QR Code Link to This Post
The headlining feature of the OneStep+ is control via bluetooth using the Polaroid Originals app. The I-1 also featured remote control via bluetooth, and it is the most exciting part of this camera. The second feature is an added ‘closeup’ lens which helps make selfies sharper.
Film not included
Visually, the OneStep+ is a handsome camera and there is also a rainbow stripe down the middle that directly evokes the famous vintage OneStep.
The viewfinder is on par with classic Polaroid cameras. The OneStep+ features with a new, improved ‘tube’ viewfinder that juts out from the camera to your eyeball.
The ‘closeup’ mode (designated by the single person icon) is for subjects very close to the camera. Think selfie distance. The other mode, is optimal for distances of 6ft and beyond.
The Bluetooth feature is easy to use and the camera pairs without any fuss. The app is quick to download and easy to use. It leads you through the pairing process quickly, and you can have it up and running in a few short minutes.
The remote shutter works as advertised, with a big button and info about the camera’s status. Having the closeup/landscape toggle status displayed is particularly helpful. There’s also a timer that allows you to set how long it should go for.
Manual mode is an extremely powerful feature that allows you to control exactly how the camera functions. This is a great feature for pros.
Finally, the app also has some scanner abilities, which is handy for sharing your pictures on instagram and elsewhere.
Flip on the big ON switch, point the camera, hit the big button, and you have a picture. There are other features there if you want them, but that’s all you have to worry about to make the camera work.
