03 · What stands out
Prints in seconds
Ejects in about 5 seconds and develops in about 90 seconds on instax mini film.
The INSTAX mini 12 is Fujifilm's easy instant camera. Twist the lens to turn it on, twist further for close-up mode, then press the shutter. The camera sets shutter speed and flash for the light around you, so there are no settings to learn. It suits kids, teens, parties, trips and anyone who wants a real print in hand.
It uses INSTAX mini film, sold separately. Each print is 86 x 54 mm with a 62 x 46 mm picture, ejects in about five seconds and develops in about 90 seconds. Close-up mode covers 0.3 to 0.5 m (about 12 to 19 in) and shifts the viewfinder to fix parallax, so close shots land where you aimed. A small mirror next to the lens helps you frame selfies. The 60mm f/12.7 lens, a shutter from 1/2 to 1/250 sec and an always-on flash with a 0.3 to 2.2 m range keep things simple.
The photos show one color. Ask us which color is in the store today.
Two AA alkaline batteries power it, and Fujifilm rates a fresh set at about 10 packs of film. The box includes the camera, a hand strap and two AA batteries; film is not included. The camera weighs 306 g (10.8 oz) without batteries, strap and film. See every instant camera we carry.
