Introduction
The Polaroid Miniportrait/Studio Express
Cameras are designed to meet a variety of
photo-identification needs. There are two
different camera models. The Model 403
produces four portraits on each sheet of
Polaroid 31/4 x 41/4 in. (8.5 x 10.8 cm)
instant pack film; the Model 203 produces
two portraits on each sheet.
The basic operation is the same for both
models; the Model 403 is featured here.
The Model 203 is shown wherever there
are important differences in operation.
• Portrait combinations: Model 403
produces 4 identical portraits, 2 pairs of
identical portraits or 4 different portraits;
Model 203 produces either 2 identical or
2 different portraits.
• Available films: Color prints, black &
white prints or black & white prints with
usable negatives.
• Built-in electronic flash unit; the camera
also can be used with other types of
lighting.
• Sonar rangefinder, to ensure that the
camera is at the correct distance for
sharp focus and correct image size.

the film holder.
