It's worth noting that the automatic flash fires every time a photo is taken. Fujifilm have improved the flash so that it adjusts the power automatically, even in Close-up mode, so that you just the right amount of light without overexposing the photo.

Conclusion

The good news is having dark images can be fixable for the future by following the each suggestion below: The Camera Lens is Dirty It can be frustrating when are ready to take an image and your Instax Mini 11 won’t take an image in the moment. Here are 4 main reasons why your Instax Mini 11 won’t take photos: When taking shots, you'll also need to be aware of where your hands are holding the camera because you really don't want to obstruct either the built-in flash or crucially the auto exposure (AE) light and Flash Light sensors, both of which are found above the lens.

On the lens itself is a mirror that can be used as a guide for selfies. The selfie mirror is a surprisingly helpful aid, but again because of the lens position you'll consciously need to tweak of angle of the camera to frame yourself in the centre. And with the camera turned on you, those tweaks are reversed as you look at the camera.Lastly, it’s possible that your film has expired or has something wrong with it. Because of the way Instax Instant film develops , sometimes the chemicals in the film become expired or lose their potency. This can happen if the Instax film is expired or if the Instax film was not stored correctly . It is possible that the camera has not been properly turned on and, therefore, won’t take any images. Turn the camera by pressing the large button on the bottom right of the front of the camera below the camera lens. When this button is pressed, the camera lens will pop out and extend. A second, much smaller twisting action of the lens barrel then puts the lens into Close-up mode, which changes the close focus distance to 0.3-0.5m. Otherwise, the focus range is from 0.5m to infinity. Auto exposure and indeed wider exposure brightness parameters means more shots across a range of scenarios come out right. Also, remember to replace the batteries only while the power is turned on or the lens is extended in the Instax Mini 9. If you replace the batteries while the power is turned off (the lens is fully in the camera) the lamps on the brightness adjustment dial will blink after turning on the power even with new batteries.

Landscape format is more accommodating, but it's a little more awkward to hold the camera and operate the shutter release button in this orientation.If you are shooting an inanimate object like food, you can enhance its composition by adding in a few props. Still-life photography is best done by grouping together items with a similar theme. For instance, you would need to arrange a pair of reading glasses with a book. Also, avoid overwhelming your shot with a lot of props as this can lead to detracting the focal point of your image. It’s happened to many of us: you’re out taking photos when suddenly your Instax stops working for no apparent reason. Maybe the lights start flashing on the brightness adjustment dial, or the red light beside the viewfinder won’t go off. You might even find that the camera won’t turn on at all. The easiest fix for all of these causes for having a blurry image using an Instax Mini 11, is your lens is simply dirty and/or smudged. To fix this issue use a lint-free or microfiber cloth made for glasses or camera lenses to clean the lens. Depending on how bad the issue is, you may need to also use a liquid cleaner made for glasses . Another reason that your images from the Instax Mini 11 is blurry because you are too close or far away from your subject while in normal mode (10.8 ft – Infinity or 0.3m – Infinity) or either too close or far away from your subject while in selfie mode (10.8 inches – 1.6 ft or 0.3m to 0.5m). It is important to keep your subject within the focus range for each camera mode (normal mode or selfie mode) so your image will be in focus.

Because when you’re this close, there’s no room for error. The Instax Mini 8 came out in November of 2012 and was an big update to the Instax Mini 7s.
