The One Step Flash was the first model in the second wave of Polaroid's 600-series. It added an integral flash to the basic design of the square-cornered Polaroid OneStep 600. Initially, there was no close-up lens. The typical slider for darken/lighten exposure correction (Polaroid's Light Management System) is present.
