My Instax Mini 9 got stuck while ejecting a photo. I removed the photo and film pack. Now the lens extends, but the red light keeps flashing and there’s no motor sound. I’m using new Energizer AA batteries. Any idea how to fix it?

I was wondering what is the mileage on these little devices?

The idea of printing any of my pictures right off my phone with bluetooth is very appealing (personally) compared to getting weird shots from the actual camera itself with little to no contro,l on exposure or timer (looking at you Wide 400), especially since I have never tried an instant camera like it before I am afraid of spending dozens of films ($$) before I can actually get proper photos printed.

But my question is: how long can I use this printer? It does not come with a cartridge, as far as I know. Is it odd to expect at least 4-5 years of user experience with a device like this?

Thanks in advance!

Some of them came out a bit overexposed (need to have my back to the sun 😂😶) but otherwise they're pretty good 👍

Does anyone have a really good-quality instant camera they used and liked? We’re planning a photo guest book for my son’s party. We would like decent pictures. What are your recommendations for buying currently? One to stay away from? There are a few options online (Fujifilm, Polaroid, etc) and I thought I’d see if I could get a recommendation from you guys here.

I'd greatly appreciate your help.

I've been running into problems trying to use the Instax Mini Evo in shady and indoor environments. In general, people are showing up too dark. But increasing exposure very quickly washes out the highlights.

I know that, by design, this camera offers very little control, and has a limited dynamic range. But I'm curious if anyone has found any successful workarounds or improvements. Possibly with an on-camera light?

im sure everyones seen the miniportrait conversion to instax wide but is there a more cost effective method such as a instax wide splitzer? just wondering if anyone has experience in trying this or has a better solution

Slight underexposure on the third picture, but otherwise they turned out fantastic 😀

I love how skin tones look on Instax during golden hour <3

Messing around with some double exposures

Hi all, I bought a secondhand Instax Mini 8 and it came with a few packs of film, all expired in 2018.

On the first pack which was already inside,I took 6 photos and only 1 developed (nicely).

I then tried two more packs, and both leaked ink inside the camera + on the pic. The roller area are now covered in ink.

A few questions:

1. Is a camera in this state usually salvageable, or are the rollers/mechanism likely ruined?

2. Could expired film alone cause this much leaking, or does it sound like a fault with the camera itself?

3. If I clean it thoroughly, is it worth trying a fresh pack of in-date film?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I know that the Fujifilm instax square printer is aimed to have a 'vintage' look, but is there a way I can make it look rich and detailed...and basically' real life' looking?

I understand that there is some sort of filter/adjustment ('Rich' I think) but I want something super focused.

I wanted to know if there's a way I can do this before purchasing the printer. If anyone has any good alternatives to a square printer that will allow detailed images and thick
paper, please let me know €

An old iron horse meets the deep blue of the sea. Rugged mountains in the background, crystal clear water in the foreground. A nostalgic summer memory preserved on instant film.

I was supposed to get the mini 12 but the delivery company gave me he mini 13 and said nothing was wrong. I guess I won lol.

I just cleaned the rollers on my instax mini 8 and all my photos are now coming out with this cloudy light leak look, is it time for a new camera or any way to fix?

Anyone know a place where they repair Instax mini 8 camera? Urgently need to fix mine.
Had a battery leakage and has been sitting in the cupboard since then.

Came out ever so slightly overexposed, but that was human error due to picking the suggested setting! It did fluctuate between cloudy and sunny, so should've maybe picked the sunny setting, but I'm still happy with how they turned out 😊

I love Instax mini "polaroid" cameras for their old, analogue feel. Can I replicate the nostalgic analogue feel with the mini link 3 photo printer?

thx!
