Polaroid I-2 Instant Camera

Beyond the full manual mode, the camera also features a full auto mode, aperture and shutter priority modes, a self-timer, and a multiple exposure mode, which allows for the stacking of between two and four shots on a single piece of Polaroid film. The six modes put the full array of analog photography's creative possibilities at the shooter's fingertips.

The I-2 features Polaroid's most advanced lens system yet, a continuous autofocus 3-lens system that uses a LiDAR ranging sensor to lock on a subject and deliver the sharpest results yet. Powered by a stepper motor, the autofocus frame at the center of the viewfinder determines and displays the distance from focal plane to the subject, which can be locked along with exposure by half-pressing the shutter button. The 98mm, f/8 lens has an antireflective coating that reduces glare and ghost images while the focal length and maximum aperture combine to generate more depth of field, producing high-quality bokeh effects and emphasizing the camera's portraiture capabilities. The lens also features a built-in 49mm filter thread mount for applying screw-on lens filters, another first for Polaroid cameras.

Using the I-2 with the Polaroid app allows you to get under the hood and exploit the camera's fullest capabilities. All the camera's manual controls are visible and manageable through the app, which can also act as a shutter trigger. The app also makes the self-timer available to all modes and opens the multi-exposure mode to full manual control. The app, which connects to the camera via Bluetooth, also enables firmware updates.
