First of all, thank you for trusting our product. The following tutorial is based on the premise that your camera has been fully repaired and inspected and calibrated.
For basic shooting functions, you can refer to the original Polaroid SX-70 instruction manual. The usage and precautions for fully automatic exposure shooting are almost identical to the original manual, but there are two differences:
1.Micron bulbs are not supported.
2.Darkslide won’t be ejected automatically ——press shutter button to eject it.
Please read the original SX-70 manual for basic usage：https://sx70r.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/SX-70-MANUAL.pdf
The L/D Wheel remains unchanged in its operation, but please pay attention to the flash part in the instruction manual; accurate focusing is still essential.
Although the manual states that the L/D Wheel should not be used for flash adjustment, it can actually still be used to adjust exposure in flash mode if you did use it.
When a flash is inserted and the automatic mode is used, the SX-70R’s circuit board can automatically balance ambient light and flash exposure, which is sufficient for most situations. However, it will not work well in excessively strong light or when the light reflected from the object itself is too strong. In these cases, you will need to manually adjust the L/D wheel to reduce or increase the exposure.
However, you still need to follow the instructions in the manual regarding the use of flash in daylight.
