Polaroid & temperature (Friend & Foe)

Instant film develops best at temperatures between 13°C and 28°C (55°F–82°F). Outside this range, temperature can affect the chemical development process and change the appearance of your photos.

Below 13°C (55°F)
What to expect:
Photos may appear over- or underexposed, have lower contrast, or develop with a noticeable blue or green color cast.
Tips:
Keep your camera and film warm before shooting. An inside jacket pocket close to your body works well. After taking a photo, let it develop somewhere warm, such as inside your pocket, or gently warm it with your hands.

Above 28°C (82°F)
What to expect:
Color film may develop with unwanted red, yellow, or magenta color casts.
Tips:
Keep your film cool before use by storing it in a refrigerator. Once a photo has been ejected, allow it to develop in a cool place, such as an air-conditioned room or an insulated bag.

For the Best Results
For the most consistent colors, contrast, and exposure, try to shoot and develop your instant film within the 13°C–28°C (55°F–82°F) temperature range. When shooting outside this range, keeping the film at a suitable temperature during both shooting and development can help minimize unwanted color and exposure effects.
