Alongside the exciting reveal of the X-T4 Fujifilm has also released an update to it’s instant camera line. The Instax Mini 11<\/a> is the successor to the immensely popular Mini 9<\/a> and bears much the same form factor and design. It does, however, come with some new features and capabilities. Let’s have a look!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Automatic Exposure<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first and probably most significant innovation in the Mini 11 is the new Automatic Exposure mode. This is the first ever Instax entry camera with such capability. Earlier Instax cameras require the user to manually select a preset based on the scene. The Instax Mini 11 automatically optimizes the shutter speed and flash output to match the lighting conditions, resulting in perfect exposures every time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don’t need to do anything to activate the automatic exposure mode. Simply turn on the camera and you’re ready to go. The new mode will not only streamline photography, it’s bound to improve image quality in challenging conditions too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Selfie Mode \/ Close Up Photography<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The second new feature of the Instax Mini 11 is the Selfie Mode that is activated by pulling out the front edge of the lens once the camera is on (see illustration above). All this does is to bring the focusing of the camera in the 30 to 50 centimeter range, allowing you to capture sharp, beautiful selfies. The camera also features a small convex mirror next to the lens like the one we’ve seen on the Mini 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Selfie Mode can also be used for close up photography, provided the same subject distance (30-50cm\/12″-20″) is maintained. This is good news for those pretty flower shots that always ended up blurry in the past. Thanks to the automatic exposure, no corrections are required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Body and Design<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Instax Mini 11 follows the natural progression of the Instax line, with smoother lines and sophisticated color options. Both thinner and lighter than the Mini 9, the new camera comes in five colors: Bluish Pink, Ice White, Sky Blue, Lilac Purple and Charcoal Gray. For additional personalization, the Instax Mini 11 features replaceable shutter buttons, just like your Leica<\/a>. You can opt for a jewel styled button color-matched to the camera body, or a glow-in-the-dark version. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fujifilm Instax Mini Film<\/a> is a credit card size, 800 ISO color film with each sheet measuring 5. 4 x 8. 6 cm. The images within those sheets measure 6.2 x 4.6 cm or 2.44\u201d x 1.81\u201d and there are 10 sheets per pack. The film is daylight (5500K) balanced and the resulting print has a durable glossy surface. For best value, get the 5 pack 50 sheet bundle<\/a> or the 100 shot mega pack<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
