Polaroid has launched the Polaroid I-2 Instant Camera in Europe, capable of manual operation like a DSLR. The direct sales price is 699.99 euros (approximately 110,000 yen), and the release in Japan is yet to be determined.
Known for its simplicity, Polaroid allows anyone to capture photos with just a click of the shutter, without changing settings or modes, and instantly produces a photograph. The newly introduced Polaroid I-2 Instant Camera is the first in the series to allow manual control of aperture and shutter speed.
Six Modes Available
It is now possible to switch between six modes: Auto, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, Manual, Multiple Exposure, and Self-timer, greatly expanding the range of expression.
LiDAR Sensor for Low Light Performance
Instead of infrared autofocus, it features a LiDAR sensor that measures distance by reflecting laser light, allowing for precise focusing even in dark environments.
The lens design involved Japanese and Taiwanese engineers, with the minimum shooting distance at F8 being 0.4m. Charging is via a USB-C port. The external dimensions are 149.9×19.3×91.2mm, and it weighs 1,260g.
