When the shutter button is pressed, the
shutter opens to allow light to enter the
camera through the lens.
2
Light is focused through the lens onto
the mirror at the back of the camera.
3
The light bounces off the mirror and down
onto the film. The film contains layers of
light-sensitive chemistry. As light hits
these layers, the image is exposed.
4
The instant photo is ejected through the
rollers. These rollers break developer
paste pods in the base of the photo frame.
A bluish grey paste then coats the image,
triggering a chemical chain reaction that
both develops the instant photo and
shields it from light.
