How to fix backlit photos with a 1977 instant camera
Faces go dark when the sun is behind them. The V-460 has the same answer the 1977 original had: a small wheel next to the shutter that lightens the next shot.
In short
- Open the V-460
- Turn the wheel to L
- Shoot
- Let it develop
Shooting into the sun with the V-460? Turn the lighten and darken wheel to L before you shoot, and the face comes out bright while the sunset stays.
