  1. But when you hold the button halfway on the Now Gen3, the flash goes off! How can you focus it without the flash going off before the picture is taken? This is so frustrating!

  2. I’m using a Polaroid Now+ Gen 3 Camera. There has been pressure fractals (snowflakes) on top left corners of most of the films, does anyone know how to resolve this issue? Thank you!!

  3. Boink! I am confused. What is the actual "+" I know it has something to do with the application and I thought it made a digital copy of them in the app. I could easily scan photos like I've been doing now with my new Flip but the whole reason I upgraded was cuz I wanted those digital copies and it's no different than it was before. I may return the camera if that's all it can do but I would love if someone could help me understand more or point me the right direction so that I don't have to return it as I really do like it

    Thank you!

  4. Okay you could have went into a little more detail about using flash outside. Evening in bright Sun with Polaroid and any other film camera the built-in flash I sometimes use the flash outside to fill in Shadows particularly if my subject is wearing a hat and the hat is creating some shade on their face. The Flash just helps brighten that up.

  5. My tiny Fujiflim Instax camera (5-6 years old) has a lot better photo quality thank the 3+. Very disappointed… probably gonna send it back. It’s 2025… you have to put the film in the fridge???
