When the shutter button is pressed, the
shutter opens to allow light to enter the
camera through the lens.
Light is focused through the lens onto
the mirror at the back of the camera.
The light bounces off the mirror and down
onto the film. The film contains layers of
light-sensitive chemistry. As light hits
these layers, the image is exposed.
The instant photo is ejected through the
rollers. These rollers break developer
paste pods in the base of the photo frame.
A bluish grey paste then coats the image,
triggering a chemical chain reaction that
both develops the instant photo and
shields it from light.

I-1 APP INFO LEAFLET
CHARGE THE CAMERA
Important: The I-1 will not be
charged upon purchase – it must
be fully charged before first use.
You should charge the I-1 fully
before every use to ensure it has
enough power for the duration of
your shoot. A full charge usually
takes just one and a half to two
hours when you use the dedicated
I-1 USB charging cable (P) with
a smartphone power adapter or
computer USB port. To charge the
camera, plug the USB charging
cable Pinto the micro USB slot
on the camera door K. Then plug
the other end of the cable into
a charger such as your iPhone
charger, or into your computer’s
USB slot. The red power indicator
LED Jwill switch off as soon as
the battery is fully charged.
1TURN THE CAMERA ON/OFF
To turn the camera on, turn the
control knob Bcounter-clockwise
BOX CONTENTS HOW TO USE THE I-1
English | 11
until the yellow lines on the control
knob and shutter button Aline
up, and the filled circle symbol is
at the front. To turn it off again,
turn the control knob clockwise
until the empty circle symbol is
at the front and the yellow line
is pointing downwards.
2LOAD THE FILM
Slide the film door latch Hto open
the film door L. Push the film cas-
sette all the way in, with darkslide
up and plastic base at the bottom.
Note: Please check individual film
packaging for development time,
handling and storage details.
3CLOSE FILM DOOR
When you close the film door, the
darkslide will eject from the camera
automatically, underneath the frog
tongue. The plastic frog tongue is
designed to protect images from
light as they develop – it should
not be removed. Take the darkslide
out from under the frog tongue and
let the frog tongue roll back up. If
the darkslide has not ejected, take
out the film pack and re-insert it,
making sure it is pushed all the
way to the back of the camera.
4SET FLASH & LIGHTEN/DARKEN
Flash: You can find the flash on/
off switch Gon the side of the
lens barrel. To turn the flash on,
push the flash on/off switch up so
it meets the yellow lightning flash
symbol. The flash is on by default
when you unpack the camera. We
recommend that you use the flash
in all conditions except bright,
direct sunlight.
Note: the camera should be fully
charged to take best advantage
of the ring flash.
Lighten/Darken: Use the lighten/
darken switch Con the opposite
side of the lens barrel to adjust
the exposure of your shot. To get a
brighter photo, move the lighten/
darken switch up to the plus posi-
tion. For a darker photo, move the
lighten/darken switch down to the
minus position. These two settings
ENGLISH

12 | English
correspond to different Exposure
Values (EV). The camera’s Expo-
sure Values are + 2/3(when you
move the switch up) and - 2/3(when
you move the switch down).
5OPEN THE VIEWFINDER
To open the viewfinder D& E
,
gently push the tab labeled ‘push’
sideways in the direction of the
arrow. This will release the latch
and the viewfinder will pop up.
To close it again, simply fold it
down, rear lens first, pressing
gently downwards until the latch
clicks shut.
Using the viewfinder: The I-1 uses
a mechanical pop-up viewfinder
with reflective silver markings
that help you to align the camera
correctly for a well-composed shot.
The viewfinder is most accurate
when you hold it 4 – 5cm away
from your eye. To use the align-
ment markings, follow these steps:
· Close one eye and hold your
camera out in front of you, at first
about 20cm away from your face.
· Train your eye on the silver dot on
the viewfinder’s rear lens. Move
the camera until the silver dot is
in the center of the circle on the
front lens.
· Move the camera towards you
until the viewfinder is 4–5 cm
away from your eye. The dot will
become blurry but should still
be visible inside the circle. You’ll
see that the view through the
viewfinder has become sharp.
· Remember that the viewfinder
sits above the camera’s lens,
so at very close distances (1.2
meters or less), you will need to
aim higher than what you see in
the viewfinder to compose your
shot correctly.
Note: See “The Viewfinder” diagram
on the inside cover of this manual.
English | 13
6COMPOSE YOUR PHOTO
The I-1 uses infrared light to work
out how far away the subject is.
In order for this to work most
effectively, your subject should be
at the center of your composition
while the camera is focusing. If
you don’t want your subject to be
in the center of your photo, first
compose the shot with the subject
at the center. Then press the
shutter button halfway in to focus.
To avoid a blurry photo, make sure
you are at least 30cm away from
your subject when you take the
picture.
Important: The shutter button has two
positions: press it lightly halfway in
to focus, and firmly all the way in to
take a photo. You will feel a very subtle
click when you reach the halfway po-
sition. Practice this a few times while
the camera is switched off to
get a feel for it.
Keep your finger on the shutter
button as it’s pressed halfway in,
then reframe your shot by moving
your subject off-center. Then,
finally, push the shutter button all
the way in to take the photo. Your
subject will remain in focus even
though it is no longer centered.
7TAKE THE PHOTO
Press the shutter button A
halfway to automatically focus your
shot. Press the shutter button all
the way in to take the photo. The
photo will be ejected from the slot
at the front of the camera as soon
as you let go of the shutter button.
It will be shielded from the light
by the frog tongue I, which also
holds it in place.
8REMOVE AND SHIELD THE PHOTO
Remove the photo from beneath
the frog tongue and let the frog
tongue roll back into the camera.
Place the photo face down to
continue shielding it from light
as it develops.

HOW THE RING FLASH WORKS
The I-1 ring flash is made up of
12 individual LEDs. 8 LEDs (1 red,
7 white) provide the main
light source and give status indica-
tions – these are supplemented by
4 smaller LEDs. When you
take a photo, all 12 LEDs will
flash at once, to provide a bright
but soft light.
Important: always use the flash for
every shot, unless you’re shooting in
bright, direct sunlight.
As well as lighting photos, the ring
flash also gives you information
about the camera’s current status.
You can use the ring flash to see:
How much film is left in the pack
Every time you turn the control
knob to the on position, the ring
flash will light up. The number of
LEDs which light up corresponds to
the number of shots you have left.
So e.g. if six LEDs light up, there
are six shots left in that film pack.
If you have used up all 8 shots in
your film pack, or if there is no film
pack inserted in the camera, then
the red LED (top) will blink rapidly
when you turn the camera on.
How much battery you have left
If you press the shutter button A
while the camera is switched off,
the number of LEDs which light
up will correspond to battery level.
So e.g. if six bulbs light up, your
camera’s battery is 6/8 charged.
When the I-1 battery is low (3 or
fewer ring flash LEDs light up),
then the red LED power indicator
Jwill blink on and off and the
flash will no longer work. At this
point you should only use the
camera for photography in bright,
direct sunlight.
Important: Due to the high power
requirements of the ring flash, we
recommend that you always charge the
I-1 before use, for about an hour, using
the USB charging cable provided.
FURTHER GUIDANCE
English | 15
COMPATIBLE FILM
The I-1 works with all Impossible
600-type and Impossible
I-type films, in either color or
black & white.
REMOVING THE VIEWFINDER
The viewfinder is removable. It’s
attached to the top of the camera
with magnets, which makes it easy
to detach and reattach. When you
want to reattach it, it will simply
slide and click into place. You will
need the viewfinder to compose all
your shots, but you can remove it
when you need to throw your cam-
era into a bigger bag or suitcase.
CLEANING THE VIEWFINDER
When cleaning the viewfinder,
we recommend that you only use
cleaning cloths made for optical
lenses, like the one included in the
I-1 box. Do not use any solvent,
such as alcohol, to clean the
viewfinder, as this may damage the
silver markings.
CLEANING THE CAMERA’S ROLLERS
To clean the camera’s rollers, first
make sure the I-1 is switched off.
Then open the film door L- the
rollers are two metal cylinders
located just inside. Position your
thumbs on top of the rollers on
either side, then gently turn in-
wards, towards the camera. Clean
the rollers as you go, using a soft
cloth slightly dampened with water.
Do not use solvents or chemical
cleaners, as these may damage the
camera. Then make sure you turn
the camera on before you close the
film door again. This will reset the
roller position.
POWER SUPPLY
Charge the I-1 fully before every
use to ensure it has enough power
for the duration of your shoot (see
"CHARGE THE CAMERA"). The red
power indicator LED Jswitches
off as soon as the battery is fully
charged. The rechargeable Li-ion
battery will typically last long

16 | English
enough for you to shoot 15 packs
of film at once, or for three days
of use on and off. You can check
how much battery life you have by
counting how many LEDs in the
ring flash blink when you turn the
camera off and on again.
When the I-1 battery is low (3 or
fewer ring flash LEDs light up),
then the red LED power indicator
Jwill slowly blink on and off and
the flash will no longer work. When
the battery is critically low, the
blinking becomes more rapid and
the camera will cease operation.
UPDATING CAMERA SOFTWARE
The I-1 box includes a USB data
cable Q. This is a dedicated cable
for data transfer between the cam-
era and a computer. Please only
use it if for updating the software
of your I-1.
ATTACH THE CAMERA HAND STRAP
The I-1 comes with a removable
hand strap N . To attach it to the
camera, first locate the two circular
strap mounts Mon the sides of
the camera towards the back.
When you get your camera, it will
come with two screws O in the
accessories compartment. Position
the screws at either end of the
strap over the mount holes. Twist
the screws in until they can go no
further and are holding the strap
firmly in place.
USING A TRIPOD
The I-1 has a tripod socket in its
base, which works with most stan-
dard tripods. Simply screw your
tripod mount onto the I-1.
Note: with most tripods, the tripod
mount will need to be unscrewed
before you can load or exchange film
into the I-1.
English | 17
THE I-1 APP
THE I-1 APP FOR iOS & ANDROID
The I-1 works as a standalone point
and shoot camera, but you can also
unlock more features through the
I-1 App for Apple iOS (8 and up)
and Google Android (4.3 and up).
To check whether your Apple or
Android device is compatible with
the I-1, visit this link:
support.the-impossible-project.com
DOWNLOADING THE I-1 APP AND
CONNECTING IT WITH YOUR CAMERA
Download the I-1 App to your
device. Search for ‘Impossible I-1’
in the Apple App Store or Google
Play Store. To connect the camera
to the App, put the camera in
App Mode by turning the control
knob Bcounterclockwise until
the Bluetooth symbol is at the
front. A blue indicating LED within
the camera’s ring flash will blink
slowly as it searches for a device
to pair with. Make sure Bluetooth
is enabled on your smartphone
or iPod touch, then open up the
App. You’ll know the devices are
paired when the App screen reads
‘Connection Successful’ and the
blue LED stops blinking.
If you are having trouble connect-
ing the camera to the App, then try
resetting the camera by pressing
the reset button. You can find the
reset button inside the film door
– it’s a small black dot on the top
left-hand side, above where the
film pack is inserted. To push the
reset button, carefully apply gentle
pressure with a narrow pointed
object like a pencil or a toothpick.

TROUBLESHOOTING & F.A.Q.
The I-1 won’t eject
my photo
Make sure that the control knob is in the ‘on’ posi-
tion: the yellow line on the control knob should be
lined up with the line on the shutter button.
Make sure that your I-1 camera is charged: the
power indicator LED Jshould glow red if the
camera is on and charged. It will rapidly blink red
if it doesn’t have enough power to operate. If the
light doesn’t turn on, the battery may be completely
empty and need to be charged.
Make sure you still have film in your camera: to
check, turn the control knob off and on. The ring
flash will indicate how many shots you have left.
If the red LED (top) in the ring flash blinks rapidly
when the camera turns on again, this means that
there are no shots left in the film pack, or that no
film pack is inserted.
Make sure you press the eject button all the way
in to ensure that the photo ejects properly. If the
camera is still unresponsive, try pressing the reset
button inside the film door to do a hard reset.
The ring flash
doesn’t fire when I
take a photo
Make sure that the ring flash is switched on – the
flash on/off switch should be pushed up so it meets
the yellow lightning flash symbol.
English | 19
(continued) If the flash still won’t fire, then the camera may be
conserving battery life in low power mode. You can
check if this is the case by looking at the red power
indicator LED – if the camera is on and it is blink-
ing, the flash will be inhibited in order to conserve
battery, and the camera needs to be charged.
My photo turned
out slightly
too dark
Make sure you use the camera with flash ON: we
strongly recommend that you always use the flash
when shooting indoors, as well as outside at night-
time, at dusk and on cloudy days.
Make sure you are not shooting towards the sun:
the I-1 meters the average light level it sees. When
shooting towards sunlight, the sun exposes the
image in such a way that it can become too dark to
reveal your subject properly.
Move the lighten/darken switch Con the right
side of the lens barrel to the + position for a
brighter image.

20 | English
My photo turned
out blurry or fuzzy
The I-1 autofocus system selects the focus distance
when you press the shutter button Ahalfway in. It
will use the center of what you see as the reference
point. If your subject is off-center, move your sub-
ject to the center of your shot, then press the shut-
ter button halfway in. Recompose your shot while
still holding the shutter button half pressed in.
Hold the camera steady when shooting, especially
in low light conditions, and make sure you have
a strong light source to illuminate your shot. We
strongly recommend that you always use the flash
when shooting indoors and outdoors at nighttime,
at dusk or on cloudy days. You can also use a tripod
to give your camera a stable base.
Make sure you are not too close to your subject
when you take a photo. In order to avoid blurriness,
you should shoot from at least 30cm away.
Horizontal bars
appear across
my image
If you see horizontal bars or stripes across your
photo, this means that the camera’s rollers are
depositing dirt or developer paste on the image and
need to be cleaned. To clean the rollers, first open
the film door Land remove the film pack from the
camera. Then gently wipe down the rollers with a
soft, damp cloth.
English | 21
MAKE PHOTOS INDOORS
Always use the flash when shooting
indoors, even when you don’t think
you need it. Indoor light appears
yellow on Impossible film – the
I-1’s ring flash is designed to
compensate for this.
MAKE PHOTOS AT NIGHT
Getting a good photo at night
means paying attention to the light
already in the scene. You will need
different settings whether you’re
shooting at a party or trying to
capture streetlight, for example.
When shooting at a party (or in any
indoor nighttime environment), you
should always use the flash. You
can also try moving the lighten/
darken switch up to get a brighter
shot. If you want to capture city
lights at night, you can use the I-1
App to fine-tune your image by ad-
justing aperture and shutter speed
in Manual Mode.
MAKE PHOTOS OUTDOORS
Natural light is your best friend
when it comes to instant photog-
raphy. On a sunny day, outdoors,
you don’t need to use the ring flash
at all. Make sure that the sun is
always behind you when you shoot.
If your environment is very bright,
you can try moving the lighten/
darken switch down to the ‘darken’
position to let less light into the
shot and ensure it isn’t blown
out. Remember that if you are not
shooting in bright, direct sunlight,
we recommend that you still use
the ring flash.
MAKE LANDSCAPE PHOTOS
If you’re trying to capture a land-
scape, make sure that the sun or
main light source is behind you to
prevent the image from being blown
out. On a gloomy day you may wish
to put the camera on a steady sur-
face, which makes it easier for the
entire scene to remain in focus.

BATTERY AND CHARGER
· This device uses a custom Impossible lithium ion
battery that is non-removable and mounted inside the
camera body. No other type of battery can be used.
Battery replacement can only be done by Impossible
Service Centers. The battery will provide many years of
service if properly used.
· Power consumption varies depending on the
environment the device is used in and how the device
has been stored. Used directly after full charge, the
battery will power the processing of up to 15 film
packs with flash exposures, or three days of use on
and off. Due to the high energy requirements of the
flash, we recommend charging the camera before
every session for best results.
· Once the battery energy level falls below a certain
level, the device will no longer process film. The LED
will blink and signal when it needs to be recharged.
This is to avoid a photo getting stuck as it’s being
processed through the roller system.
· The rechargeable battery is not fully charged at the
time of purchase. Charge the battery fully with the Im-
possible USB charging cable (provided). This usually
takes 1-2 hours (can vary depending on usage).
· The supplied USB charging cable has been tested and
certified to work with the Apple iPhone power adaptor.
While it can be used in other USB ports, e.g. comput-
ers, USB power adaptors, TVs, cars etc., Impossible
cannot guarantee correct operation.
· When the device is no longer in use, please recycle
it properly.
USAGE ENVIRONMENT
· The I-1 must be powered by direct current only.
· Charge the I-1 using the USB charging cable
provided in the camera box.
· To protect the high-precision technology contained in
this device, never leave the camera in the following
