This article will provide information on a modern novelty. We are talking about a digital device - the Fujifilm Instax Mini 25 camera. It is compact in size and has excellent functionality.
Anyone following this developer may agree that the Instax camera is not new. For the first time it became known in Japan in 1999. And even after that, the interest of buyers did not weaken, but on the contrary, increased each time. However, in 2008, the creation of photographic materials for printing was covered, so sales and the creation of devices were slowed down. In Russia, sales began in full swing in 2011. In this country, the manufacturer supplies the device along with all the necessary consumables.
Analysis of the filling
Anyone who is closely connected with digital technology will not be able to believe this, but the Fujifilm Instax Mini 25 camera, the reviews about which are quite impressive, works with a minimum of electronics inside. You need to charge the cassette, which holds 10 cards, take a picture. After that, he will print out and appear in a few minutes. What comes to mind after such a story? The well-known (and long forgotten) Polaroid cameras. The technology in the described devices uses exactly the same.
What is the difference between them in this case? Instax devices are more compact than Soviet designs. However, this entails a certain drawback - the size of the photograph. The weight of the device is 300 grams. The print has a size of 86 by 54 millimeters.
The process of taking a picture and printing
You need to purchase a cassette, remove it from the package (which, by the way, is completely tight), open the chamber door and insert the part there. This can be done in the light, in a dark room. There are no restrictions. Moreover, to confuse the right side of the cassette with the wrong one does not work, since it is inserted only by one of them. After the procedure is complete, just press the shutter button. The camera buzzes a little and immediately prints the resulting image. The first in the cassette is printed with the phrase "this is not a film." Do not be scared or think that this is a marriage. This picture is a stub that protects the card cassette from light. After that, the owner has 10 frames. But you need to understand that this is not a figure in which you can see the picture and, if you do not like it, then delete it. You need to think through your every idea and only then take pictures.
More details about the camera
As mentioned above, there are practically no electronics in the Fujifilm Instax Mini 25. There is only one function that calculates the exposure level. It happens on an automatic level. But in manual mode, there is also a chance to correct it. However, the method is very unusual, rather exotic.
If you look at the described camera in more detail, you will notice that it has two buttons for taking a picture, a flash on, exposure compensation and power buttons, as well as a small black and white LCD type display. It is required to display several icons. Press the exposure compensation button and change the settings. All this is done sequentially: without correction, negative, positive. The settings end here, no longer provided.
Autofocus is not built in. Any frame will be sharp if taken from a distance of more than 50 cm. If you want to take photos closer, you will have to use a macro lens. She puts on a lens. In this case, sharpness will appear 30 cm from the camera. Changing the parameters in a different way will fail.
Interesting points
The Fujifilm Instax Mini 25 received a very small flash. Ideal for creating portrait shots. The camera works with two lithium batteries.
The device has two shutter buttons: one is responsible for horizontal orientation, and the second for vertical. There is a mirror on the lens. It is possible to take a selfie.
After pressing the shutter button, the photo leaves: one side is white, the other is black. After a few minutes, the picture begins to appear. First, only the contours, and then the colors appear.
Summary
You need to understand that this device is not a professional camera. It is suitable for amateurs who like this style of shooting. Using this device, you need to forget about focusing, sharpness, and other rules. There is only one thing: only a moment should be photographed, the camera will be able to perfectly capture all inexpressible emotions.
