Video

Glad to see this video helped, after 7 years! I still believe that the mini 90 is the best of the analog cameras that came out from Fuji! Sadly, my mini 90 stopped working few years ago (E error) and I could not fix it.. I wrote down the modes I used on some of the pictures for reference, if you don't want to use the bottom part to write info, you can always paste a sticky note at the back or - there are frame stickers you can buy and use the middle part of that sticker pasted to the back!

Thank you so much for watching! The best lighting condition to get photos is day time or places with a lot of light. Using the L/D modes are tricky but try to match L with evening/night photos and D with mornings. L+ is good for washed out effect in photos. Hope this helps!

I haven't tested with the timer but I assume that the timer will not capture the 10 secs - rather it will capture only the timer goes off. You can find a steady surface (floor, desk etc.) and keep pressing the shutter button.

- YaySchmitty - For Sunrise - I doubt you need the L. It depends on the amount of light at the time. For the flash on sunrise, you don't need it. Infact, flash is useless for landscapes. But make sure you dont shake the camera - place it on a tripod if possible. Thanks for watching!

Eli N. If you are capturing any objects (things or someone) at night - the best is to go with flash. D = Dark. This is good for overly bright scenarios - eg. sunny mornings. L = Light/L+ = Lighter. Good for scenarios which needs a bit more exposure and without flash - eg. Dawn, dusk, indoors. I hope this helps :)

I suggest watching a beginner video for this. Watch a load of these beginner videos so that you are more familiar with the modes. It will go through the different modes and what mode suits which event. The manual also has this information. When you first switch on, it detects the exposure and adjusts it to some level automatically (auto flash). As for the group photos with timer, you can adjust the settings (flash/L - light/D - dark)press the timer once (10 secs), look through the viewfinder (check for tips in this video for the area of capture) and press the shutter and run back. The ideal distance will be an arms' length if you want all the faces clear. Make sure the camera won't shake as you take a pic. It works well with camera stands - use one for timer photos. You can usually take Selfies or Landscapes with sufficient lighting (around 10am and before 6pm) without any modes/settings on. Make sure you check the screen when you switch on - if the flash icon blinks, it means its going to fire the flash. You can disable it. Happy photo snapping! :)

Goldy Pantaran I'm glad you found it helpful ❤

Thank you for watching <3 I'm currently making a video on the double exposure mode - Hopefully I'll get it out soon ;-)

Aramy Hernandez No - you can't use flash with bulb mode since its not allowed by the camera. If you switch to bulb mode, you can see the "no flash" icon (a lightning bolt symbol cut off) flashing below the "B" (bulb mode) icon.

Roro_Park when I set the the bulb option on it does show that the flash is disable. But if u press the flash button it will allow you to set the flash to go under bulb.

Aramy Hernandez I just discovered that too :D For the photos I've taken, I didnt use flash - you can experiment on it but I doubt that it will give any picture and it might leave you with an over-exposed film or object since bulb mode is used to capture an object in low light :)

Roro_Park i have tried it. You really have to play around with it. I took it a pic of my black cat under bulb with flash and dark mode all together. The pic came it out decent lol When I used bulb by it self my cat blend into all the darkness! Lol you def do need to play around with it to try to get the best out of the camera. Btw I love your videos. Well put together and highly informative. Love them. Keep making them!

Aramy Hernandez For that scenario I dont think that so many modes are required - just flash and macro would do. I use bulb mode to capture objects at night - say a lantern or light bulbs at night (totally dark).

Yeeson Yu Bulb mode is more like long exposure. You just have to select the option from the screen and hold the shutter button. You can hold it upto 10 secs - it will automatically eject the film after. Don't mix this with double exposure - which is where you press the shutter button once on one scene and the second time on another scene - you dont press and hold for double exposure.

Thx.

Thanks! I am searching for this answer for a while now. I want to buy instax 90!

Holden Caulfield thanks for watching!

TOmasILiescu Glad that you found it useful :-) Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching <3 Best wishes for taking great photos ahead!

Maria Aragon Thank you for watching :) Yes it can be somewhat expensive - you can try ordering bulk from ebay, thats what I found to be cheaper. Hope you take great pictures!

Taylor Seeley Note 5 is short for Samsung Galaxy Note 5, it's the phone I used to take the photos for comparison :) phone specs - m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note5-7431.php

I'm glad you liked it <3 I will be making more videos when I take more photos and experiment more with the film :) Best of luck with the new camera! Also part two : czcams.com/video/Aa0YuhNyc1U/video.html

Henrique Muniz Thank you for the comments and for watching ❤ Hope you make great memories with the camera!

Moon Sun No :) If you want to capture a landscape, theres no actual use for the flash as it can't reach far away. In the scene where you mentioned, it was dark inside the tower and the brightness of the surrounding has me blacked out. If you do use the flash in a similar scenario, you might only capture the tower and not the sky behind it :) Hope this helped :)

thank you so much! You vids are really helpful for a beginner like me. I just bought one today! Hope you can make more vids like this! :)

Moon Sun There's not much to make but I intend on doing some experiments on the film durability and modes :) Its one handy camera, good luck in capturing memories!

Derika Charles thank you for watching! I hope to experiment more on double exposure soon :)

social media Thank you so much for watching my video! There is also a second part that I uploaded just today (link in description). I'm glad this video helped you! There are some really good videos out there where I too learnt a lot before buying this but im my opinion, dedicating a long video for unboxing and tagging it as a tutorial or tips might make it feel like a waste of time :)

Jennifer Moscoso When taking landscape photos (far away scenary only) its pointless to use flash because the light won't reach that far so it won't affect anything. I didn't use the flash on that photo. Unless you shoot a macro in a bright light or sunlight, the camera tends to fire the flash. Macro in the mini 90 is arms' length (start of your shoulder to your palm) so there's a good probability that it can blur the subject if not in correct length and black out the backgroud when the flash fires. I learnt through a lot of trial and error but yes it's frustrating when the films are expensive *sob*. Hope I answered your question. If you have more, fire away! Thank you for watching the video!

Ssss Chen Thanks fot watching! :)

Hayden Bailey thanks for watching!

clued up glad that I was able to help! thank you so much for watching!

Henrique Muniz It will all be on practise and assumptions - try if below works 1. portrait shot - on your viewfinder, aim the object a bit more to the right and downwards on the frame 2. landscape shot - on the viewfinder, aim the object a bit more left and downwards on the frame Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

Rina de Ávila Pereira you can buy bulk film from ebay - will be a bit expensive but worth it on the long run. Thanks a lot for watching!

Davide Berz Hi, if you are asking about whether the photo comes out in a landscape or portrait mode when shot - it comes in portrait. In that way, when you check the back, the line "Instax" comes vertically. Hope I answered your question. I you do have anymore, feel free to ask me :) Thanks for watching!

Thanks! In portrait mode are you able to use the viewfinder? Because I noticed that is on horizontal position for landscape mode. It's a bit weird cos i dont understand why they didn't make the camera working on the right (horizontal) side to make portraits..

Davide Berz The mini 90 has 2 shutter buttons - one for portrait and other for landscape. 1. goo.gl/images/aGFXrM - hold it this way for portrait, look through the viewfinderand press the button next to the lens for a portrait pic. 2. goo.gl/images/bXVzeE - hold it this way for landscape pic. Check from the viewfinder and shoot.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for watching!

Derika Charles thank you for watching and support! Will definitely make more once I get enough snaps again :)

mrhicks957 Answer - I wouldn't know much about snow since it doesn't snow where I live and haven't got the chance to shoot in snow. There were videos in YT where people have shot in the snow so I think going out in the cold with the camera wouldn't be a problem but I'm not too sure. Make sure to keep it a hard shell case when you are not taking it out to shoot even when you are outside - I do that too even if it doesn't snow here. Avoid moisture, direct sunlight, water and any snow flakes/snow on the camera. If you do want to shoot the details of snow (texture, various shades or protrusions) it might just show you a white background unless theres a major colour difference. I noticed that after I uploaded the video too.. It was made with the movie maker 2012 - which I'm new to - and had all the trouble after adding transitions and effects :P Thanks for the suggestion and watching!! Hope you have a brilliant new year!

Tomi Balta thank you for watching!

Lorelyn Its a pure joy and exciting to own one! Hope you get to take beautiful memories :) Thank you for watching!

just came in the mail! got my film and everything :-) rewatching this video now

Where did you get your case from? I keep seeing cases for the mini 8 only :( or is it the same thing?

Carla accessories for mini 8 and 90 are different - it won't fit. You can search for clear cases in ebay, thats where I got it from. Search for 'instax mini 90 clear case'. link - www.ebay.com/itm/201482843295

iza boo instax is best to take photos outside in natural light. If you want to take photos inside, make sure you have either lot of sunlight or a bright light. You can use the flash, but it will make the objects in the back darker. When using flash, don't keep objects too close (arms length) or it will end up looking white with a black background. Hope this helped :) Thank you for watching!

Anaïs Bataillard Thank you for watching and hope you take the best pictures out there :)

MuchycZ Thank you for watching :)
