The Minolta Pro produces instant images as you shoot.
The Minolta Instant Pro camera is a traditional Polaroid camera. It offers the benefits of Polaroid cameras, such as instant photo production, while avoiding the difficult development process of traditional film cameras. The Minolta Pro camera is extremely similar to another camera, the Spectra Pro, since Polaroid produced both cameras. The Minolta Pro even uses the same film as the Spectra Pro. Due to their similarities, the manuals for the cameras are interchangeable, which can be convenient for the somewhat-unsupported Minolta branded camera.
Instructions
1. Place both hands underneath the camera and pull the release latch, which is located on the side of the body, to open up the camera.
2. Set the camera to fully automatic mode by pushing all of the setting switches upward, except for the exposure switch, which should be set in the middle.
3. Load Polaroid Spectra System color film into the camera by pushing the film door release down. Hold the film pack by its edges and slide it into the camera. As you close the door, the battery in the pack will power the camera.
4. Aim the camera at your subject and press the shutter button halfway.
5. Press the shutter button fully once the green indicator light appears in the viewfinder.
6. Grab the photo as it is ejected from the camera. Handle it gently within the first 60 seconds while it develops.
