Fujifilm says it wants to reignite memories with its newly launched instax SQUARE SQ6 camera. 

The company launched the instant camera at a function held in Melrose Arch, Johannesburg on Wednesday.

With its on-the-spot photo printing ability, the SQ6 is the most affordable device in the instax SQUARE line-up, joining the popular SQ10 camera and SHARE SP-3 photo printer.

The SQ6 boasts a number of features including Automatic Exposure Control, where the flash calculates the surrounding brightness and adjusts shutter speed to capture both the subject and background with clarity.

The Selfie mode automatically adjusts brightness and focal length to the ideal setting, while the selfie mirror allows one to check the capture area in a mirror next to the lens.

 A Macro mode allows users to capture beautiful close-up images of subjects as close as 30cm, and the Landscape mode can be used to capture impressive scenic photos. Group photos are made easy with the built-in timer and the added tripod socket located at the bottom of the camera.

One of the most interesting features is the Double Exposure mode, which allows you press the shutter twice to capture an artistic shot with two images in the same print. 

To further help tap the well of creativity, Fujifilm includes three flash filters (orange, purple and green) to provide interesting colour effects for photos.

Deon Brits, Sales Manager for the Photographic Imaging Division of Fujifilm South Africa says Since instax has been introduced, South Africans have fallen in love with the idea of having actual physical photos printed there and then. 

“It brings backs memories, that when we are older we can go back and have a look at them. The range of people that use this is from 6 to 60 years old. It’s just bringing back what used to be there, and that is Fuji’s inspiration behind instax.

The Fujifilm instax SQUARE SQ6 camera is available from stores countrywide or online, and retails for a suggested R1999. Fujifilm instax SQUARE film can be purchased in packs of ten or 20, and is now available in not only white but also black frame borders.
