexposed frames in one package. These are in a plastic cassette. The battery for the power supply of the SX-70 is also located underneath the frames, so the battery is changed every time the film is changed. Both of the use of older original Polaroid film may cause the battery to be discharged.
When inserting the film into the camera, the dark slide ejects. This piece of plastic protects the film material from light outside the camera. After this procedure you can start taking pictures.
