    Hey i got this off ebay and im not sure how to get the flash to work.
    8f_2.JPG
    model: Sun 600 SE.

    only setting it has is that thing under the lense ? and im pretty sure thats to make pics a bit dark or light, i tried moving it to white side fully but no use, havent tried the opposite side yet.

    Also i bough 20 shots, for 32 euros in that camera shop beside Jack and Jones across central bank, near wicklow street i think ?
    thats a bit steep, is there better offers any where else?

    thanks

    I'd say that little switch is for under/over exposing a bit, I have a later model and it has that. There may be a kind of second button close to the ordinary shutter release which you have to press to get the flash to work? It might be in front of the shutter releaes button. Just a guess I'm going by my own.

    As for film, I think Polaroid have a bit of a monopoly going on, check eBay for slightly out of date film, it's gone up about €10 intwo years or so...

    You pull towards you the red button on the right and that takes the picture - behind it is a similar one of a different colour, which you pull if you don't want flash.
    You are right that the exposure is darkened or lightened by the central switch being moved left or right.
    I agree that the cost of polaroid film in Ireland is ridiculous, particularly since I believe it's made in the EU, in the Netherlands, yet is much cheaper (around $10 per ten-pack) in the US. I know of course that Polaroid are an American company, but it seems obvious that they're cleaning up over here. I use Image film which is even dearer; Fujifilm Instax for their Instax cameras is much cheaper, at about 12.99 here for a ten-pack; I read somewhere that Fuji are making at least some Polaroid now, but I don't know if that means they are making the film that's manufactured in the Netherlands.
