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!

[@divyam6958]

good job, I did the same.

[@domenik8339]

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.

[@Wesbert]

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

[@nomeatbag]

Can't someone just tape it over?

[@domenik8339]

@@nomeatbag Definitely yes but it just seems like an oversight to have to do that on a "premium" camera.

[@mmwkoh]

My instax 40 flash does not work. Will try a new battery to see if that fixes the issue

[@CrazyFaceChico]

@@mmwkohdid that fix the problem? I have the same issue.

[@kbstabs5982]

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.

[@theshroudedghost8288]

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.

[@briansmith3011]

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

[@eloquentleigh5275]

I just received this one for my birthday. I think I'm just thrilled to having something that is not digital. Thank you for the tips

[@sarahhauser]

thanks so much for this video! just got this camera, and I knew I needed more than the minimal info in the manual, you explain everything so clearly and well!

[@yodig5534]

Would you recommend this camera? Also how much did you pay?

[@sarahhauser]

I received the camera as a gift. So far I am enjoying using it- it is simple to use and the color photos have an interesting 70s look to them.

[@angellkk]

Can u keep the film inside the camera if u don't wanna use it immediately??

[@DeanRowntree]

@@angellkk Yeah if you don't use all 10 shots immediately it stays in the camera just fine. Don't try to take it out after the plastic cover from the film pack is ejected otherwise the whole pack of film will be ruined.

[@murrd0g]

I’ve got the Mini 40 and had no idea to pull on the lens for the selfie mode. Thank you!

[@Jesuisanar]

Pull harder it should work

[@ldca1503]

Glad you're back! Excellent video, as always 🥰

[@FloridaChas]

[@yodig5534]

Would you recommend this camera in 2022 or something else? Thank you.

[@NerdAdventurer85]

I just ordered one of these ( and 2 packs of 20 shots). I love the Vintagey look, and i remember how much fun i had with my old Polaroid One. 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. 😂

[@liastorm795]

Hi! I tried my first picture with Instax 40 and the film turned out completely white nothing developed. I tried it taking a picture looking outside my window in the early morning. Do you know what went wrong here?

[@dannaangela4641]

i watched the instax how to vid of this from their channel, really didn't help me at all. it was more like an advertisement than of a how to video 😕 really glad to have found this. I just bought this camera last week

[@lifeismusicparnadonkers]

Is this a good camera for a biginner? Or do i need another model of the fujifilm instax mini? I don,t wanna buy a camera that i am not happy whit😊

[@user-ey3hn6rb5r]

What about the other film with that white and green box can we use it on instax mini 14

[@anthoniomontana2396]

I have the mini 40 and I'm having an issue with it not ejecting any photos? Any tips on how to fix it?

[@elianafrisca]

Can you make this kind video about instax mini evo ?

[@RGld-jg8rs]

my trick is to cover the flash bulb with my hand or some duck tape, essential to cover the flash when taking a photo through a window

[@camilleavellana1909]

Mine is only working when in selfie mode. Whenever I try taking pictures of something, it doesnt work. What do you think is the problem? Im starting to panic & get sad bcos of it. Hope you could help me. Thank you.

[@paulg7002]

Is it possible to black tape or cover the flash when you don't t want it?

[@DeanRowntree]

I tried to cover the flash with my finger against a backlit subject and it gave a very dark sillhouette. I was just experimenting, indoors too, so I think it could be possible to get some good results if the ambient lighting conditions were right.

[@Yami000017]

please review the mini evo ❤️

[@ptagma]

Very informative. Thanks.

[@lifeismusicparnadonkers]

Hello Logan. How are you? Can i give you a tip? If you turn you,re photo frames you,re photo,s come out whit more colours . I tested it that today and the photo,s have way more colours

[@itsyournurseiya]

Im thinking between SQ6 and mini 40 pls help

[@kjat1011]

Pls do Instax mini 40 vs Instax wide 300

[@Realshana1]

What’s the best light to take photos with this camera in? I took some of my girlfriend on New Years and it was a little dark , the photo just came out black

[@sleepycattotv]

yes!! this is my problem!!

[@Jeffbuckley420]

Hey! My camera I got 6 months ago has started flashing fast and orange, I’ve changed my battery’s and will not take a picture. I’m starting to panic please help me!!

[@r0cky000]

My question is what’s the mirror on the side of the lense? And also what happens if you cover the light the flash comes from🤔 Edit: never mind I’m now seeing the part of the video where they explain the mirror lol

[@alecbuxton7634]

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

[@JaysLifee]

Hello. What instant camera can i get that prints but also saves the pictures incase i want to print them at lets say walgreens?

[@jyor543]

Instax mini EVO

[@karlmagos7338]

How about if im not using the camera for some time, should i remove the film cartridge?

[@dancingfreakalicious]

No

[@dancingfreakalicious]

Once you put the film inside the camera, don’t take it off unless the number shows 0. Or else you are going to lose the whole film

[@dani-hc9ch]

PLSSS DO THE INSTAX MINI EVO

[@terrancem7804]

I just bought this today and I tried what she did and I cannot get it out of selfie mode

[@7andearth76]

I bought mine a bit ago and wasn’t happy with the picture quality, pictures are over exposed. I haven’t seen this as an issue in other videos or “comments”. What am I doing incorrectly?

[@lifeismusicparnadonkers]

Hello Logan. How are you doing? I bought my camera today at my local Electronic store. It was 90,99 and i bought 100 films🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 just kidding. I bought 2 sets of 10 but i run out of them so fast i,ll go buy new one,s tommorrow wen i go on my bike ride or hike whit my camera 👍🏾👋🏾😁🥰 love my fujifilm mini 40 camera and i love this review

[@krishlabiaga]

How to clean black spots in instax mini 40?

[@olivert.7192]

So lets say i put a pack of 10 in my camera, should I use up all 10 at once or can I keep them loaded?

[@sleepycattotv]

you can keep them loaded!

[@herecomesjessan]

Who else smiled when she took a selfie behind her light? Haha

[@johnbennett426]

Could anyone tell me why my light is blinking orange with brand new batteries and new film

[@RimantePak]

I had it few months ago and had no idea it has a selfie mode xD

[@divyam6958]

show more sample photos like landscape, outside, trees, flowers, pets, buildings etc.

[@cahmzhere7963]

I have a mini 40. But my question is, is there are big difference when u shoot a selfie when SELFIE MODE is ON and when it’s OFF? 😅 I mean for me I don’t see anything. When it’s on, it just crops a bit? 😅

[@pamnguyen4352]

I don't see a difference either haha

[@Sabrinainlovee]

When I make a selfie the picture is to light what can I do ?? Not so near my face??

[@artemedutech]

Hey, have you solved the problem with too light selfie?

[@miceldevinaa7725]

Hi! I just bought this instax and after used it couple times, my camera starts blinking (orange light).. first was normal until I replace the film with the new one (already zero) 😢 I've following the video tips for my problem (change the batteries, wiggle the lens, etc) but it still blinking 😭😭😭 can anyone help? 🤧🤧

[@lifeismusicparnadonkers]

Hello hum Logan was it? 😅 i don,t remeber you,re name😅 sorry for that.😅 Are the photo,s good from the fujifilm instax mini 40 black?😊 i love the retro disigne of the camera. I love it, i want 1. On amazone its 88,95 camera only. The bundle i coudnt find on amazone but i found on B en H photo video and audio for 109 dollars 😊👋🏾👍🏾 imlove this revieuw i don,t know if i am gonna buy yhe bundle or the camera alone cause my store sells the films but not this instax mini 40 camera from fujifilm. They sell the 11 but not these. 😊so i can get the films for the camera at my store

[@safstark1696]

half of my picture comes out pure black, do you think this is a defect on the camera or did i just use a bad batch of the film?

[@barbarapinna2011]

It is probably the film

[@sitcomtv5325]

Just got this for my birthday.. I inserted battery and it won't stop blinking.. Don't know why

[@nadabalacenkova7991]

what kind of batteries it is please

[@walkiria8883]

2 x AA

[@dannymartinez5651]

Mine won’t turn on even with brand new batteries. I’ve put them on right and have contact.

[@lifeismusicparnadonkers]

I don't like that the instax mini 40 isnt in stores in the netherlands 😭 i can only buy this camera online on amazone for 88,95. Whitout any film

[@Idkbutcooliguess]

I guess if you didn't want the flash you could put tape over it or cover it with your finger.

[@Jeff520hk]

Can I turn off the flesh light ？

[@jyor543]

Wrong type of light 😂

[@bananameat5147]

Maybe I just don't know anything about cameras, but can't you just put tape on the flash?

[@CrazyFaceChico]

My orange light turns on but there’s no flash and all my photos come out pure black or white. Anyone know a fix?

[@Xcobar69]

Same problem do u already fix it

[@DeadliestEvil]

just saved me $30 lol Im just gonna get the other model.

[@wymjulian8994]

so what if I was to just cover the flash with something?🤣

[@GiantParfait]

You'd have to experiment with it, as the shots could be blurry, unfocused, or underexposed. That being said some people like to stick colored plastic, tap, tissue, to get softer or creative effects

[@JEEXPRESS]

Puri video dekhne ke bad bhi Mai abhi tak samjh nhi paya hu ki ye ladka hai ya ladki.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 For those who don't know Hindi :- Despite watching the complete video I am not able to understand whether he/she is a boy or a girl 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
