Fujifilm Introduces Instax Mini 41 Instant Camera With Improved Selfie and Close-Up Quality

Fujifilm has announced a new instant camera, the Instax mini 41, which is the direct successor to the Instax mini 40. The new product promises increased performance compared to the previous generation model, as well as an improved close-up shooting mode with parallax correction.

The camera will allow you to take better, more centered close-ups, including selfies, thanks to the ability to adjust the position of the focus mark in the lower left corner of the frame. This feature is complemented by Selfie Mode, which first appeared in the Instax mini 40 and is designed for taking close-focus shots.

Also worth noting is the updated design of the Instax mini 41. The developers have retained the external features of its predecessor released in 2021, but have also made a number of changes, such as a textured insert that provides a more secure grip. The body is partially covered with a material resembling metal, and is also complemented by stylish orange accents. Like the Instax mini 40, the new Instax mini 41 has a retro-inspired design, but belongs to a different, later era.

The Instax mini 41 promises to be easy to use, even for beginner photographers. The camera has an automatic exposure function that automatically determines the light level when you press the shutter button, and also ensures the optimal shutter speed, flash power and overall exposure.

«“The Mini 41 is designed for photographers who value both form and function. The Mini 41 delivers everything our customers loved about the Mini 40, plus improved performance and a modern design. It’s easy to carry, easy to use, and matches the stylish aesthetic many users bring to their photography,” said Bing Liem, president of the Imaging Division, Fujifilm North America.

The Instax mini 41 camera is compatible with a variety of Fujifilm cartridges, including monochrome, multi-colored frames, and more. Each cartridge, which holds 20 photos, costs $16. The Instax mini 41 itself will go on sale this month, but its retail price has not yet been announced. This is likely due to Fujifilm continuing to assess the impact of the U.S. government’s new import tariffs.
