SX-70 Polaroid Sonar OneStep Help?

Question

I just recently bought an SX-70 on EBay. I tested it, took two pictures so far. It seemed to be working fine. I've been using 600 film. I bought the ND filter, and the pictures are a little dark, but otherwise I'm happy with it. But tonight I tried to take a picture and nothing happened when I pressed the shutter. The shutter opens and closes, but the camera doesn't make a sound and no picture is released. I have the SX-70 Sonar One Step version. Need help ASAP because I wanted to make a birthday card using Polaroid pictures, but now I can't. :/

Answer 1

I don't hae a sx-70 but i have.. some polaroid camera, but it uses 600 film and that happens to me once and a while (even though i bought it new?). Try taking out the film pack out while inside a completely dark closet or a dark room, so the film wont be exposed to light. Then, just insert it back in. It should work, you might lose a picture though since the polaroid automaticly pops out a film when you insert the film cartridge back in. Either try to put an old polaroid picture inside the cartridge or the old black card if you still have it.
