Ultimate Guide to the Fujifilm Instax Mini 7, 7s, 7+ and SE- How to use, review and comparison

[@GoneWithFilm]

A few months after this video was published, Fujifilm released the Instax Mini SE. It's basically the same as the Mini 7+, it just has a different, more modern and boxy look. All functions and features are the same.

I just bought a 7+ bundle set at Walmart for $48 today! I appreciate your in-depth and comprehensive review!

[@prernareddy]

Is it worth buying I’m thinking to gift a friend

[@odaivilaxom]

[@dawnSK]

I bought one of these at a thrift store, thank you for your in depth review! :)

I have the instax mini SE and a Polaroid. Which is fun cause I can take photos with a different quality and size. If I want a bigger pic I take my Polaroid. Best duo 📷

amazing video, thank you!

[@bgoesbananas]

My 7s only takes black photos. I’ve tried every setting and I only get black film printed. I have alkaline batteries in it as well

[@GoneWithFilm]

Might be an issue with the shutter. Check if there's something blocking it and if it's actually opening. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGPZcomQr5d4raM for how to test.

Hi, first time user here, do i need to install the film first before I turn it on?

[@GoneWithFilm]

yeah it's better to put in the film with the camera turned off.

[@oxoelfoxo]

comprehensive review, thanks!

[@08yanda]

I have a question po. Kahit po ba walang film na laman yung instax mini 7s, iilaw pa rin po ba yung power indicator?

[@GoneWithFilm]

Yes, iilaw pa rin dapat. Gagana yung lahat ng function kahit wala film.

I got mine at a thrift store but confuse if it works or not.i placed a battery to test if it works but didn't see any lights on or i have to put a film 1st before it turns on?

[@GoneWithFilm]

It should work without film. Check the battery contacts and compartment for battery residue-old instax cameras were often left with batteries inside and corroded terminals are common.

[@syuaibahmad7323]

Does heavy duty AA batteries have an effect on the camera?

[@GoneWithFilm]

Yes, Heavy duty batteries drop in voltage easily, the camera needs 6v total, heavy duty batteries quickly drop to 4-5 volts just after a film pack or two. That's why the manual recommends alkalines.

[@destanyroman9691]

What if the lights don’t stop blinking ?

[@GoneWithFilm]

Check the battery and battery terminals

[@Oliver-sx8sh]

Thank you 🙏

Thanks S

[@zuuemudz]

Wait, so whats mini SE? This versions are very confusing

[@GoneWithFilm]

The SE is the basically the same camera as the Mini 7+, it's just in a different plastic casing.

[@1GEJANE1959]

WHERE IS THE MODEL NUMBER???

[@GoneWithFilm]

The original Mini 7 has the model in front, although some versions or colors don't have any model name or number at all. The Mini 7s has the model name on the top plate. The Mini 7+ has the name in front. Also, all the model names and numbers are painted on so if a camera has been well used, the number may not be visible or be rubbed off.

[@gray_girl]

Didn’t see anything in the video about the instax SE…

[@GoneWithFilm]

@@gray_girl The SE is basically just a reskinned Instax mini 7+. They work in the same way.
