So Polaroid designed a unique new photographic system (Sun 600 series cameras) that makes it possible to take great pictures any time - in any light. Under the direction of a tiny electronic computer, the system - a camera with a built-in electronic flash and Polaroid 600 film - measures light with just the right amount of flash to create an ideal photographic light for taking beautiful pictures - outdoors and indoors. In addition, the Model 660 AutoFocus camera has an automatic focusing system which consists of a fixed front lens and an internal rotating disk with four lenses. Using sound waves to measure the distance between the camera lens and your subject, the computer selects the correct lens that will put your subject in sharp focus. For the first time, the high-energy battery built into every film pack powers both the camera and the electronic flash, which means you need never purchase other batteries. Polaroid 600 color film - the most light-sensitive instant color film made - was developed just for this camera system. Other Polaroid films will not fit into or work with this camera. 4
