Autofocus

Polaroid Go: fixed focus distance

Due to the compact size of the Polaroid Go, there's no room for an autofocus system. The lens of the Polaroid Go has a fixed focus distance, which means you'll have to keep a distance between you and the object. The camera has a short focal distance of 50cm. If you're too close when taking the photo, the object will become blurry. Due to this, it's not possible to take macro photos.

Polaroid Now: 2 modes for far away and up close

The Polaroid Now is the first instant camera with autofocus. The autofocus works with 2 lenses. Thanks to this, the camera can easily focus both on objects up close and far away. The camera chooses the right lens automatically, which allows you to focus on determining the frame. Thanks to this autofocus system, you can take sharper photos.

Polaroid Now+: 2 modes for far away and up close
