Polaroid Unveils Mod Instant Camera for About AZN 290
Polaroid unveiled its new Polaroid Mod analog instant camera on September 29. The model has 4 analog effects that are applied while shooting. In other words, the effects are not added to the photo later through digital editing. The camera went on sale through the company's online store for $169.99 (about AZN 290) and will be available at other stores starting October 6. Information about launch dates in other countries varies. In some markets, the device is expected to launch early next year.
The Polaroid Mod has 2 lenses. The standard lens is 103 mm, while the portrait lens is 95 mm. However, reports about the focusing system conflict. The technical specifications list fixed focus, but a test unit used 2-zone infrared autofocus. A dial on the front can reduce or increase the photo's brightness by 1 stop from the automatic setting. A large flash and a red shutter button are also located there. The rear has an LED indicator showing the number of remaining shots, a flash control button, and a timer. A dial around the main lens can be used to select Double Exposure, Split Shot, Motion Freeze, and Light Painting modes. Double Exposure superimposes 2 images. Split Shot uses a special half-cover to capture each part of the frame separately. Motion Freeze fires the flash at the end of a long exposure. This leaves both a motion trail and a more clearly defined subject in the same photo. In Light Painting mode, the exposure lasts 7 seconds, allowing light trails to be created with bright light sources such as a flashlight.
The camera works with i-Type and 600 color film, as well as black-and-white film. The battery has a capacity of 750 mAh and is charged through a USB-C port. The camera can take 120 shots on a single charge. This is equivalent to 15 film packs. The Polaroid Mod weighs about 520 g. This makes it lighter than the Polaroid Flip, which weighs about 640 g. Images on instant film take 10 to 15 minutes to develop fully. The photos may not be as clear as images taken with a smartphone. They may appear grainy and have high contrast. A compatible cartridge containing 8 shots costs $19 (about AZN 32). Some film packs cost as much as $20 (about AZN 34). Because the creative modes may require several attempts, shooting costs may also increase.
