Focus distance
Aim the center of the autofocus frame at your subject. When you half-press the shutter button, the focus / subject distance is shown on the inner and outer displays.
Polaroid App
While the Polaroid I-2 works as a standalone instant camera, you can download the Polaroid App to access more features and gain even greater control over your photography
Focus – Exposure lock
Half-pressing the shutter button will also lock exposure and focus on the subject.
For an in-focus, off-center subject: keep the button half-pressed, re-aim the autofocus frame, and shoot
Subject Framing
The whole viewfinder represents a photo framed at ∞. When a subject is closer than 8m, you may want to ensure your subject is centered within the frame by
- locking focus and 2. adjusting your framing.
Exposure meter
In Manual mode the exposure meter helps to find the right exposure (0) on the inner and outer displays.
If the meter points to the right, your photo will be overexposed. Try a faster shutter speed or a higher ƒ/number.
In all other modes the camera will try to automatically select the correct exposure (0). However, if you have used the EV dial to compensate the exposure, the displays will reflect this.
