Instax Mini 12: The magic of instant printing

There are days and moments that are unforgettable, and we want to preserve them, even if only in photographic form. Digital cameras capture important moments in natural colors and even instantly print them. Fujifilm cameras are experts in this field and are in high demand. They combine technology with subtle human emotions: the best moments become tangible in a matter of seconds. Below, we'll talk about using one of the most popular models—the Instax Mini 12.

The Fujifilm Instax 12 is an instant-print camera. It has three shooting modes: standard, self-portrait, and macro. Switching between shooting modes is accomplished by rotating the lens ring. The Instax Mini 12 is available in several color options.

What does the instax mini 12 come with?

The camera comes with a wrist strap and two AA batteries. The wrist strap ensures stable and precise shooting and improves camera usability. Fujifilm recommends purchasing Instax Mini 12 film cartridges directly from the manufacturer. Mini 12 film cartridges should be labeled as mini-series cartridges, as different types of photo paper have different sizes.

How does the Instax Mini 12 work?

• Insert the film into the camera.
• Insert the batteries and turn on the camera.
• Take a test shot to prepare the cartridge for shooting.
• Gently grasp the film by the edge and remove it from the camera (shooting with the Instax Mini 12 takes 90 seconds. Printing takes approximately 15 seconds).

After shooting, turn off the camera to conserve battery power. You can turn off the Instax Mini 12 by setting the lens ring to the "Off" position. However, the Instax Mini 12 has an automatic power-off feature.

Do not open the back of the camera while film is in it. Otherwise, light will fall on the photo paper and ruin it.

Charging the Camera

The Instax Mini 12 requires two standard AA alkaline batteries. You can use any brand of high-quality lithium batteries. When the Instax Mini 12's battery is low, the battery indicator on the camera's screen will turn red. Once fully charged, the Polaroid Instax 12's screen will show a full charge indicator. AA batteries last for approximately 100 photos.

Instax Mini 12 film cartridges should be stored in a cool, dry place. Use the film as soon as possible after inserting it into the camera. Avoid exposing the film to X-rays, such as those found during airport baggage checks, or bright light.

How to transfer photos from Instax Mini 12 to phone?

You can connect the Instax mini 12 to your smartphone for photo editing: download the free "instax™ Up" app and scan photos with your smartphone. Scan Instax™ photos of any size and save them in digital format.
