UNIT
AND
The Polaroid

signed
for use
only

Hi-Power
flashcubes,
or
equivalent.
With

shutter is
automatically
set at a
constant
speed. In front
of
the
flashcube
there
is a
set of variable
louvers
(A).
To
get
correctly
exposed
pictures,
these louvers
automatically
open
and
close by the
required
amount
as
the
camera is focused
on
the sub-
ject.
The
total
flash
range extends
f rom
3y2tt.
to about
10 ft. f
rom the
camera.
FLASHCUBES
You must focus
accurately,
to
get
a
correct
exposure
(see
page
12).
Each
flashcube
gives
four flashes.
After
each
flash
you
must
push
forward
the lever
(B)
in order to
rotate the
cube in readi-
ness
for the next
picture.
After
the
fourth
flash the
lever
will not
return to
its
normal
position,
indicating
that
the
cube must
be changed.
The light
given
by the flashcubes
is
balanced
to
re-
semble average daylight
and
will
give
excellent
results with
both Polacolor
and
black and
white films. On
the
rear
of the flash
unit
is a Lighten/Darken
control
(C)
for adjustment
of individual
flash
exposures
(see
pages
15
and 35).
The flash unit
has a
compartment
(D)
in the
rear for two
batteries.
YOUR NEW
FLASH
UNIT DOES
NOT
CONTAIN BATTERIES.
These
are
pro-
vided separately
with
the flash
unit.
Before
you
can take
flash
pictures,
you
must insert
the batteries,
as
described
on
page
