Rieibi Mini EVO Case - Retro PU Leather Protective Case for Fuji Mini EVO Instant Camera - Removable Case with Adjustable Shoulder Strap - Black

Product Information

Also at the bottom of the Fuji Instax Mini Evo, alongside the card slot, is a micro USB port, which you can use to charge up the camera. The flash on the front of the camera will light up to let you know it’s charging, switching off when it’s complete. There's also a factory-reset button in the same compartment.. The main menu features a number of different settings which you can change, including face detection, switching the AF illuminator on or off (you might wish to switch it off if you’re trying to shoot somewhere discreetly), print settings, bluetooth settings, date and time and so on. The mini Evo creates the highest-ever quality instax instant prints to date, printing at 600 dpi when printed directly from the camera. Instax printing is never about superb image quality, but rather the fun and quirky aspect of printing out your shots on instant film. Some Instax cameras are analogue, but one of the big benefits of using the Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo’s digital camera is that you can preview your shots before printing them - so you don’t accidentally print out a dud and waste precious film.

You’ll also find the On/Off power switch at the lower-left corner of the front of the camera., a slightly odd position that again makes more sense when shooting in portrait rather than landscape mode. The good news is that you can use the Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo as a printer, as well as a camera. That means that in theory you could completely ignore the camera aspect and use the device to print much better photos from your smartphone, or even dedicated camera. Sample Images Last but not least, we have the Brimford case. It’s a not full case like the ones above. Rather, it’s a half-case. But the good news is that it protects the camera body from scratches and scuff marks. You also get a leather strap along with the case. Announced in November 2021, the Instax Mini Evo is the latest hybrid instant camera from Fujifilm, sporting a classic, vintage retro design that recalls old-fashioned cameras from yesteryear. We've no real idea why this limitation exists, and hope that Fuji fix it in a future firmware upgrade. Until then you can work around it by copying the images from the built-in memory onto a memory card, or preferably by recording images to a microSD card and transferring them from that to another device, neither of which are as convenient.

Conclusion

You can choose to ignore this and shoot in landscape orientation if you prefer, but the text on the camera will be the “correct” way up only when holding the Mini Evo in the portrait orientation. From the app you can perform a number of useful functions, including taking remote control of the camera (useful for selfies and group shots).

It's surrounded by a circular lens dial which is used to cycle through the 10 different lens effects - Normal, Vignette, Soft Focus, Blur, Fisheye, Colour Shift, Light Leak, Mirror, Double Exposure, and Half-frame. When you’re ready to print one of your shots, pull the delightfully retro Print lever on top of the camera - sure, the same thing could have been achieved with a simple button, but where's the fun in that?! It's best to think of the Mini Evo's camera as a great way to see your images before you print - at least you won’t waste that expensive film with under/over exposed photos, blurred shots or those that have been framed poorly - with the added benefit of being able to share them on social media (although not that easily as it turns out). Alternatively, for kids or anybody without a smartphone or dedicated camera, it might also be appealing. Pressing the up and down keys activates the digital zoom, while the left and right keys toggle between exposure compensation, self-timer, flash, macro (the closest focus distance is 10cm when set to the macro mode) and white balance settings.

Your Comments

On the bottom of the Instax Mini Evo is a hidden slot for inserting a microSD memory card. The Mini Evo comes with an inbuilt memory which can store approximately 45 images, while up to 850 images can be stored per 1GB of memory on a Micro SD card - so it’s well worth investing in one of those unless you want to frequently delete your images.
