How do I use the self-timer feature on the Polaroid Go camera?

The self-timer feature allows you to get into photos yourself with family and friends.

To use the self-timer feature, follow these simple steps:

Press and hold the flash button for 2 seconds
Press the shutter button, making sure to do so from behind the camera
Run and join the gang in front of the camera. After you press the shutter button, you'll have 9 seconds before the photo is taken.

If you change your mind, you can cancel the self-timer by holding it down again for 2 seconds.

Note: If you want to shoot without flash, make sure to turn off the flash by pressing the flash button once quickly before beginning the steps outlined above.

How do I make Double Exposures on the Polaroid Go camera?

To make a double exposure, follow these simple steps:

Press the flash button twice rapidly
On the display that normally shows you how many photos you have left, you will see a blinking '1'. You can now take your first exposure by pressing the red shutter button
The display will then blink ‘2’. Press the red shutter button to take your second exposure

Some more helpful tips for getting the best double exposures:

Take a portrait lit from behind (without flash) for your first photo, and then for the second photo try a repetitive pattern or texture, which will allow your double exposure to stand out
Try to keep in mind which areas of your first photo are brightest and which are darkest. When composing your second photo, try to compose with the subject in the darkest areas of the first photo.

Note: If you'd like to take a photo without flash, make sure to press the flash button to turn off the flash before each photo.
