The Polaroid Macro 5/3 SLR-1200 is a sim-
ple to operate, fully automatic, portable
camera designed for dental and medical
documentation of patient conditions, and
other applications requiring high quality
close-up photographs. The camera uses
Polaroid self-developing instant color films,
so you know immediately that you have
the picture you need.
The Macro 5 camera produces reproduc-
tions at: 0.2X (20%), 0.4X (40%),
1X(100%), 2X (200%) and 3X (300%).
The Macro 3 camera produces reproduc-
tions at: 1X(100%), 2X (200%) and 3X
(300%) only. The lenses for each repro-
duction size are self-contained, so there is
no need to attach accessories when chang-
ing magnification.
The camera has two built-in electronic
flash units providing even illumination, and
a microprocessor-controlled exposure sys-
tem that automatically sets the camera for
the correct exposure at all magnifications.
The flash units also can be used individu-
ally for side-lighting or in combination with
auxiliary lighting. (Macro 5 only)
