   The Polaroid holder has  a small lever which allows 
unlatching the film envelope from the holder when the lever 
is in the Load position. Take the picture, close the 
envelope, and remove it without processing by using this 
little lever. This is also useful when you want to use the 
Polaroid processing later. This is handy when you want to 
shoot pictures rapidly or when its too hot or cold for 
processing.
   After the envelope is removed it can be peeled apart in 
the darkroom and the film part removed for conventional 
processing. Be careful of the processing pods, the stuff in 
them is quite caustic.
