1. Insert Batteries

Locate the battery compartment on the side of the camera. Open the compartment and insert the two CR2 batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Close the compartment securely.

2. Load Instax Square Film

Open the film compartment door on the back of the camera. Align the yellow mark on the film pack with the yellow mark inside the camera's film compartment. Gently push the film pack in until it clicks into place. Close the film compartment door. The camera will automatically eject the dark protective sheet. Do not open the film compartment door until all 10 exposures have been used.

3. Attach Camera Strap

Thread the camera strap through the strap loops on the camera body. Secure the strap firmly to prevent accidental drops.

Operating the Camera

1. Power On/Off

Slide the power switch located on the top of the camera to the 'ON' position to extend the lens and power on the camera. Slide it to 'OFF' to retract the lens and power off.

2. Select a Shooting Mode

Press the 'MODE' button on the back of the camera to cycle through the available shooting modes. The selected mode will be indicated by an illuminated icon on the top panel. Available modes include:

• Auto (A): Automatically adjusts brightness and shutter speed for optimal exposure.
• Selfie: Optimized for close-up shots (0.3m - 0.5m). Use the small mirror next to the lens for framing.
• Macro: For close-up subjects (0.3m - 0.5m).
• Landscape: For distant subjects (2m - infinity).
• Double Exposure: Captures two different images on a single film sheet.
• Light (L): Makes the image brighter.
• Dark (D): Makes the image darker.

3. Flash Control

Press the flash button (indicated by a lightning bolt icon) on the back of the camera to toggle the flash on or off. The camera's high-performance flash automatically calculates surrounding brightness and adjusts shutter speed in Auto mode.

4. Self-Timer

Press the self-timer button (indicated by a clock icon) on the back of the camera to activate a 10-second self-timer for group photos or self-portraits.

5. Take a Photo

Look through the viewfinder to frame your shot. Press the shutter button located on the front of the camera to capture the image. The film will automatically eject from the top slot.

Special Features

Color Filters

The camera includes three color filters (orange, purple, and green) that can be fitted over the flash. These filters add a unique color tint to your photos, allowing for creative expression.

Double Exposure Mode

In Double Exposure mode, you can capture two distinct images on a single Instax Square film sheet. This creates artistic and layered photographs.

Light/Dark Modes

Adjust the exposure of your photos with the Light (L) and Dark (D) modes. Use 'L' to brighten images in low-light conditions or for a softer look, and 'D' to darken images or enhance contrast.

Film Handling

Use only Fujifilm Instax Square instant film. Each film pack contains 10 exposures. The film counter on the back of the camera indicates how many shots remain. Do not open the film compartment door while film is loaded, as this can expose the film and render it unusable. Store film in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Camera

Wipe the camera body with a soft, dry cloth. For the lens, use a lens cleaning cloth and lens cleaning solution if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Battery Care

Replace batteries when the battery indicator light flashes or the camera fails to power on. Always use fresh CR2 batteries. Remove batteries if the camera will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

Troubleshooting

• Camera does not power on: Check if batteries are inserted correctly and are not depleted. Replace if necessary.
• Film does not eject: Ensure a film pack is loaded correctly and that the film counter is not at '0'.
• Photos are too dark/light: Adjust using the Light (L) or Dark (D) modes, or ensure sufficient lighting for your shot. Check flash settings.
• Flash not firing: Check flash settings. Ensure batteries have enough power.
• Blurred images: Hold the camera steady during shooting. Ensure the subject is within the recommended focus range for the selected mode (e.g., Macro for close-ups, Landscape for distant subjects).
