- This is a tutorial video which includes the photos/videos I have taken from my mini 90 and tips on how to take them with comparing to a smartphone camera.
This does not have any introduction to the mini 90 or its functions, unboxing or how to set it up.
I'm not an expert on the camera, but these are things I learnt so far from the camera.
Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoyed the video and learned something new from this video. Share and like this video if you think this was good and useful to another as well.
Part two : • Fujifilm Instax mini 9...
wow this is super helpful, plus your photos and videos are so nice to look at. the smartphone comparisons are a great detail that I would never have even thought of--particularly for someone like me, who's so used to using her phone to take photos that I can hardly imagine anything else. I've never used an instant camera before but I'm planning on trying the mini 90. it would be so easy to make the mistake of picking it up and pointing/shooting like I would with my phone, but your tips really make me rethink that. thank you veeeeery much!
clued up glad that I was able to help! thank you so much for watching!
Such a helpful video! Please make more :)
Derika Charles thank you for watching and support! Will definitely make more once I get enough snaps again :)
Clearly a lot of effort was put into the video. Appreciate the comparisons between shots taken on a smartphone vs the instax. Just unpacked my instax 90 and I'm thrilled to apply these tips! Would love to see more videos from you.
I'm glad you liked it
This is really helpful, thank you for the effort
just bought one along w/ a nifty case and photo album! so excited for them to arrive and i will be using this video for help, thank you
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'.

One of the best explanatory videos out there. Good examples, good explanations and really useful.
Thanks a lot!
TOmasILiescu Glad that you found it useful :-) Thanks for watching!
The best specifications, samples and comparision video I've seen. Thank you!!!
I loved it! I have mine for one and a half year. But I don't know a lot cause I didn't get to experiment enough since the films are too expensive here in Brazil. I'm always searching for tips and your video was by far the best I've seen. Helpful tips and great explanation. Thank you!
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!
Really informative and helpful! Thank you!
Tomi Balta thank you for watching!
Nice video, this is going to help me to take beautiful pictures with my Instax Mini 90 :)
Anaïs Bataillard Thank you for watching and hope you take the best pictures out there :)
Best useful video all over the web about Instax mini 90!Thank you so much.
Other videos are waste of time, if you are thinking about cost of films and learn from another's experience about how to take best photo in first try.
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 :)
Thank you for sharing these tips! Very helpful!
Holden Caulfield thanks for watching!
damn! thank you for this. Very well thought out and executed - with the comparisons and labeling of the photos. Nice job. Can't wait to explore some of the more creative opportunities that the bulb and double exposure mode can present. You saved me money and really helped me to know what to expect, having only taken one shot so far. Cute pup and that picture of the lighted ball is super cool!
Thank you for watching
Your experience will help our experiments ! Thanks a lot :)
A super helpful video thank you so much
What a cute dog!
great video, thanks for that!
Hayden Bailey thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for this video!!
Goldy Pantaran I'm glad you found it helpful ❤
Really useful tips, thanks :)
Thanks for watching!
Great tips!! really helpful!
Do you have any tips on centering photos? I am still getting used to compensate the distance between the lens and the viewfinder.
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!
I tried to took a photo at my room which is the color of my lightning if yellow, then i took a photo using my instax mini 90 and use " L " afterwards, my photo came out in dark. Do i need to use a flash?
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!
Thanks for sharing
Wow you're a life saver! Thanks for the informative and very well organized video! If I could say one thing, maybe give a little more time for us to read the text, it was zooming by pretty fast. Other than that, thank you very much!
Question- are there any obstacles I should avoid when shooting pictures of snow and also being outside in cold weather (about 20-30 degrees Fahrenheit)
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!
Such a great video! Do you have any tips on how capturing a photo during night time? And i still confused when i should use D/L/L+ mode. Thanks!
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 want to purchase a good camera that I can take good pictures with but, have it look kinda vintage in a way. I was thinking about getting the mini 90, mini 8, mini 9, mini 11 or the SQ1 Which one or ones do you recommend? Also great video!:)
Good job!
Ssss Chen Thanks fot watching! :)
Good video, thanks :)
MuchycZ Thank you for watching :)
wow thanks for these tips! I don't have to waste much films 😂 however I still struggle to use L L+ D mode 😩
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!
did you use flash when taking the pictures of the beach while having it on D or landscape mode? and on macro did you use flash? im still trying to figure out how to take better pictures on my neo 90. thank you for the video.
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!

I just bought this camera a few days ago, and I’m trying to take a pictures with my friends yesterday and wasting a lot of paper because the pictures comes out bad and i didn’t find a perfect mode cause i still didn’t understand how it works. And i wanted to asked you, what mode is suitable if you want to take a group pictures with timer and to take a portrait of yourself? And what situation is when we take a picture without any mode? I really looking forward for your reply, thank you.
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! :)
This was really helpful. I bought myself an Instax about a month ago. I appreciate how you took the video with the pics. Its something I started doing myself. Just looking at the pics later, its hard to sort out what the scene actually looked like and what settings I chose.
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!
Perfect - thank you so much. I hope this will save me some fucked up pictures since they are not very cheap. :-) love the pictures of your dog - so cute!
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!
For sunrise shots while using “L” mode, do I keep the flash on
- 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!
Can anyone tell me how to properly use the Bulb mode? Shall I press the capture button twice and ensure the second press under 10 sec after or simply hold the capture button for a certain period of time?
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!
Hi! is a normal photo taken with "fujifilm instax" sign on vertical position?
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!
What is note 5??!
Taylor Seeley Note 5 is short for Samsung Galaxy Note 5, it's the phone I used to take the photos for comparison :)
