I cried when he threw away the bubble wrap :(
hE GOT 3 INFINITY STONES
I'm Bored 😂😂
My humble personage bows before your grandeur. No other being has ever had the might nay the nobility to wield not 1, not 2, but 3 infinity stones.
Fuji, can you please come up with a new instant camera that shoots your WIDE film? Your current camera is huge and has a very poor lens to be honest. Also, please add a stronger flash and rechargeable batteries. Thanks
Thank you for the feedback!
Thank you. Your wide Instax film is excellent and very affordable. I think a smaller, lighter body with a stronger flash, and a better lens will get you a best seller. I'm ok with a higher price tag.
And maybe with a self timer so the pictures can be taken without any assistance.
yeh better Lens like Leika will bring this prod to my top )
It looks amazing
Thank you!! This helped very much
Would rather have seen it use batteries like the digital cameras use with a charger or have a USB port to charge the camera and have internal battery or something. Otherwise it looks solid.
Pretty slim. Hopefully they can incorporate this in their next wide format camera.
I’m already looking forward to next square film analog camera after this one, I have the grey one
Can u tell me your experience with the sq6?
Still looks fantastic
Hi, very helpful, but I still have a couple of questions:
1) I don’t quite understand the very differences between “selfie mode” and “ macro mode” since the have the same focal distance.
2) what’s the focus distance when shooting automatic, or double exposure or lighten and darken mode. They just specify the focus distance when shooting macro, selfie and landscapes. Thank you!
5:06 LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH 🎶
Look at this graaaaaph 🙁🎶
I like it, please make instax printer wide next.
YES
the isntax wide film would’ve been cool. it looks half as bulky as the instax wide camera.
i wish sop much I'd been getting into instant film way sooner and actually would've gotten this amaizing piece new...
I like this guy
Banananana Toomoe soraka is god of banana
very informative... im going to buy one now :)
Thanks Red. We hope you enjoy using it.
@@fujiguys i did buy one today. Check my IG for proof 😂
agree
This camera looks awesome, when will it be out in the UK?
It should be available as early as June, but please check with Fujifilm UK for exact timing. Here's a website link with how to get a hold of them....
www.fujifilm.eu/uk/contact-us
Focusing zones are somehow mode settings alongside double exposure, darker and lighter modes. It seems like you can only choose one at a time, as there's only one MODE button, and you switch through all the options by clicking it. Does this mean that double exposure, darkening or lightening are only available in the landscape focus zone? Or is there some trick to this?
I would like the answer to that question also. How do you select a particular mode for focus and then adjust using the lighten/darken mode?
You cannot. This is the weakness of this camera sadly.
62 x 62 mm. It's a good size.
I've just bought one of these for my daughter. Can you tell me if they're supposed to come with a security seal? Mine didn't. Seems odd not to have one, anybody could open the box and tamper with it.
What is with those batteries? They went out with the VCR. Surely a mistake by fuji. What happened to rechargeable batteries, like in the instax share SP3? A step backward for sure.
Hi, great video. One question: which tripod would you recommend for the sq6? Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback.
While we are not going to suggest a particular brand or model, as long as the tripod will support the weight of the camera (393g / 13.9oz.) which is lighter than many digital cameras. Look for one about 6" or so long as a minimum. But, it's important to ensure the tripod can handle the weight of the camera.
Fuji Guys Channel Thank you!!!
@@fujiguys for reference, can we please know which tripod was used in this video? plssssssssss
Hi, what is the smallest aperture in this camera or does in have only one aperture, F/12.6?
If it has several apertures, which ones? Does it always use F22 in the landscape mode? How about selfie and macro modes?
Whats the shutter speed range? Please bring back Pack Film. If you had spent a little time developing a new Pack Film camera as the instant market was taking off again you probably could've saved Pack Film and kept the more serious instant shooters happy as well.
The shutter speed range on the instax SQ6 is 1.6 sec - 1/400 sec.
Thank-you for the feedback on pack film.
I have a insta square sq6 and the shooting modes are flashing by any cbance do you know what that means ? I load the Camara with new film and it does not reset to 10 it stays on "S"
is the viewfinder accurate with the finished prints? not on macro mode or not shooting at close distances. i’m having problems with mine. sometimes the printed photos have extra spaces on either of the sides. is this normal or should i have my camera checked?
You will usually get some extra space in the print outside of what you saw in the viewfinder. This is normal.
hi, the new sq6 film is quite expensive to buy, does it matter if i use the sq6 film or can i just use the old polaroid film? would it effect the camera in anyway? thanks.
Hi Marama. The SQ6 uses Fujifilm instax Square film exclusively. You can not use old Polaroid film packs in it.
Is there an automatic mode on the instax mini 90 Neo Classic, too?
Yes. The instax Mini90 does have an automatic exposure mode.
Does anyone know what the focussing range is when shooting in Lighten / Darken?
Lighten/darken as well as double exposure default to 'auto mode focus' (2-6 ft). My work-around for more distant subjects is to use landscape mode and attach ND gels with removable double sided tape. Cover the lens to darken and cover the sensor to lighten. I generally use a .15ND (1/2 stop) gel over the lens for 90% of my shots. A .3ND (1 stop) is useful for double exposures (2-6ft). A Roscolux swatch book ($10) has all sorts of ND & color gels.
I am wanting to get myself a Polaroid camera, is this the latest and BEST available in the market???
rayzorhead no it is not. It's the latest in square format that is purely analog.
Can you set "lighter" mode together with "double exposure" mode on this?
It seems it's not possible. :-/
Hi Martin. It's an either/or and there is no option for using both of those features at the same time.
They're going old style, now even the batteries, its unprofessional, but i like it this way because that's their style in the first place, to go old style. :))
Does the film come with the camera or u have to buy it separately
Usually the camera is sold without film.
I wasn’t thinking so serious to buy it before minutes.... but well.. I bought it and it will arrive after two days😂😂
Sana ol
I’d like to ask as to how would you know if your batteries are almost drained? Is there any indicator in the camera that would tell you about it? Thank you.
My flash isn’t working, what should I do?
Does the Camera recognize film being inserted or does it fire without anyway?
When there is a film pack loaded, you will see a yellow indicator bar through a window to confirm whether or not there is a pack inside. If there is no film loaded, the camera's shutter and motor will trip, but there will not be an image recorded, and no film will pop out.
A Big Thanks for the quick reply. The Camera behaved "weird" when i first turned it on that's why i asked. Im super satisfied with it however, such a great experience and super glad i waited long enough to got this model :D
I'm gonna love ❤ my Grand new sq6 I'm going to take that camera everywhere taking good high-quality pictures I don't give a damn about the flash gels the film is reasonable $20.00 for 2 cartridges you can't beat that with a stick and you get 20 pictures.
i went to a wedding ceremony last saturday - 9 out 10 photos were so bad. it was shot in dim, chapel-lighting. the wedded couple looked like ghosts in the photos. haha
Sorry to hear that. Keep in mind that the flash range is 2.7m (8.9'), so any subjects will need to be within that range to be properly lit when the ambient lighting is low.
ACTUALLY
Will there be an all black version?
There are no plans for an all-black version at this time.
Did they stop selling the film for this on amazon?
This film is still available. Look for "instax Square film".
What's the difference between the selfie- and macro mode?
While both modes will adjust the focus to be between 30-50cm, the selfie mode will also adjust the brightness accordingly.
Just have this camera, anyone know as to why the led lights are flashing/dancing?
Try removing the batteries while the LED's are flashing and re-sinsert them.
If this does not resolve the problem then please contact the closest Fujifilm customer support centre.

Does this already come with film ?
Normally, the instax SQ6 does not include film.
Those CR2 batteries are a mistake surely?
OH DEAR NOT THOSE BATTERIES THEY COST A ARM AND A LEG BUT I HAVE THE SQ10 BUT I WOULD LIKE THIS TOO JEFF.. OPPS BUT THOSE SPUNKING BATTERIES GRR
CR2 battery is a deal breaker :(
sachigatsu g Yeah, in this day and age to pair this camera with a dated power source leaves me scratching my head, especially coming from Fuji who has been cranking some rocking rigs as of late.
Surprised these batteries are even still available. On the up side, Fuji claim that they will last until you've used 30 packs of film.
you can find rechargeable CR2 batteries
They'll probably release a model with rechargable battery, offset viewfinder, and LCD photo counter. This is the equivalent of a mini 70 basically.
They already have a premium model, its called the SQ10. I can't see Fuji releasing another analog model just for the sake of having a rechargeable battery and LCD counter.
I swapped out my batteries to new ones and my camera is still flashing please help

Would rather see a new wide camera or wide printer, would be much more useful than this. All the instax cameras are so BIG, I prefer to use my iPhone and then print out at home with the instax printers.
Does this come with a charger?
The batteries are not rechargeable. It uses 2x CR-2 lithium batteries.
Fuji we don’t need new (toy) cameras.... we need film! Please bring back fp100c ASAP
Both selfie mode and macro mode have the same focal length? then what's the actual differences between these two mode?
While both settings adjust the focus zone to between 30-50cm, the "Selfie" mode also applies an appropriate brightness for self portraits.
Fuji Guys Channel thanks!
I want these instant cameras to have rechargeable batteries though... :/ the way it looked made me think it did that’s why I came here but thank goodness I didn’t get my hopes up either
The NEO90 has rechargeable batteries.
Majessty _ the batteries actually last for 5+ years, got one myself!
Why are both the Mint RX70 and the Instax Square SQ6 so monster huge? A social purposed camera should be pocketable, not designed like a 5x7 Field Camera.
Ralph Jay Wallace the film itself takes quite a space, it's actually quite slim for what it is
PITTY 3 1/4 BY 3 1/4 WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER AND THOSE BATTERNS HARD TO GET
I really want one for myself but the batteries turned me off ;(((
Same
Battery is the downside!
My message might seem weird because I'm Thai. Can someone tell me...pink, white, gray plastic sheet, can the front of the camera be removed? I don't like its texture and color. I want to take it off Sanding and repainting
this kind of camera (instax) produces soft images, usually...
Vincen Cohan lomo instant square has glass lens!
Fuji instant cameras produces the sharpest images of them all. Lomo are the ones that produce soft, out of focus photos.
Instax cameras generally produce images that are sharper than current film for polaroid cameras (I have both).
He’s cute ☺️
Kinda got turned off that the batteries aren't rechargable >..
Keep in mind that the SQ-6 can create upwards of 300 prints on a set of batteries. That's a lot of prints.
nice eyes
Is this camera at all suitable for one-handed use?
Sure thing Olivia. It's really easy to hold and use the camera in your right hand.
Fuji Guys Channel awesome! Thanks 👍🏻
Maybe if you ever offer B&W film for it. As for now, no thanks.
sq10 is better tho
Fuji, have you seen the Mint RF70? That is the kind of camera we are interesting in. Not this.
Rediscover Film 800 dollars? No thanks i will stick to sq6
This is a consumer camera. The reality is that if Fujifilm wasn't targeting a consumer market, where people buying it want something easy to use -a rangefinder does not qualifies as easy to use -, they'd be no Instax. It is nice to see that Mint can produce camera that suits you better (with a much heavier price tag), and we should all be happy with it - and Mint could decide to also have a camera using Instax Squre.
Hubert Figuière the point is Fuji makes endless versions of basically the same instax camera. With mini film they have so many models over the year which are all the same. Hell even Leica rebranded one’s. They could try harder like Lomography and Mint for a change and offer something more interesting than a tiny aperture camera with limited features.
Ding Dong says the guy named ding dong. Lol
Rediscover Film don't you like my name?
Is it weird my instax square didn't come with a battery cover ? Lmao what
Batteries? I don't wanna go THAT retro, ffs.
No no i think sq10 is much better than sq6 what do u guys thinks yuh ..??
Saadia Asif sq10 is a digital camera with a printer. I was more willing to buy Lomo square despite its drawbacks. Now I am more willing to buy sq6.
Cat Cat wht do mean by digital camera with a PRINTER . Can u pls explain me . I like sq10 cause it have the option that u can save pics and print them which u want any time and it also save the flims :)
Saadia Asif you know actually you are right. If you want a digital camera that allows you to print only when you find the picture worthy of "printing" then sq10 is for you. Or better yet...buy a digital camera and print your photos. With real Polaroid type camera there is no redo and no retouch. You messed up the picture it's your fault. You did it correctly and it came out like you wanted, great. But there is always the element of uncertainty with instant films (unless you are good at controlling your environment) which gives it extra flavor. If you want to take the picture 50 times, edit them in camera and print the best one, that is your right and sq10 is better for that for sure. For me it's it's a betrayal of Instant photography idea.
What most "Polaroid type" cameras do is basically, opening the shutter and let's in the light. So it exposeses the instant film to light burning the image on it. The only thing that is between the subject and instant film is the lens. As I understand it and have observed from other videos about sq10 and their manual pdf...there is a digital sensor between the film and lens so it's not true instant film experience. I don't own an sq10 and I can't be sure but I don't think that in "auto" mode the sensor goes down and the film is really exposed through the lens. I might be wrong of course. If anyone knows beter please correct me with evidence. Also if I explained sth wrong, may sb correct me. Don't hesitate.
Cat Cat ok thanku so much
Saadia Asif sure. No problem. Just go to the shop where they have both models sq10 and sq6 and comapre what you like.
this is not relevant haha but you have beautiful eyes!
SQ10 is better
no shit it is the premuim version, costs twice as much, SQ6 vs SQ10.... do you see the nomenclature
YEH I HAVE AN SQ 10 I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BUT I DONT LIKE THOSE BATTERIES
The batteries are the killers CR2 how much will that cost over time?👎🏻No manual control 👎🏻No hotshoe or Pc sync connector. No auto focus. A the big fail , when are you going to upgrade the 300 wide ,you can put all this in it ,but you don,t care do you
So Fuji you,ve wasted you time and money creating some thing that won,t sell
I'm laughing right now.. Fuji makes more money from their Instax lineup than their digital cameras. In a previous Fujifilm annual report, it states "Instax instant camera, annual worldwide sales volume exceeded 5 million units". I believe Fuji knows their target audience better than you do.
flakeu Fuji is marketing this to non serious people ,who will use this off and on when needed ,believe me the day the batteries die , they aren’t down to Poundland to get new ones ,you have to go online and this is going in the kitchen draw , their cameras power via usb ,why not this ,it would be common sense as phones are charged via usb, I personally have changed all my battery chargers to usb so that when I need power I can get it from either the car or the power pack ,with this I need to go out and buy a separate pack of batteries
Fuji needs to think of the future those young girls buying those cameras will move onto something else Fuji need to think of the future and market to all people to sell more.I personally use Instax wide monochrome on a Polariod 600se made to shoot Instax .Fuji has given this film zero exposure ,pardon the pun , I go to photo show and the Fuji stand always has colour mini film never the mono film. Fuji can market to professional/serious photographers ,there is a market out there if somebody would supply a serious camera to show the film at it’s best.
here in the North, you can find them in the major Pharmacy chains....
I do agree that choosing the CR2 batteries is not the smartest decision but I highly doubt the demographic buying this particular camera will refuse to buy it because of this point alone. Like you said it yourself, the majority of people who will purchase the SQ6 will be non professional and mostly female. These people are not interested in knowing more about photography, they just want to press a button and have ''instant'' gratification. I bet that they never heard about what's a PC sync port, hotshoe and all you said in your original comment. If Fuji didn't had Instax, these people would have never bought a camera in the first place. Popular mass products like this one will always outsell any specialized pro gear. It's the same with cars too.. the Corolla is a huge cash cow for Toyota compare to their more sporty 86 which is more into a niche market.
Both jonnyboy8000 and flakeu's opinions are valid, and I enjoyed your debates.
Hmmmm another toy camera agreed for people who have no passion or understanding of analog film principles.... no manual control, ..... teach people sunny 16 and bring us peel apart FPC Back !!!!!
Completely pointless! Just get a pocket printer for your phone and get better quality.
It's the exact same thing.
There needs to be an optical path from the lens to the film.
This is just a bad digital optical printer with a camera attached.
Those CR2 batteries are a mistake surely?
Alexandra Starr Photography I agree. It boggles my mind that most of their cameras use AA and the Mini 90 even has rechargeable but they decide to slap CR2 batteries in an $130 camera??
My old polaroid snap had a built in rechargeable, it worked just fine, so what was fuji thinking when they decied to go with ancient CR2's? I am sure these CR2's corrode quite badly too if left inside for long periods, my old canon av-1 had a cr2 powering it and after looking at the camera after a few years neglect, the battery compartment was corroded and nasty. camera unusable unless i replaced the entire battery compartment. What an oversight on fuji's part!
Alexandra Starr Photography Oh wow! I still want the camera because I love the square format but was not impressed with the SQ10. Maybe I'll look into some reliable rechargeable CR2 batteries.
100% a deal breaker in me buying this camera. I hated having to search for CR2s for an old film camera meter. Not impossible to find, but I can't go on vacation and buy a bunch either. They should have included a rechargeable battery or AAs.
