The Polaroid Mio, how could it be otherwise, is an instant camera. It was released by the Polaroid Cooperation in 2001 in time for Christmas. It is believed that the camera was created in cooperation with Fujifilm. Therefore, the Instax Mini films can also be used. This was later followed by the Polaroid 300, another Instax Mini camera under the legendary instant brand.
The Polaroid Mio operates fully automatically, as instant cameras are known to do, and the photographer cannot or does not have to adjust anything. The shutter is automatically controlled and selects the appropriate exposure time between 1/400 second and 1/30 second. The maximum aperture is f12, which is compensated for by the high sensitivity of the film, and is plastic, as is the body of the camera.
The closest focusing distance of the lens is 60 cm. Focusing is manual with a two-stage zone focus system. The Mio has a built-in flash. The camera is powered by two CR2 batteries (eBay / Amazon*).
The Polaroid Mio can still be used with the Instax Mini Film*. There are ten pictures in a film cassette. The size of one picture is approximately the same as a credit card.
