ABSOLUTELY NORMAL! - Film photography

I love this camera! The device is quite easy to use. All you have to do is press a button to take a photo and you're done! However, there isn't much control over tweaking the settings, as many people have already pointed out. The previous Polaroid (I think I once had an instax mini 9?) let you change the settings to accommodate cloudy, sunny indoor environments, but not this one. However my old polaroid was defective so these settings didn't work and after a few weeks all the pictures I took were completely black so I sent it back. But I didn't have that problem! I've noticed that photos come out best when they're taken indoors or when it's not very sunny outside...which sucks because I'm trying to take photos with great sunlight here, do you feel it? Sunlight makes photos too bright and I don't know how to fix that because there is no way to adjust the exposure. If anyone has any advice on this please let me know (if there is a way to reply to my review...). Overall I like the camera, it's nice to carry around and share photos with friends (but not TOO much...this film is EXPENSIVE). I've had it for a few weeks now and am still playing with it to better understand how to take photos. I don't have enough experience with an old Polaroid model or any other Polaroid camera to recommend which one is best for what purpose, but that's nice. I will not add my personal photos for privacy reasons.
