The Polaroid ProCam is a rugged,
portable, folding camera designed
to meet the needs of business
users for documentation,
verification and identification. It
has a wide angle lens and can
focus on subjects as close as 18
inches (46cm) to meet a wide
range of photographic
requirements. With an
easy-to-attach close-up lens, you
can photograph subjects as close
as 12 inches (30cm). The ProCam
features a durable strap for
comfortable one-handed
operation. If you choose, the
camera can imprint the date or
time in your photographs. Other
features include a sonar autofocus
system and a built-in electronic
flash, both of which can be
overridden or cancelled as
needed, and a tripod socket.
