Fujifilm Releases First Square Format Analog Instax Camera

Fujifilm announced a square format analog Instax camera called the Instax Square SQ6. The instant film camera has with a 1:1 aspect ratio and renders photos in a 2.4-inch by 2.4-inch square format.

The camera has an automatic exposure adjustment function that is activated when the shutter button is pressed. It detects the ambient brightness and adjusts to provide the optimum shutter speed and flash light intensity. Even in a dark room, subjects and the background can be shot clearly. When taking a selfie, simply set the camera to selfie-mode and the settings will be adjusted to the optimum focus and brightness. There is also a self-shot mirror attached to the side of the lens allowing you to check the shooting range. Tripod holes in the bottom of the main unit and a timer can be also useful for group photos.

Furthermore, the camera has three modes. The "Double Exposure Mode" allows two photos to be overlapped on a single film when the shutter button is pressed twice, the "Macro Mode" can take short-range photos up to a minimum of 30cm, and the "Landscape Mode" can be used to take long-range landscape photos. It also includes three flash color filters (orange/purple/green) that once placed over the flash will change the color of the overall photo, allowing you to achieve a more unique and textured photo.

The Instax Square SQ6 comes in three colors: white, gold, and gray. You have to purchase Fujifilm Instax film separately, which costs $12.54 per pack of 10 prints on Amazon. The Square SQ6 is coming on May 25th in the US for $129.95.
