Our take on the Fujifilm Instax Mini 12

The Instax Mini 12 is Fujifilm's entry-level instant camera, the successor to the Mini 11. It keeps the automatic exposure and adds a twist-to-turn close-up lens and a selfie mirror built into the lens ring, so close shots and self-portraits are easier to frame. It prints credit-card-size Instax Mini film and runs on two AA batteries. It is the simplest way into instant prints, but it costs more per photo than a digital camera and gives you no control over focus, shutter or flash.

Questions and answers

Is the Instax Mini 12 worth it over the Mini 11?
The Mini 12 adds a twist close-up lens and a selfie mirror, which makes close shots and self-portraits easier. If you rarely shoot close up, the older Mini 11 does much the same job.
What film does it use?
It takes Instax Mini film, which prints 62 x 46 mm images on 86 x 54 mm cards. The film is sold separately and comes in single and double packs.
Does it need batteries?
Yes, it runs on two AA batteries, and a set is included in the box. Battery life is good for roughly ten packs of film.
Can I turn off the flash?
No. The flash is automatic and fires based on the light sensor, so there is no manual switch to disable it.
How close can it focus?
In close-up mode the lens focuses from about 30 to 50 cm, which suits selfies, flowers and food. Beyond that range, twist the ring back to normal mode.
What comes in the box?
The camera, two AA batteries, a wrist strap and a user manual. Film is not included.
