Blockbuster moments from mini movies
There’s nothing Fujifilm loves more than a bit of retro fun with its cameras, and it is leaning fully into creative nostalgia with the launch of two new Instax products that blur the line between moving image, stills and instant prints. The new £330/$410 Instax Mini Evo Cinema is a three-in-one hybrid instant camera that lets creators shoot stills, record short videos of up to 15 seconds and choose a frame grab immediately, then print a physical photo using Instax Mini film via the free smartphone app. To give it full retro cred, the camera not only features a deep vertical grip, but also the Eras Dial. This applies visual styles designed to mimic the look of different film eras such as the grainy, pale tones of the thirties, the bold colours of the eighties and the sharp, rich imagery of the 2020s. There are ten available styles and, by rotating the dial to precisely adjust colour, contrast and noise, up to ten creative variations per era can be set. For the US release, the dial has been renamed the Gen Dial to avoid clashes with pop star Taylor Swift’s Eras project. Joining it is the £130/$170 Instax Mini Link+ smartphone printer, which builds on the Link range with enhanced creative modes and app features focused on lots of different styles. instax.co.uk
