== Polaroid instant movie cameras == {{Main|Polavision}} Polaroid also invented and manufactured an instant movie camera system called [[Polavision]]. The kit included a camera, film, and a movie viewer. When the movie was shot, it would be taken out of the camera and then inserted into the viewer for development, then viewed after development. This format was close to [[Super 8 mm film]]. Polavision film was different from normal film in that it was an additive film, mixing the primary colors (red, green, blue) to form the color image. The biggest disadvantage of the Polavision system was the low [[film speed]] ([[ASA (film speed)|ASA]] 40),{{citation needed|date=May 2021}} which resulted in having to use very bright lights when taking the movie, as well as requiring a special player to view the developed movie. It also lacked audio capability. Because of this, and combined with the advent of [[VHS]] video recorders, Polavision had a short history.
