Why are my Polaroids coming out purple?

Why are my Polaroids coming out blue?

Caused by: These blue marks are actually areas of over-exposure. What has happened here is that the chemical opacification layer (which protects your film from light after ejection from the camera) did not have enough time to mix and spread before the photo was exposed to the ambient light in your environment.

Why are my photos turning purple?

Purple fringing is when you get purple color in high contrast boundary areas in an image that was most likely taken in low light situations with a brighter background. It is most often attributed to a chromatic aberration that occurs commonly with digital cameras, but purple fringing can also be caused by lens flare.

Can you use the SX-70 without destroying film?

SX-70 can be very challenging to operate in a way that doesn’t destroy film. It requires more insight than Instax, Polaroid i-Type, and 600-series products.

How do I adjust the exposure on my SX-70?

SX-70’s exposure is set automatically by the camera with an option to compensate via the wheel located on the opposite side of the red trigger button. This important feature is the most confusing and difficult one to control as it provides no standard measurement reference (i.e. stops of light) and resets every time you fold your camera closed.
