    📖 The Fuji Instax Mini 40 is Fujifilm's latest Instax Mini film camera. It shoots Instax mini film and is available in a premium black and silver, retro style finish. The Instax Mini 40 features full automatic shooting (no longer necessary to select from different lighting modes), and it also has a selfie mode with a built-in selfie mirror. The camera comes with a wrist strap and batteries. It does NOT come with film, so make sure you grab some!
    📍 You'll find links to the cameras and film below:

    A tip I use to negate the auto flash, is to always keep some pieces of black electrical tape stuck to my camera case. Handy to stick a piece right on the flash when the lighting calls for it. No more washed out photos!

    I really wish they would let you control the flash, choosing whether it's on or off shouldn't be a premium feature in my opinion.

      I’m a fan of this cam but I do agree - took it to a zoo/aquarium and shooting through glass makes it really hard to get a clear image without a massive flash mark - that and I was scared flash would hurt the animals

    I'm an avid photographer with a number of expensive cameras but I also have the Mini 40. I just love the particular quality (or perhaps I should say the lack thereof) of the images that it provides and I use it a lot for family gatherings, like Christmas, to give a small stack of memories. Somehow it captures the moment of the gatherings better than a sharp and far superior photo from an expensive "real" camera can provide.

      Nostalgia is a powerful tool. Photos from instant cameras just have that added nostalgia of childhood, probably because the instant camerasshare a similar quality to the poor quality cameras we had as children.

    One tip, frame your shots extra tight in the viewfinder, as the final exposure is wider than the image in the viewfinder.

Another thing i love about this, is the fact that it looks nice just sitting on your shelf or coffee table. Nice aesthetic in itself. I'm looking forward to just having some goofy fun with this, and maybe find a rustic looking tin to store the snaps in. 😂

    One of the major problems with the instant cameras was guessing the light balance setting before taking the shot although one of the other major improvements is the development time as instant cameras from around the 70s had a development time of around 3 to 4 minutes depending on the model and type of film but instant cameras have always been fun
    Family or party cameras dispite their limitations and various problems which is why that have been around for over 50 years or so
