Product Description
Fujifilm instax mini 99 Manual — Overview
The Fujifilm instax mini 99 is a feature-rich instant camera designed for easy, creative analog-style photography. Compact and travel-ready, it combines classic instant prints with modern conveniences like a rechargeable battery, multiple shooting modes, and built-in color effect LEDs. The camera uses FUJIFILM INSTAX mini film (62 × 46 mm images) and offers a programmed electronic shutter, manual vignette control, and a range of flash options to suit varied lighting conditions.
Key Features and How It Feels to Use
Turning the lens dial powers the camera and selects focal ranges—macro, standard, or landscape—making close-ups and wide scenes simple without menus. The viewfinder includes a targeting spot and parallax correction for more accurate framing in macro mode. The shutter supports programmed speeds from 1/400 to 1.8 seconds and a Bulb mode (up to 10 seconds) for night shots, while double exposure enables creative layering of two images on a single print.
Exposure control is mostly automatic but offers five-step brightness compensation and a color-effect dial with six built-in LED effects (Faded Green, Warm Tone, Light Blue, Soft Magenta, Sepia, and Light Leak) to craft distinct moods in-camera. The manual vignette switch physically narrows the lens aperture for centered, artistic compositions.
Charging is via USB Type-C to the supplied charger (approx. 1–2 hours). The NP-70S rechargeable battery supports multiple film packs per charge under normal conditions; battery level is shown on the LCD. The film ejection is automatic and development takes roughly 90 seconds depending on temperature. Safety notes stress correct film handling, battery care, and general precautions to avoid damage or injury.
Practical Notes for Everyday Shooting
The instax mini 99 incorporates a mode button cycling through Indoor, Sports, Double Exposure, and Bulb modes, plus flash settings (Auto, Fill-in, Red-eye removal, Flash off). Self-timer, tripod mount, brightness dial, and easy-to-read LCD indicators add usability. Follow film storage guidance and avoid opening the back cover mid-pack to prevent ruining unused film.
Short Tips
- Charge the battery fully before first use and carry a warm spare in cold conditions.
- Keep the film chamber clean and avoid exposing film to extreme heat or X-rays.
- Use vignette for portrait-focused artistic shots; use Bulb with a tripod for nightscapes.
