The red light is the Low Battery indicator.

Where could I take my camera to get it checked? I am having the same problem, the red light is on but the settings lights does not. I also recently dropped it , but I hope it's not broken.
My camera just bounced off my bed and fell on my laptop. it looks like I'm my the only one who's experiencing this after it falling. The batteries seemed fine, what should I do?
Thanks! I actually dropped my poloroid a while ago and thought that was the problem but it turns out I hadn’t changed the batteries. Really helpful thank you!
What if my camera doesn't work and I just replaced the batterys with new ones and it's still not taking pictures? Can you please help me

On my Instax 9 I take a picture and the red light turns on, then the camera makes a buzzing sound like it’s going to print the picture, then it doesn’t. The back where you load the film kind of pushes on the case and when I open it i hear some spring go back into shape or something?

If you look inside of the battery chamber, it says to either use LR6 batteries, or 1.5 Volt batteries. I hope I helped

Thanks for this answer! It turns out that i wasnt paying attention to the batteries i were grabbing from the container, and mustve grabbed dead ones when i was trying to replace them lol. That probably doesnt make sense, but if i hadnt looked up what the solid red light meant, i woulnt have replaced them. Thanks again

Make sure the bat your using is a quality brand with 1.5 volts.
I had the same problem. I was trying to use a rechargeable bat which had max voltage off 1.3v

I have put new alkaline batteries in, the right way. And my light on my camera is orange, It is not blinking. When I take photos they only show up white, even in a dark room. I am not covering the light sensor or anything. What is wrong?

Mine does the same thing except the brightness setting lights just all blink orange. And it will not take a picture. The film counter also will not reset with a new case of film?
