How to Get the Best Photos Out of Your Cameroo Camera

1. Lighting Is Everything

Disposable cameras work best in bright light.

  • Best: Outdoors in the daytime.
  • Good: Cloudy days for soft, even light without harsh shadows.
  • Avoid: Dark rooms without flash.

Pro tip: The film inside captures warm “golden hour” light beautifully — just after sunrise or before sunset.

2. Use Your Flash (More Than You Think)

  • Indoors: Always turn the flash on, even in the daytime.
  • Outdoors: Use flash in shaded areas or cloudy weather to brighten faces.
  • Flash range: Works best within 2–3 m (6–10 ft). Beyond that, the flash won’t reach.

3. Get the Distance Right

  • Ideal portrait distance: Stand about 1–2 m away.
  • Too close: Faces will blur.
  • Too far: People appear small — fill the frame for the best results.

4. Embrace the Film Look

Your Cameroo camera isn’t about perfect sharpness — it’s about capturing a feeling.

  • Film grain, soft edges, and subtle colour shifts are part of the charm.
  • Focus on candid moments, textures, and scenes that tell a story.

5. Avoid the Classic Mistakes

  • Do not cover the lens or flash with your fingers.
  • Hold steady — tuck your elbows in or lean on something to reduce blur.
  • Be mindful of reflections — flash can bounce off windows and mirrors.

6. Care for Your Camera

  • Keep it cool and dry — heat can damage the film.
  • Write the date or event on the camera so you remember later.
  • Do not open the camera before the roll is finished, or you will ruin the film.
