Product Information

And even then, the metering is measured from the body of the camera, not from the lens, so can sometimes be thrown off by high contrast scenes. Outdoor locations with lots of shadow would still suggest the “Very Sunny” setting, leading to underexposed shots if you simply followed instructions. This is pretty much guaranteed to catch out any first time Instant photographers. Also, make sure to load the batteries in the correct orientation by matching the “+” and “-” symbols on the batteries to those on the camera. See this article more more information about how to load batteries into the Instax Mini 9 .

Like its predecessor, this instant camera is equipped with a fixed-focus lens that captures subjects from 60 cm to infinite sharpness. The focal length is specified by the manufacturer as 60 mm, which corresponds to a 35 mm lens in 35 mm format. Helpfully, there's a universal angle of view when you want to take spontaneous snapshots and group shots with a little distance. For Selfies, you plug the close-up lens supplied with the Selfies onto the lens. Then the shortest shooting distance is only 35 cm. Manual Exposure Adjustment If your film is printing completely white It is also possible that your has expired or has something wrong with it. Because of the way Instax Instant film processes itself, sometimes the chemicals in the film become expired or lose their potency. This can happen if the Instax film is expired or if the Instax film was not stored correctly .

The only other button is the shutter: line up your shot, give it a squeeze and your print is ejected out the top of the camera. While I normally dislike bulky items, there's something about the design of the Instax Mini 9 that I like. It looks like a kid's toy, but perhaps that's what makes it so charming. And while I don't have a carrying case for it, I feel that the plastic casing is fairly durable and the lanyard makes it easy to take with me. The Instax Mini 9 can be a little thrown off by high contrast scenes, though this isn’t uncommon on instant cameras. While the automatic exposure adjustment is meant to simplify things, it also means less overall control in the final image. If you prefer to have complete control over how the final outcome will be, then this would definitely be more annoying than helpful. There are 3 reasons why all the lights flashing on the front of the Instax Mini 9 are flashing. The first is because the batteries in the camera are too low to charge the flash. However, remember to only replace the batteries in the Instax Mini 9 while the power is turned on or when the lens is extended. The second reason is the film wasn’t loaded correctly in the camera. The third reason is because there may be a paper jam inside the camera.

After testing out a few different instant cameras in the recent weeks, I personally still enjoy using my Fujifilm Instax Mini 9. Even though there's no support for digital copies of the snaps I take, I don't mind, because if I wanted a digital copy, I would simply use my iPhone XS. The 2 small, parallel holes / sensors on the front of your Instax Mini 9 are covered. Both the AE Light and Flash Light sensors on the camera body and the lens are designed to measure light in the environment so the camera captures the right amount of light when you press the shutter button. When these sensors are covered, your Instax thinks there needs to more light than it actually needs. If you are sure you have film in your camera and your Instax Mini 9 still won’t take photos, then it may just be that the batteries in the camera are dead and need to be replaced. Dead batteries are indicated on the Instax Mini 9 if the red light to the left of the viewfinder keeps blinking or stays lit. Another indicator that the batteries need to be replaced is all of the brightness indicator lights on the front of the camera flash. Remember to only use 2 AA Alkaline batteries in Instax cameras since any others batteries (such as rechargeable / NiMH, Zinc Carbon, or NiCd) won’t give optimum results.With an initial aperture of f12.7, the lens is not particularly bright, so the built-in flash is active every time you take a picture. Its range is indicated as 0.6 to 2.7 m. The exposure time is a constant 1/60 second, which is quite impressive. The brightness of the image is only controlled by the aperture. You can manually adjust the lens in 4 steps by means of a selector wheel on top of it.

If you’ve tried replacing the old batteries with a new set of 2 AA alkaline batteries and the camera is still blinking orange and won’t take an image after pressing the shutter, try resetting camera by removing and reinstalling the fresh batteries while the lens is extended (or the camera is turned on). While Fujifilm Instax film works well in a wide range of temperatures, you will get the best results with Instax film when used when the ambient temperature is around 41 – 104 F (or 5 – 40 C). If you are using your Instax Mini 9 and film in an environment where the ambient temperature is below 41 F (or 5 C), then your Instax print will not be able to develop correctly and turn out completely white. The lens wasn’t fully extended when you turned the camera on or the lens barrel was held when the image was taken so the shutter wasn’t able to fire correctly. The image is too dark because no light was able to hit the image. Once you’ve adapted to these foibles, however, the Mini 9 can still produce high quality instant photos.The Instax Mini 9, like almost all Instax Mini cameras, won’t take a picture until the flash is fully charged. So, if there is a flashing red light to the left of the viewfinder on the Instax Mini 9, this means the flash is charging and the camera won’t take an image until the red light goes out and an orange light on the front of the camera indicating the correct brightness setting is lit up.
