You’ll have less equipment to carry, because you can use  
a single holder to make as many exposures as you need.  
The sealed packet also keeps light, fingerprints, and dust  
safely away from the film.  
Each READYLOAD Single-Sheet Packet contains one  
sheet of 4 x 5-inch film, which is attached on both ends to  
a leader and trailer. The lighttight outer envelope performs  
the same function as a dark slide in a conventional  
sheet-film holder.

Operating Tips  
Using the KODAK PROFESSIONAL READYLOAD  
Single-Sheet Packet in the POLAROID 4 x 5 Film  
Holder, Model 545i  
• When you insert and remove the packet, grasp the end  
of the envelope between your thumb and index finger.  
To expose the film, follow these steps:  
• When you squeeze and hold the release bar, keep it  
fully depressed.  
1. Move the control arm to “L.” Grasp the end of the  
packet and insert the packet into the holder until it  
comes to a firm stop.  
• Use a dark cloth when shooting outdoors in bright  
sunlight.  
• Keep the READYLOAD Packet Film Holder clean.  
Press down on the pressure plate and use compressed  
air to remove dust and dirt. You can clean the pressure  
plate with KODAK PROFESSIONAL Lens Cleaner.  
• When you pull the envelope out to expose the film  
(Step 2), part of the stop zone will be visible. To verify  
that your packet was inserted correctly, feel the  
withdrawn packet envelope. You should NOT feel the  
thickness of the film. If you feel the film, the packet  
was not seated properly. Push the packet back into the  
holder until it comes to a firm stop. Then repeat Step 2.

• The release bar should only be used when removing  
the packet from the holder. If you forget to squeeze  
and hold the release bar and force the packet from the  
holder, the clip may detach from the packet and stay in  
the holder. If this happens, remove the holder from the  
camera and depress the pressure plate. Shake the  
holder until the clip falls out.  
2. Grasp the outer protective envelope as shown, and  
pull it out until it stops. You should see part of the  
stop zone.  
3. Expose the film as you normally do.  
4. Push the outer envelope all the way back into the  
holder until it comes to a firm stop.  
• The foil bag can be reused to store exposed packets.  
5. To remove the packet from the holder, squeeze and  
hold the release lever (“R”). Leave the control arm at  
“L.” Then pull the packet straight out. Do not bend the  
packet when you remove it from the holder.

you unload it for processing.
