Electronic flash
Your camera was designed to use
FlashBars and with a FlashBar it will
produce weil exposed pictures over
the full flash range from about 10 in.
to 20
ft.
Because of the special electronic
circuitry in SONAR OneStep cameras,
an electronic flash unit must have
matching electronic characteristics
in order to give good picture results
with this camera.
As of August, 1978, such electronic
lIash units were not available.
However, it is expected
that units
designed to give excellent results
with SONAR OneStep cameras (over
a shorter flash range) wi Il be mar-
keted in the near future.
Polaroid Customer Service will
have a
1
ist of electron ic flash un its
designed to work with SONAR One-
Step cameras and you can get this
information by calling toll free (see
page 31).
Electronic flash units other than
those listed by Customer Service
may not give consistently
good
results and may cause SONAR
OneStep cameras to malfunction.
There is a general rule that applies
to any electronic
flash unit. If you get
poor picture results with it, try a
FlashBar. If you get good p ictures
with a FlashBar, but not with elec-
tronic flash, the cause of the problem
is the electronic flash, not the camera
orthe film.
