Instax Mini 8 Camera - Pink

Product Information

The Instax Mini 11’s user experience is so incredibly simple that it’s difficult to fault, particularly for beginners. But in certain situations, you can choose to set the brightness yourself if you want a brighter or darker outcome.

Once you have picked out your favorite Instax Mini color, it’s worth looking at a matching protective case and photo album for all those film prints. Its ease of use means that pretty much anyone can get up and running within seconds, making it a great option for social situations and kids. The top left corner houses the optical viewfinder, the flash and the shutter button with optional interchangeable rubber buttons. This lens provides a better focal length for selfies and also gives you awesome creative opportunities to take macros of cool objects and patterns.It is, however, commendably robust feeling despite this, especially with batteries and film pack locked and loaded. Loading the film packs is a cinch; all the user has to do is marry up the yellow line stamped on the pack with a continuation of said line in the ‘belly’ of the camera itself.

This isn’t in any way a criticism, obviously, as the charm here rests in those ‘low fi’ images and the camera’s low-tech operation, making it great for kids in particular who will love having instant pictures of fun times with their friends to stick in an album or diary. For those looking for more advanced features, you’d be better off considering the Instax Mini 70 or Mini 90 Neo Classic. In early 2017 Fujifilm quietly announced the successor to the Mini 8 – the new and improved Instax Mini 9.

The manual exposure setting isn't ideal for photographers used to fully automatic photography, but it only takes a second to set.Turn the camera on and press the shutter button to eject the film cover (exposure counter will change from “S” to “10”) from the camera. As with any camera of its ilk, it’s a case of taking an image, seeing what has worked or what hasn’t, and taking a second shot to try and improve on the first, perhaps by re-framing or by moving into a spot where there is better light. There are strap mounting points on each side, along with the AA battery compartment, while a slot on the top ejects the exposed instant prints.
