SEE THE WORLD IN A NEW LIGHT
Polaroid has designed a unique photographic system. Using a tiny elec-
tronic computer, the system - a camera w¡th a built-in f lash and Polaroid
600 Land film - measures light from the subject and blends it v¡ith the r¡ght
amount of f lash for beautiful pictures, indoors and outdoors. ln strong sun-
light, the f lash adds just enough light to soften harsh shadows.
The camera's built-in electronic f lash unit lifts up for picture{aking, folds
down for carrying ease. The f lash is designed to be used for every picture
- outdoors and indoors.
ln addition, the Model 660 AutoFocus camera has an automatic focusing.
system which consists of a f ixed front lens and an internal rotating disk with
four lenses. Using sound waves to measure the distance between the cam-
era lens and your subject, the computer selects the correct lens that will
put your subject in sharp focus.
The Model 650 has a buillin close-up lens which allows you to take pic-
tures from as close as 60cm (2 ft.)
Throughout the text you will find a series of numbers. Each of these
refers to a picture on the fold-out pages.
