Fujifilm Instax Mini 41 Instant Camera

An elegant, genuinely easy instant camera with a timeless design. The Instax Mini 41 is a fun way to catch a moment and hold a credit-card-sized print of it about ninety seconds later.

Automatic exposure does away with switching modes for different lighting — the camera sets exposure, shutter speed and flash output to suit the scene, so correctly exposed pictures take no thought at all. The built-in flash covers low light.

Close-up and selfies, built in

Fujifilm folded close-focus into the lens itself, so there is no adapter to lose. Twist the lens barrel once to turn the camera on, twist again for close-up mode, and you get a 30–50 cm focus range plus tighter framing. A small mirror on the front of the lens lets you line up a selfie properly.
