Disclosure: I received a FUJIFILM Instax Mini 11 camera in order to facilitate this review. All thoughts and opinions are honest and my own.
An update on the cult classic, the FUJIFILM Instax Mini 11 camera includes new and exciting features like automatic exposure, and one-touch selfie mode.
With round corners, soft edges and compact comfortable fit in the hand, the Mini 11 has a sleek look and feel. The on-trend pastel colour pallet give sit a really fun look.
You can also personalise your Mini 11 with either a glow in the dark or jewel button cover.
Doesn’t it just make you want to pick up and start snapping away!
The Mini 11 is super easy to setup and comes with a concise instruction manual to follow for a smooth experience.
Automatic Exposure
With instant photography you generally want to just capture a moment to enjoy right then and there. To take a keepsake with you and continue the joy of the moment.
That enjoyment can be tarnished if the photos are too bright or too dark.
This is where the Mini 11 really excels. It features automatic exposure to help you take better photos, no matter the lightning conditions. The Mini 11 automatically senses the level of ambient light when the shutter button is pressed, making adjustments according to your surroundings.
That means no more precious film wasted trying to figure out which lighting setting will work the best. You get a much better user experience without having to fiddle around with settings.
Just point and click. Done.
My one gripe is that the automatic flash fires every time a photo is taken. It would be nice to have an option to deactivate it for outdoor daytime photos where natural light is sufficient.
Selfie Mode
The Mini 11 features a one-touch selif mode that is engaged by pulling to extend the lens without need for a separate lens attachment.
It also includes a handy selfie mirror buil in next to the lens to help you frame your face for perfect selfies.
