Fujifilm instax mini 99 Instant Camera

The Fujifilm instax mini 99 brings a little more creativity to instant photography, without losing the simple pleasure of watching a photograph appear in your hands.

With its classic black finish, tactile dials and vintage-inspired design, it looks and feels like a camera you'll actually want to take everywhere. But it's what you can do with it that makes things interesting.

Unlike most instant cameras, the mini 99 gives you a little more say in how your photographs turn out.

There's a dedicated Colour Effect Dial with six different looks, including warm tones, faded greens, soft magenta and even a light leak effect. These aren't digital filters added afterwards. The camera uses internal LED lighting to introduce colour directly onto the film during exposure.

You can also adjust the brightness, switch on a vignette for darker edges or experiment with double exposures to put two moments into the same frame.

And if you're just after a good photograph of your friends, your travels or whatever's happening around you, you can keep things straightforward and let the camera handle the exposure.

That's the charm of the mini 99. It can be as simple or as playful as you want it to be.

Every photograph is made on real instax mini film, giving you a physical print to keep, share or stick somewhere you'll see it again.

A lovely choice for anyone who enjoys the hands-on side of photography and wants a little more room to experiment.

Best for

Instant photography, everyday moments, travel, parties, portraits, creative colour effects, double exposures and photographers who want more control than a basic instant camera offers.

What to expect

The instax mini 99 is a fully analogue instant film camera.

There is no digital sensor, image preview or option to choose which photographs to print. Every time you take a photograph, the camera exposes and ejects one sheet of instax mini film.

The Colour Effect Dial lets you explore six different looks, while the brightness controls and vignette switch give you more ways to shape the final photograph.

For everyday shooting, automatic exposure keeps things approachable. When you're feeling creative, double exposure and bulb modes open up more possibilities.

The prints are the familiar instax mini size, small enough to carry in your wallet or give to someone on the spot.

Fujifilm instax mini film is sold separately unless specifically included in the package.

Developing

The camera uses Fujifilm instax mini instant film.

Each photograph develops automatically after being ejected from the camera, with the image appearing gradually over approximately 90 seconds, depending on temperature.

No separate film developing service is required.
