Fujifilm INSTAX Mini 12 Camera - Review and Setup Guide

[@jennadionn9332]

You stated that the numerical counter shows you how many photos you've taken but it actually counts down from 10, so it shows how many shots you have left.

[@jacobbevis6638]

What a strange critique... it means the same thing!

[@JohnnyExtremer]

@@jacobbevis6638 It's not the same thing lol what you are saying is that if it shows 10 that would mean you have taken 10 pictures which would mean you are out of pictures (10 max) What it means is that if there is a 10 it means you have 10 pictures remaining. That is not the same thing.

[@sheloveskailey]

what does "S" mean?

[@perryandrew]

@@sheloveskailey ‘safe’

[@zainebhidoussi1498]

that's what i thought at first ! caus showing you how many pictures are left is a more needed info than how many pictures have you taken.

[@CherylsCreativeWorld33]

I’ve just ordered this camera. Thanks for your clear and helpful review

[@kaz4428]

Thank you for the honest review and letting viewers know what to expect from this camera :)))

[@pennyshaw4915]

Very helpful video. I was given this for my birthday and it honestly had no instructions included. I mean it's kinda self-explanatory if you used to have the old Polaroid God. I love that thing. But I didn't know about the little selfie mirror and all the other tips you gave. Thanks again and hope you have a happy Thanksgiving

[@JiaKelly3]

I’m still rocking mine yellow mini 8 ❤❤❤

[@JahtrickLaylo]

Cool, mine in black

[@kennethnielsen3864]

I my opinion it's a fun toy, but it keeps butter on the bread at fujifilm, and makes them able to make and create the cameras and lenses I love.

[@Battlem0nk]

Isn't over half their imaging dept profits from Instax line alone?

[@kennethnielsen3864]

@@Battlem0nk I think it is more like 70 ore 80%. I think I read that somewhere.

[@KatieKrew6791]

I'm getting it Tomorrow! I'm so excited!

[@anamshaikh9971]

Please upload a video of comparison between mini 12 and evo

[@wittko]

My kid was just asking if he could get this camera so this review is right on time! thnx :)

[@hamid7805]

First time saw your video and must say, excellent explanation.

[@reboundk1ng]

I still have my old instax, and probably will get this new one just for collection

[@markjuliussantos5040]

should I buy it?

[@remyche8768]

Wish I watched he'd this before I impulse bought one for my 9 year old daughter. I was just excited for her to take interest in photography. Wish it saved photos because she's just started blasting and used up the 10 photos within 5 minutes 🤣 and things are expensive. Like a $1 aus per photo if buying the 100 pack.

[@ashikasingh2053]

That was really helpful, just got my hands on this cute instax mini 12 in the colour - Lilac Purple. Thank you for such a vivid informational video, that was helpful for me indeed ! :)

[@Battlem0nk]

Really want a one but with X-T or X-H internals. Show up at photoshoots or events with it.

[@ianroe1076]

While I have absolutely no idea who the audience would be, I would love to see a "pro" Evo that does exactly what the normal Evo does, but it has an incredibly high quality sensor, metal construction, and perhaps real film sims.

[@blutac318]

Cool update. Great video as always!

[@ursala986]

Finally, someone who actually helped!

[@kebmel8668]

You have to screw the aperture out to the close up position to turn it on first for the black thingy to come out before you can take photos,. He didn't mention this.

[@bernard8267]

Hi Chris, thanks for this review, looking at this product, I'm thinking we are still missing a Fuji sport waterproof camera, this a non accessible market for smartphone...

[@ruthjohn9379]

Thank you so much it worked thanks you are a lifesaver I almost broke it thanks ❤❤❤❤❤

[@rae5063]

Thanks I just brought one today . This video helped

[@longphan4691]

Oh hey another one of those...While I ask for is Fuji to let me connect my X-T30II to a Mini Link... and print directly SOOC

[@Magneira]

Well you actually buy this for image quality and color reproduction, since this is real film.

[@MrSilvasandme]

this was very helpful, thanks!

[@YusufSaidCANBAZ]

thank you for such honest review!

[@SophiaAllen-ne8pz]

Thank you really helped me for when I I get one

[@tmanicc]

your videos are awesome bro. Been subscribed for a few years and you've been extremely helpful.

[@gm4sh]

Hi Chris, Thanks for this video. I always watching your video, many thanks for your sharing. Don't quit this channel please. Especially for us, fuji user that still need your tips an tricks. Here I have question and (maybe) video idea for you. I have difficulties in taking group photos. Several times I failed to get a good photo (good focus on each/every face), especially when there are a lot of people and line up to 2 or 3 rows or even more. Would you please share the proper settings or tips n tricks? This maybe little bit technically and specific. Such as exposure triangle (Aperture) and other detailed settings on the camera, especially about focusing. Is it single point or zone or even wide all, should activate eye/face recognition (will overwrite anything) or not, also what about metering, is it spot or multi, or something else. Would you like to share some tips n tricks of that? Pardon my english, I'm from South East Asia Thank you!

[@Canit-]

Hi, not the autor of the video, but this might help. Metering doesn't really matter in this scenario, just don't put spot metering. The thing you may touch is the aperture, and go like 5.6 or 8, maybe even 11 if the light is really good. When you close the aperture, the Depth of Field increase, and more area gonna be in focus.

[@rezarad7252]

I have the 11 one, it is fun.

[@anasilva-xi8xt]

So Great i like The way you explano its really good THANKS ❤❤❤

[@zootmojo]

5:13 - "When you load new film into the camera, as soon as you close back of your camera, take that shot, take out that discarded cover..." The "take that shot" is confusing. Doesn't the cover come out automatically, and then, and only then, do you "take that shot?"

[@ianroe1076]

On their analog cameras (at least, on my Mini 40), you need to press the shutter button after initially loading the cartridge in order to eject the cover. The Instax Evo (the digital one) does automatically eject the cover when you put in the cartridge. Once that black cover has been ejected, you should be 100% good to go and ready to begin using the camera.

[@michelledesilva9571]

Can we share pictures to print from an iPhone to the camera ?

[@WhoIsSerafin]

Oh god, the vertical photo generation!! All the money they make from instant cameras wish they would do something more serious with a one inch sensor like the evo.

[@thestrawberryaniahomegarde7228]

Thank you. This was helpful.

[@Layan.184]

Anyone help me pls ! How many times should I change the battery ?

[@shernadmello9485]

Awesome video, thank you!

[@milesharbord9339]

Lost me at standard aa batteries 😑 thanks for the review though ✌️

[@michael_177]

You'd rather have to charge it all the time? just put some batteries in, and replace them the next year. Edit: For real, you just put the batteries in, and forget about it. They can last for years and hundreds and hundreds of packs of film before running out of battery. We like to keep it analog (or as close to) 😎

[@user-pr7fu5lk8h]

Same ! Absolutely NOT

[@vengenSR]

Great video! Are there any home printers worth checking out? 15x10 for example

[@buyaport]

Canon Selphy would be a good choice (if you mean 15 cm x 10 cm, not inches).

[@vengenSR]

@@buyaport will check that, thanks!

[@judymoodyslifevlogs4341]

I have the instax mini 8 purple one still. Thinking about a photo printer. It would eliminate all those instax cameras all together. I get it…it’s nostalgia to have a camera that prints right from the camera. I need to whip mine back out and use it. It’s not just for the young and teens, even us adults like them to.

[@Brainreaver79]

is it really only nostalgia? if you put them mon the table at a party... everyone can take photos, and have a memory they can put on their freezer, sideboard,.. whatever. without you having to sent everyone all the shots you took with a digital one,.. then have to choose if you want to have a photo.. then go and print it,.. and son on.. sure its not getting you the top of line perfetct 4kHD pictures.. but it gets you fun memories

[@JustinWayoo]

so which is better between Mini 12 and Mini Liplay?

[@caveirarj]

I really don't see the point for an upgrade from previous one. Besides the tiny mirror and "close-up" function, zero news.

[@ianroe1076]

I don't think this is intended as an upgrade from your previous purchase, so much as an improvement to rope in new customers. This model is a little more convenient to use than my Mini 40, but they're pretty much the same thing.

[@zladveleniak]

It'd be better to bring back the ability to print right from camera via their latest instax printers. The fact that only x-s10 is capable of this is frustratiing for all the X-T users

[@cedrajavaid804]

Hello what is the price and when it is going to be available in market?

[@gunturmrudula4478]

Which cam is best … poloroid Now plus it Intex mini 12

[@isurupriyadarshana5899]

excellent job

[@VezVezar]

i think they should do one with X mount.......

[@ALIENdrifter66]

makes no sense, this is supposed to be inexpensive. You can use an X mount camera and connect it to an Instax Printer, that will achieve what you describe

[@user-dx8we8lm3q]

Hi I just got this camera for Christmas but I’ve been noticing a problem and I was wondering if you could give me an answer. I have noticed that I take pictures and sometimes it come out pure white almost as it doesn’t develop and then I retake it and it works but I don’t understand why that happens.

[@d.e.b.5910]

Thanks for posting 👍

[@user-hl9vd2hm4d]

Can I make it a camera without flash or not?

[@sclogse1]

It's overstuffed cartoon look reminds me of the Audrey computer. It tilted up at one corner like something would in the Jetsons. Not enough, really.

[@keshasmith8593]

Best review 😊

[@mihajlopuzovic8777]

What film should I use to put in camera?

[@Mewcaloid]

The regular Instax film just not the square size

[@michaelwest6238]

Just won one of these it the biz😊

[@xiqikxx8967]

If you’re a selfie person, this wouldn’t be for you….if you take a selfie and you end up not liking it, then you just wasted a print….my sister did that, she wanted to take the perfect selfie but didn’t like any of all the prints she was getting and she eventually wasted all 10 prints in that single film cartridge

[@LizasPaperPassion]

Awesome review

[@KeillenDavis]

I just bought one and the lens mechanism feels flimsy, like I would have to pay attention not to accidentally Skip "on" to "selfie/ close up mode." Did you have this issue?

[@erikawilson1154]

Would you recommend it for a 10 year old?

[@Mewcaloid]

Yeah it’s pretty easy to use just push a button and film comes out

[@catherinesutton3498]

my light doesn’t work

[@reshmascreativeworld9394]

Does the film come with the box or do u have to buy it separately ?

[@xixiloves]

seperate

Thank you

@@reshmascreativeworld9394 no problem :)

[@user-ce1cu5my4j]

bruh they still can't do anything close to Mini 90 without being digital like EVO. It's just MINI 8 all around again

[@alexarantes2981]

Adorei muito bom.

[@djordjevicangela09]

Thank youuuu

[@TheShamru]

Does it have a set - timer fuction?

[@Mewcaloid]

No but the mini 90 does

[@nonono1051]

Is it worth it? Im planning to buy it 🥹

[@mariacarafajardo6976]

I have an Instax Mini 12 and I'm not sure why all of my pictures are black and white, so I thought it was simply a black and white image.

[@BlackRibbonTV]

Was it mono film? Has the film gone out of date

[@KongGig]

Looks great :)

[@sucio721]

Where did you get that ED 209 ?!?!!!

[@Ronythethird]

paper costs a fortune

[@krystalmae5557]

Can you use regular paper if the film is empty?

[@acaglumac]

No you can't

[@jamesm9560]

But was it FUN?

[@UnlimitedUtopia]

looks like a passport photo

[@pyroMaximilian]

I usually like your videos, but I'm sorry to say that this video doesn't qualify as either a review or a setup guide. You should also take a minute to understand what parallax correction means before you confuse your viewers with claims of magically centered selfies.

[@abbas431]

how is this a mini camera?
