Great pictures in any light-
outdoors and indoors

The human eye adjusts to ligtrt differ-
ently than the camera's eye, which
makes  it difficult to judge how light
from the scene will affect your picture.
Everyone who takes pictures has had
the experience  of looking at a subject
or scene, photographing  it, and being
disappointed With the picture because
it looks different than what he or she
saw in the viewfinder.
So Polaroid designed a camera system
that gives you the beautiful picture
you expect to see. By blending light
from the scene with just enough flash,
the camera more accurately repro-
duces, on film, what appeared in the
viewfinder.
Here are some examoles  of what this
camera can do when you use the
electronic flash for every picture-
outdoors and indoors.
