Polaroid introduces
sonar focusing
-
the
ultimate in
One-Step
photography.
The instant
you
see
your
picture,
just
aim
and shoot. With
sonar
focusing,
the camera
sets the lens instantly,
automatically.
How
sonar focusing works
As
you
begin to
press
the
shutter button,
your
camera releases
sound waves to the
central
part
of the scene.
The frequencies
are far beyond
our
range
of hearing
and travel at l-:
speed of sound.
The
split second it takes for the
sound to reach
your
subject and tl'.
echo to return is fed
into a tiny
electronic computer inside
the
camera.
The
computer uses this
time measurement
to calculate the
distanc:
between the camera lens
and
your
subject, then
signals a motor tc
turn the lens
until
your
subject is
in sharp focus.
This
extraordinary chain of
events takes
place
in less than
1/3 of a
second.
