helo ive been having a hard time with my instax mini 11 i have changed it and tried many alkaline AA batteries but it still blinks i also did use the one u used in your video it still doesnt work any advices will be much appreciated thank yoi

[@oliverdoru]

If your batteries are good and still have the flashing, it can be fixed by hitting with one of the batteries quite hard exactly where it says Instax mini 11 about 5 times. Not to break the case, but don't be gentle. There is something stuck behind there from droping it or mishandling the camera. Fixed a bunch like that. It's not a joke but try at own risk. Thank me later.

Hi, I changed my batteries but it's still not working and continues to blink, what should I do next ? Any advice ?

[@matejphoto]

Maybe gentle jiggle the lens a little bit. If that doesn’t work then I am out of ideas.

[@layshaae]

try alkaline batteries

[@xxsunflower1811]

this works! i was so worried that my camera was broken, as I've only taken like 4 pictures, but it was just the batteries! Thank you so much, your a lifesaver!!

[@matejphoto]

Glad I could help!

[@jessicakariuki9312]

Took a gamble with a second-hand camera and it came with this issue. Swapped out the batteries and was back in business! Thank you so much for a straightforward solution.

Fr me too I got them off ebay and was scared I just burnt money 😭

[@mariamalnuaimi8973]

Hi I Am Truly approximately to Cry Right Presently I Have Changed The Batteries in my Instax mini 9and The lights are still flickering I have attempted the leading sorts of batteries they won't work please somebody helps me I am battling.

[@Furiousa96]

So glad this worked. I left my camera alone for a few months and it had this issue, although mine was flashing on start up. I checked the batteries in another device but they didn’t want to work, so I’m not sure why my camera takes issue with these ones specifically.

[@nk-vg7ge]

I feel so anxious when that thing happened to my instax. I thought it's not working anymore. I tried to change new batteries, but still it wont work. Then I saw your vid, I changed it with duracell and it worked! Thank you so much 🙂

[@suncahaya717]

I replaced with another batteries but still didn't worked ,oh no that means my camera is broken

[@ΑνναΒερουτη]

Same thing with mine

[@Cakepop_16]

Thank you SO MUCH!!! I've been scouring the internet for answers, but all this time I've been using rechargable batteries instead of alkaline! You saved my life!!

[@matejphoto]

Glad I could help!

[@rasman007]

I just wanted to save everyone 2:32 mins of your life. Just change the batteries. There you go.

[@matejphoto]

I think the back story is useful since fast blinking lights are usually a camera error. I wonder if I made a 5 second video, how would it do in search, it will probably get buried since youtube wouldn't make any money on it.

[@Iyafregil]

Thank you so much for this, I really thought that I really broke the camera, but all I had to do was change thr batteries. This helped me so much thank you!

[@matejphoto]

Great video, have a rarely used one that sat for a while put some brand new ac Delco batteries had the same problem. Replaced with new energizer ones and camera works great. Lesson learned ac delco batteries SUCK!

[@honeyGg7]

I am having this issue with the camera now. Replacing batteries, on and off, orange light is flashing. I ordered another camera but I still want this one fixed. Would you know who to send it to or how to get ahold of anyone? Thanks so much!

[@KarySchump]

I just saw your video after a quick search. And I was glad to hear your solution. I just pulled my batteries out and put them in again and that also worked, so thanks for your tip!!! I just subscribed to your channel since I saw all your videos on various instant cameras! Looking forward to more!!! Thanks again!!!

I switched like 20 different batteries including Duracell, no luck. Everyone online suggests to just change the batteries and use the alkaline ones, which doesn't help 😔Anyone else? UPD: Fixed it! Got Duracell "Optimum 30x extra life" batteries. Not the usual ones - those won't work. Lost all my hope and didn't expect much but the better batteries help

just got mine today, the first photo was too white, the second kinda blurry, and for the rest the flash doesn't come off and the photos were all black. what could be the problem, any tips to solve this??

[@matejphoto]

For the too white picture: maybe too close to your subject? The the kinda blurry picture: Maybe too close without using the selfie mode? Black pictures: Try to change batteries. Even if your camera is new, it is possible that the ones that came with your camera are lower quality. Check out this video, it has good helpful tips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6jVl5psrb12gc0
