Imo, the Polaroid Now+ (Gen 2) is definitely a shitty camera in the sense that it always seems to be over or under, but never actually *properly* exposed.

For the price of each print, I think it's best to just run with the results and think of it as a random picture generator.

@analogfusion Yes, the app is wonky, and the B&W is more predictable than the color I think.

I discovered the in-camera exposure compensation recently (press and hold the flash button for 2 secs and then choose from 3 exposure options) and had high hopes, but even the "normal" setting was not great.

@jeremyosborn can you cut out some neutral density gels to tape over the light meter for indoor stuff to get it to overexpose a little indoors?

@nsfmc interesting idea!
What I probably need to do first is a rigorous test roll of different exposures, complete with notes and controlled lighting.

I haven’t really done that yet as it seems antithetical to the whole Polaroid ethos, but it will probably be worth it over the long haul (both in ⏰and💰)
