The Polaroid Pro 600 camera was designed with an automatic focus to make picture taking an easier process for the casual photographer. Though the automatic focus takes much of the focusing work away from the photographer, you still need to actively adjust how you are taking pictures to ensure good photographs. By learning adjust the subject and the camera you can aid in adjusting the automatic focus and take better pictures.
Instructions
1. Move the subject or the camera so that the subject is no closer than two feet away from the camera and no more than 10 feet away. The flash on the Polaroid Pro 600 has a range of approximately 10 feet. If the subject is beyond that range or too close your pictures may end up out of focus.
2. Position the subject of the photograph so that the sun is behind or to the side of the subject. The sun pointing at the subject may result in a shot that is out of focus. The distance to the subject is not a factor in outdoor shots when there is sufficient light. In dark outdoor shooting conditions, position the subject between two and 10 feet from the camera.
3. Look through the viewfinder and line up the subject so that it is in the center of the viewfinder. The automatic focus on the Polaroid Pro 600 adjusts based on the object in the center of the viewfinder. Your pictures will end up out of focus if the subject is positioned to the left or right in the viewfinder.
4. Hold the camera steady when pressing the shutter button so that camera shake does not have an effect on the automatic focus.
