Battery compartment where do i find the battery compartment for my polaroid 600CL instant camera

I don't know of any Polaroid instant camera with that model number. Most all Polaroids that used pack film were powered by a battery that was incorporated in each film pack.

Are you sure you did put in the battery correct and not the wrong way around? could be a mechanical block, to avoid damage to the camera, by wrongly placed battery.

The battery is built into the film. Film is no longer available. Old stocks sometimes are sold, but the batteries are long dead and the photo chemicals are usually unusable.

Polaroid OneStep cameras have the battery built-in to the film back. If you are using Polaroid 600 film, simply change the film cartridge.

Polaroid film has long been discontinued and as of this week every remaining unused pack has passed its expiry date. You will not find any retailers in Sutton-in-Ashfield or anywhere near which sells it any more. There is a company which has just bought the machinery and rights to re-manufacture the film, but if production goes ahead it will not recommence until 2011 at the earliest and it will be an expensive specialist product.

You can still find it on auction websites and also at camera jumbles, but be careful. Old film can have unpredictable colours and contrast, and the camera rollers often fail to squeeze the developing emulsion across the entire photo. To prevent this some retailers will claim to have kept the film refrigerated. Unfortunately Polaroid film has the camera battery built in to it and refrigeration considerably reduces the battery life. This is not a problem if you modify your camera to take an external battery but without the modification your film pack may be useless.

The last few "fresh" 600 film packs I saw were going for around £30 per pack and each pack only gives ten photos.

The battery is part of the filmpack. In other words, there is no battery compartment.

The battery is in the film pack.try to replace it from there

there is no battery in the camera. the battery comes from the film. the film has a battery in it already. you MUST have film in the camera for the light to go on and the flash to go off. all polaroid camera's are the same. you must have the film in the camera for it to work.

The battery is included in the film pack. If you open the film door you will see the battery contacts in the lower side of the compartment. These line up with the battery holes (looks like foil in the holes) in the film pack. If you have an old film pack and no power the battery in the old pack may be dead.

HI: I once owned a polaroid similar to your unit. the film comes with batteries to power the camera. Once the film is loaded the camera should be active. Good [email protected]
