Fujifilm Brings the Joy and Creativity With its New Instax Mini 12 Instant Camera

Company Also Unveils Instax Up! Smartphone App

VALHALLA, N.Y. -- Fujifilm North America Corp., Imaging Division, has announced the introduction of its Instax Mini 12 Instant Camera. Following in the footsteps of the popular Instax Mini 11 Instant Camera launched in 2020, Mini 12 brings a new look and enhanced features for instant photographers, including parallax correction capabilities, automatic flash control and a convenient multi-function twist lens.

With an airy, cloud-like and almost "inflated" design/look, Mini 12 carries over the main features of Mini 11, including Close-Up Mode and Auto Exposure adjustment capabilities, but also adds the new Parallax Correction feature, in which the camera's viewfinder aligns with the lens when using Close-Up Mode, minimizing object shifts, to produce a centered photo. Mini 12 also features automatic flash control, which optimizes image quality in bright or low light situations. The lens structure is designed to provide intuitive steps both for powering the camera on/off and for accessing the popular Close-Up Mode with a simple twist of the lens.

"The Instax Mini 12 instant camera features a unique new design and a variety of appealing new color options," said Bing Liem, president, Imaging Division, Fujifilm North America Corp. "It includes many of our consumers' favorite features from the prior Mini 11 model, along with some new advancements that are sure to enhance our users' photographic experience. We're always impressed with the incredible creativity of our consumers and we can't wait to see what they create with the Mini 12!"
