Polaroid Now Gen 3 Purple Set with colour film (8 photos)
The Polaroid Now Gen 3 instant camera allows you to create physical photos immediately after pressing the shutter button. This fully analogue device uses an OVF optical viewfinder and an improved light meter position for more accurate light measurement to capture images. The built-in flash with precise lighting dosage reacts to ambient conditions and adjusts the exposure for sharper images, even in bright light. The body, made from recycled plastics and weighing 448g, features an integrated thread for mounting on a tripod.

Optics
The optical system uses lenses with an acrylic and optical polycarbonate coating. The lens aperture ranges from f.11 to f.64, with the system utilising six available apertures. The field of view is 40° horizontally and 41° vertically. The OVF-type optical viewfinder is used for precise aiming at the subject and composing the scene before pressing the shutter button.
Dual-Zone Focusing
The autofocus system works with two fixed zones and uses an integrated proximity sensor. The first zone covers a distance from 0.40m to 1.3m, and the second zone focuses from 1m to infinity. A precise stepper motor controls the shutter system with a slow speed of 1s. The minimum focusing distance is exactly 40cm. This dual-lens autofocus enhances the overall clarity of the captured images.
Exposure
The camera offers self-timer and double exposure modes for creating overlapping images. The built-in flash uses a vacuum discharge tube to accurately illuminate dark scenes while maintaining natural skin tones. An integrated selfie mirror makes it easy to take self-portraits without needing assistance. The shutter works with automatic aperture adjustment and reacts to the current ambient light conditions.
Power and Battery Life
The built-in Li-Ion battery provides enough power for operation without frequent charging. The battery capacity is sufficient to expose up to 15 packs of film on a single full charge. The USB-C interface is used to charge the internal cell via a cable. The compatible film cartridges themselves do not contain a battery, saving on the overall weight of the consumables.
Construction
The outer shell is a solid combination of ABS and polycarbonate materials in a purple colour finish. The manufacturer used 40% recycled plastics to protect the environment and reduce the ecological footprint. The thread on the bottom of the camera body is for mounting on a standard tripod for stable shots. The total weight of this analogue device is exactly 448g.
Compatible Films
The camera develops classic square photos with the typical white frame, measuring 107 × 88mm in total. The design of the internal chamber fully supports Polaroid i-Type and Polaroid 600 films. The chemical process of developing the image takes approximately ten to fifteen minutes after exposure. The sensitivity of the photographic material used corresponds to ASA 640, and one pack contains a total of 8 photos.
