Specifications & Features

Fujifilm INSTAX Mini Instant Film

The INSTAX Mini 12 uses Fujifilm INSTAX Mini Instant Film.

Each standard film pack contains 10 exposures.

Film specifications include:

• Film Size: 86 × 54mm
• Picture Size: 62 × 46mm
• Standard Pack: 10 Exposures

The resulting physical print is approximately the size of a credit card, making INSTAX Mini photographs easy to carry, display, collect and share.

INSTAX Mini film is sold separately.

60mm f/12.7 Lens

The Mini 12 features a 60mm f/12.7 lens constructed using two components and two elements.

Its shooting range extends from approximately:

0.3m to Infinity

For subjects between approximately 0.3m and 0.5m, Fujifilm recommends using the dedicated Close-Up Mode.

Automatic Exposure

The INSTAX Mini 12 automatically adjusts exposure according to ambient lighting.

There is no need to manually configure aperture, shutter speed or ISO settings for normal photography.

This makes it easy to move between indoor and outdoor environments while allowing the camera to handle exposure automatically.

Automatic Flash Adjustment

The built-in flash uses automatic light adjustment.

The Mini 12 evaluates the lighting conditions and automatically controls flash brightness to help illuminate the subject appropriately.

Its effective flash range is approximately:

0.3m to 2.2m

Close-Up Mode

Close-Up Mode is designed for photographing subjects between approximately:

0.3m and 0.5m

It is particularly useful for:

• Selfies
• Close portraits
• Food
• Flowers
• Small objects
• Creative detail shots

Activating Close-Up Mode is simple: turn the lens once to power on the camera, then twist it again to the Close-Up position.

Parallax Correction

The INSTAX Mini 12 incorporates parallax correction in Close-Up Mode.

With an optical viewfinder, the viewfinder and camera lens observe the subject from slightly different positions. This difference becomes more noticeable when photographing subjects at close range.

The Mini 12 compensates for this when Close-Up Mode is activated, helping users position close subjects more accurately in the resulting photograph.

Built-In Selfie Mirror

A small selfie mirror beside the lens makes it easier to compose self-portraits.

Simply activate Close-Up Mode, look into the mirror to check your framing and press the shutter button.

Automatic flash adjustment continues to operate during close-up photography.

Real Image Viewfinder

The Mini 12 features a 0.37× real image viewfinder with a target spot.

When Close-Up Mode is activated, the viewfinder uses its parallax correction function to improve close-range composition.

Programmed Electronic Shutter

The INSTAX Mini 12 uses a programmed electronic shutter operating from:

1/2 second to 1/250 second

The camera automatically chooses an appropriate shutter speed according to the surrounding lighting conditions.

Slow Synchronization for Low Light

In darker environments, the Mini 12 can use slow synchronization to balance the flash with available ambient light.

This automatic system helps simplify indoor and low-light instant photography.

Constant-Firing Flash

The Mini 12's flash fires automatically with light-output adjustment.

Flash specifications include:

• Effective Range: Approx. 0.3m to 2.2m
• Recycle Time: 7 Seconds or Less with Fresh Batteries
• Light Adjustment: Automatic

The camera is designed to handle flash operation automatically rather than requiring manual flash settings.

Automatic Film Ejection

Once a photograph has been taken, the exposed sheet is automatically ejected from the top of the camera.

The image then gradually appears on the INSTAX film.

Approx. 90-Second Development

INSTAX Mini photographs develop in approximately 90 seconds.

Development speed varies according to ambient temperature.

Users should allow the photograph to develop naturally after it leaves the camera.

Film Counter

The INSTAX Mini 12 includes a film counter that displays the number of exposures remaining in the loaded film pack.

This makes it easy to know when the film cartridge is nearly empty.

Film Pack Confirmation Window

A rear film pack confirmation window allows users to check whether a film cartridge is installed.

The film compartment should not be opened until the pack has been used because doing so can expose the remaining sheets.

Two AA Alkaline Batteries

The INSTAX Mini 12 uses:

2 × AA LR6 Alkaline Batteries

This eliminates the need for a dedicated rechargeable camera battery.

When the batteries are depleted, they can simply be replaced with another pair of compatible AA alkaline batteries.

Approx. 100 Photos Per Battery Set

Fujifilm rates a fresh pair of AA alkaline batteries for approximately 10 INSTAX Mini film packs under its specified conditions.

With 10 exposures in each pack, this represents approximately:

100 photographs

Actual battery life varies according to usage conditions and battery performance.

Automatic Power Off

The camera automatically switches itself off after approximately five minutes of inactivity.

This helps prevent unnecessary battery drain.

Compact & Lightweight Design

The INSTAX Mini 12 measures approximately:

104 × 66.6 × 122mm

It weighs approximately:

306g

The stated weight excludes batteries, film and strap.

Its compact construction makes the Mini 12 convenient for:

• Holidays
• Parties
• Weddings
• Family gatherings

• Blossom Pink
• Mint Green

• Lilac Purple
• Pastel Blue

Colour selection can vary by market and stock.

INSTAX UP! App Compatibility
