  • When learning how to use the fuji instax SQ6, it's important to understand the focusing distance for each mode. If you're in the right mode for the situation, the images come out great! Just be sure to disable flash when it's not needed and don't forget to compose your shot in the top right corner when using macro mode.

    I must admit, I haven't used an instant camera since I was a little kid but boy is it fun haha, I can't wait to actually use it on a photoshoot! The experience of shooting on film is completely different knowing every time you press the shutter button, that's it! And the "wait and see" part of instant film is very exciting.

      Yessss! I had never used one until I got the instax mini 90 in February and fell in love and even decided to start an instant photography business (IG;FB;TWITTER: @instaxsandra) and people love it!!

    I want to grow by exploring, appreciating and treasuring all the moments of my life. I badly want to have an instant camera but as of now, my parents won't allow me because its too expensive. Its so nice to look back and remember how we choose to fight and be happy in life. Instax camera will always have special place in my heart. God bless you more for allowing everyone to be happy and pursuing their pasion.

    Such a helpful video! Great to see the general conditions, your thought process for the snaps, then the outcome - pretty much all the videos I've watched otherwise just have the end result with very little showing how the camera performed to get there. Thanks!

    Lighten & darken modes default to auto (focus range .5-2m). I use neutral density gels and shoot in landscape (2m to inf.). I use a Roscolux gel #397 (1/2 stop) over the lens to darken and over the light sensor to lighten.#97=1 stop. Buy a Roscolux swatch book for about $10. I use removable double sided tape to attach the gels.

    best video review so far i've watched for the Fuji SQ6. The only thing I missed to consider it complete was trying the double exposure and maybe the color flash filters ... that would be nice! Great photos and great job though!

    I like your review and feeling lucky that I was able to get one just before the SQ1 was launched. Meanwhile the SQ6 is discontinued and only the SQ1 remains which lacks all controls.

  • @leighann5308
    @leighann5308 Před 4 měsíci

    Great video thank you. Is it better to turn flash on or off for selfies?

    • @erwinmarionneaux
      @erwinmarionneaux  Před 4 měsíci

      Really just depends on the environment and the style of shot you’d like to get. If it’s too dark then you might want to use flash since you wouldn’t be able to see anything. If you have plenty of light, you can still choose to use flash if you’re going for that look or you can opt for a natural light look

  • @David_Drills
    @David_Drills Před 3 lety +2

    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!

    • @Verdoux007
      @Verdoux007 Před 3 lety

      The focusing range is the same in auto, double exposure and lighten and darken modes (0,5 m - 2 m).

    • @mewmew1132
      @mewmew1132 Před rokem

      Selfie mode adjust so that the mirror in front is how the person will be framed. Macro mode u need the dot to be on the top right corner so that the subject will be centered

  • @PalKrammer
    @PalKrammer Před rokem

    One functional difference between the SQ6 and Mini 90 is that on the Mini 90 you can choose to lighten and darken independently of focus distance (macro, intermediate, distant), whereas with the SQ6 if you choose macro or distance, there’s no way to specify lighten or darken - doing so will take you off your distance selection. Regardless, the SQ6 is wonderful.

    can anyone help? i am debating between this camera (sq6) and the recent polaroid now, which would be the better choice?

    • @erwinmarionneaux
      @erwinmarionneaux  Před 3 lety +5

      They are both pretty similar. As with most film work, the biggest differences will be in the type of film they use. I was gonna go with the Polaroid camera because of the prints being bigger but the film isn’t as consistent I’d like it to be. Sometimes it’s great! Sometimes weird things happen. The Fujifilm was more consistent in the results so that’s why I went with the sq6.

      ​@@sineysantiago481 Hi! I was also deciding between the Polaroid Now and the Instax sq6 and I'm going with the sq6 for the same reason. I love the Polaroid prints because of how large they are, but they're expensive and I'm new to instant film -- figured it would be safer to go with the sq6 for the consistency/reliability factor. If I get really into instant film, I might get a Polaroid in the future!

      @@erwinmarionneaux I have a xt1 but I only use manual lens for it. I got my hands on a vintage sigma 28mm 2.8, fujinon 100mm 2.8 and Canon fd 135mm F2.8 prime lens. An automatic lens is the last I need on a fujifilm camera. Plus film recipes are really dope.
