    • BE CAREFUL NOT TO YANK THE TWO SECTIONS APART BECAUSE THE BAND WIRE STILL ATTACHES THEM!

Hi, since you seem to know stuff about Polaroid cameras, I was wondering if you could help me figure out what is wrong with mine. I have a Polaroid Instant One-Step and whenever I take pictures, they never fully develop. They are a blue-ish hue and are never clear. Is this because of the lens do you think? Or something completely different?

Thanks
