How to use

Insert two AA batteries and load Instax Mini film according to the film pack instructions. Turn on the camera, frame your subject using the built-in viewfinder, and press the shutter to take a photo. The camera applies flash automatically within its effective range; after exposure the print will be ejected and develop over several minutes. Follow the film manufacturer’s guidance for storage and handling to ensure optimal print results.

Recommendations

For best results, use fresh Instax Mini film and replace AA batteries when flash output or ejection speed decreases. Keep prints away from direct sunlight and high humidity during development, and allow images to develop on a flat surface without touching the surface of the exposed print.
