Super useful tutorial! Very excited to get this camera

[@valeriaplatova5447]

Love this camera!!! Finally I got it,❤️

[@mkchomponthis]

Is it possible to be used with a self timer to get a group shot ?

[@Lolokittyyy]

What does it mean if it’s constantly flashing blue? I’m trying to reload new film & pressing buttons but it still won’t function, help please? 😥

[@maunochromatic]

thanks !!
plan on getting one of these so nice to know how to use it.

when you attach the close-up lens, can you still use the focusing ring? or do you need to set to the closest distance in order for it to focus on 10cm?

[@theaccentman93]

I am pretty sure you have to set it to the closest distance. I can check, mine is arriving in a few days! Super excited

HI MY NAME IS JAJAHOI!!! Would love to know it as I have tried to take some closeups but only got blurry pictures. Probably needs some more practice

[@theaccentman93]

I think it should be in the manual, right?

[@JessieLeTV]

Does it have a self timer?

I have a question about this camera and the film.
I bought this camera May 2021 and have only used it a couple times because the film ( the first black sheet/ protective film) won’t eject. I have to open the back and remove it. It’s hard and very stuck in there, I’m afraid to break the back door or the camera. Is this a common issues with this camera and the film getting stuck?!

Hello,
My camera doesn’t eject any film when I click to take the photo. How can I fix this?
Thank you

[@apple9717]

I don't know if this is a silly question but can you link/hook up your phone to a lomo instant camera? If so how?

[@neunzehn84]

Hey, is there any way to avoid the "halo" (guess it's light reflections from the inside of the lens) on the photos? I got them on almost any photo I took so far and I noticed it on some Instant Wide photos in the galleries. I mean, I really like this noisy, blurry photos with crazy colors but these halos are really annoying :(

[@lomographicsociety]

Hello! :)
Perhaps avoiding strong light sources from hitting the lens at an angle could help... and maybe a lens hood? If you have more trouble with it, please contact our customer services: [e-mail]
Thank you!!

What would happen if someone were to power off the camera while in between exposures using the multiple exposure setting? Would the film be ejected or remain in the chamber?
I noticed in the manual it says the camera will auto-power off after 5 minutes of inactivity - that has me wondering.
Would that mean long exposures would be subject to a 5 minute window as well?

[@lomographicsociety]

Hello! :)
The camera automatically restarts if you turn it off and on during MX mode. There is a light that lights up when you switch to MX, anyway-you see that in this case, it's not on, and the longest exposure is only 30 seconds. Hope this was helpful :)

Greetings! Every single photograph I take in direct sunlight comes out entirely washed out, with no details at all. Just white. I have my exposure compensation set to (-1). Is my camera faulty? I am starting to believe I cannot possibly take a picture outside with it.

[@trinoromo6619]

Try experimenting with camera in 1/30th of a second mode with a +1

[@memry1571]

We saw picture ejected, but never saw how long takes image to appear. Seems like left out important step.

[@lomographicsociety]

Hello :) for the image to appear it takes around two minutes!

Someone skipped their snare drum lessons

[@1983toInfinity]

Feeling bummed, tried my first shots and nothing has come out of the dispenser..

[@lomographicsociety]

Hello Andrew Keeler!
Sorry to hear about that. The best thing you could do is explaining the problem and sending a video of what is happening with your camera to our customer service department: [e-mail]

[@1983toInfinity]

@@lomographicsociety thank you, I've done so and appreciate the help.

[@MM-zp8iy]
