Hey Dan
I've never tried a JoyCam but I normally remove the mirror & box around the
camera itself. In doing this you need to be careful not to damage anything
so it will still fire & eject the picture. A couple of the others have
removed the lenses with good success... good luck & let us know what happens

Subject: [pinhole-discussion] Modifiers of Polaroid Joycams

Hello All,

I am interested in modifying a Polaroid Joycam for pinhole use, and have a
question to those that have done this:

When modifying the camera, did you retain the mirror, or did you rip the
entire top of the cam off, and just build a box with the pinhole in it? What
I need to know is, if you just put a box on it, will the image be reversed,
because the film is designed to be shot with the use of the mirror??/

Thanks,
Dan Gerber
