Retro Instant Polaroid Cameras

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Fujifilm's Brand New Instax SQ40 Has a Large Square Film

— June 15, 2023 — Tech
Fujifilm unveils its new line of instant cameras highlighted by the Instax SQ40, which is a camera that is inspired by the brand's Mini 40. The new feature is led by a larger square film format and instead of the shining plastic square, it is wrapped in a faux black leather detailed with silver accents as the contrasting touch.

Another feature is that the lens is retractable and also features three modes starting with the fully retracted position that is 'off.' This makes the camera flat and closes the cap, when it is on, it extends and the lens cap opens. Finally, the macro mode allows for selfies as it is able to shoot between 11.8 and 19.7 inches.
