How
sonar
focusing
works
As you beg
in
to
press the shutter
button, your camera releases sound
waves
to
the central part of the scene
(approximate area marked
in
blue).
The frequencies are far beyond our
range of hearing and travel at the
speed of sou nd
(1
,100 feet per
second).
The split second
it
takes for the
sound to reach your subject and
the echo
to
return
is
fed into a tiny
electronic computer inside the
camera.
The computer uses this time measurement to calculate the distance
between the camera lens and your
subject, then signals a motor to turn
the lens until your subject
is
in
sharp focus.
This extraordinary chain of events
takes
place
in less than
113
of a
second.

POLAROID SX·70 LAND
FILM
Film and flash
Your camera uses Polaroid SX-70
Land film and FlashBars. Each film
pack provides ten color pictures
and contains a battery that powers
the camera. Each FlashBar has
ten bulbs.
You'll never waste a flash or film
with this camera.
It
will not let a
bulb
fire when a film
pack
is empty
and will not take a picture when
all the bulbs on one side of the
FlashBar have been fired. Your
camera also finds the next good
bulb
in
a partly used FlashBar.
Please read the important electronic flash statement
on
page
39.

Your subject may be forced to
squint when facing bright sunlight.
To
get the natural expression you
want, take your subject out of direct
sunlight and use "fill-flash."
When the sun is behind your subject (but not shining directly into
the lens), your subject usually will
be too dark in the picture. "Fill-flash"
can provide the added light your
subject needs.

Watch the background
To
assure that it
will
be well lit
by the flash, the background should
be colorful and near your subject.
When the background

dark, or
far behind your subject, or beyond
the flash range, it will be too dark

18
Page 18
Arrange groups carefully
All the people in a group should be
about the same distance from the
camera. Then everyone will be lit
evenly by the flash.
To
avoid a flash reflection
When shooting toward a reflective
object or background (mirror. window, eyeglasses, etc.). stand
to
one side of your subject and shoot
from
an
angle
to
avoid a flash
reflection
in
the picture (see below) .
However, when the reflective surface

angle may
cause the sound waves

If
this hap pens, the lens will be set incorrectly
and your picture may be unsharp .
To
avoid this, you can set the lens
manually (see page

Tips on outdoor lighting
Outdoors, your camera's electric
eye controls the lens opening and
shutter speed
to
let just the right
amount of I ight reach the
fi 1m.
The electric eye works best when
the scene is evenly lit.
It
can be
"fooled" by uneven lighting as
described below.
Bright backgrounds:
Wh ite wall ,
sw
imming poo
l,
beach or snow
scenes, etc.
When a bright background
is
a
large part of the scene and reflects
more I ight than your subject. the
electric eye sets the camera for the
background causing your subject
to
appear too dark
in
the picture
(top right)
You
can
do
one of two things before
taking the picture :
• move closer
to
your subject
to re-
duce
the effect of the background
(bottom right)
• turn the Lighten/Darken control
toward Lighten (shown below)
to
lighten your subject.

When a dark background

To
use the focus wheel: Look
at
the
most important part of the scene.
Roll the focus wheel all the way
in
one direction, then all the way
in
the other. Notice that the image
changes from fuzzy
to
sharp and
back
to
fuzzy.
Return the wheel
to
the point where
your subject began to look sharp
and clear. Now roll
it
a bit
in
each
direction until you're sure your
subject is
as
sharp and clear
as
possible.
You
can check your ability
to
focus accurately by comparing
the setting
on
the distance scale
around the lens with the actual
camera-to-subject distance.

Care
of
your system
The camera
Treat your camera with care. Rough
handling may damage delicate
parts. Keep the camera closed when
not
in
use. The lens and viewfinder
will seldom need cleaning.
If
they
do, blow off any dust, then
wipe
them gently with a clean, lint-free
cloth. From time to time, clean the
rollers inside the film door with a
similar cloth, moistened with water
if necessary (see page 32).
The film
Polaroid SX-70 Land film, like all
film, should be kept cool. If possible,
store below 75°F (24"C).
For
longer
storage, keep below 65°F (18"C).
In
its sealed box, the film can be
refrigerated (not frozen). Let it
reach room temperature before
using
it.
This will take at least
an
hour.
To
preserve its freshness, keep the
film sealed
in
its protective box
until ready for use. Then, take the
same care of a loaded camera as
you
do
your film. Keep the camera
in
a cool place (but not
in
a
refrigerator).
The pictures
When your developing picture
comes out of the camera, handle it
by its
wide
white border. Don't
bend, crush or fold the picture.
Don't cut the picture's borders, this
can ruin the picture.
The brilliant pictures made with
your SX-70 system are among the
most stable and resistant to fading
ever known
in
photography.
Fingerprints
on
your pictures can
be easily removed. Simply "mist"
the surface with your breath, then
polish lightly with a tissue or a soft
clean cloth.

Electronic flash
Your camera was designed to use
FlashBars and with a FlashBar it
will
produce well exposed pictures over
the full flash range from about
10
in.
to
20
ft
.
Because of the special electronic
circuitry
in
SONAR OneStep cameras,
an electronic flash unit must have
matching electronic characteristics
in
order
to
give
good picture results
with this camera.
As
of August, 1978, such electronic
flash units were not available.
However, it is expected that units
designed to
give
excellent results
with SONAR OneStep cameras (over
a shorter flash range) wi
II
be mar-
keted
in
the near future.
Polaroid Customer Service
will
have a I ist of electronic flash
un
its
designed to work with SONAR OneStep cameras and you can get this
information by
calling
toll free (see
page
31)
.
Electronic flash units other than
those listed by Customer Service
may not
give
consistently
good
results and may cause SONAR
OneStep cameras to malfunction.
There is a general rule that
applies
to
any electronic flash unit. If you
get
poor picture results with it, try a
FlashBar. If you get
good
pictures
with a FlashBar, but not with elec-
tronic flash, the cause
of
the problem
is
the electronic flash, not the camera
or the film.
