FUJIFILM LAUNCHES NEW INSTAX CAMERAS AND ACCESSORIES INCLUDING INSTAX SQUARE SQ20, A NEW HYBRID INSTANT FILM CAMERA FOR A WIDE VARIETY OF CREATIVE POSSIBILITIES
Introducing new features to the instax line of instant photography to capture every important moment.
Mississauga, Ontario, September 24, 2018 – FUJIFILM North America Corporation announced today the arrival of its new instax SQUARE SQ20, a sophisticated square format hybrid instant film camera that combines digital imaging technology with square film prints. Also announced today are new colors for the instax SQUARE SQ6–Ruby Red and Aqua Blue–and new instax Double Sided Stickers that allow users to stick instax film quickly and easily to a multitude of surfaces.
1. instax SQUARE SQ20
As a hybrid instant camera, equipped with a digital image sensor and digital image processing technology, the SQ20 offers users the ability to select their favorite images to print. Users can even edit and apply various filters. Using the 1:1 aspect ratio, instax SQUARE film allows for more capture of the scene in a single photo, delivering exceptional image quality with numerous artistic expressions.
“We are excited to bring the new instax SQUARE SQ20 to the market”, said Manny Almeida, President of the Imaging Division at FUJIFILM North America Corporation. “This hybrid instant camera allows for a wide variety of photographic expressions applied to the same image, providing people an opportunity to expand their creative capabilities with instax more than ever before.”
New Features Added for Enhanced Image Capture
For the first time in instax instant photography, the SQ20 introduces the motion mode. Utilizing a dial on the back of the camera, users can take a video of up to 15 seconds and choose the best moment of a moving subject to print, which can often times be difficult to capture.
The new time shift collage function lets SQ20 users take 4 images at one time with a time difference by pushing a single button. The time difference between images can be personalized and adjusted by 0.2 seconds up to 2.0 seconds. The sequence filter offers the ability to capture dynamic images, adding a dreamy feel to the image. For added usability when taking selfies, a small mirror is located next to the lens to ensure accurate capture. Further, group photos are made easy with the SQ20’s built in timer.
Choose Which Image to Print & Edit before Printing
With this hybrid instant camera, photographers at all levels can select the images they would like to print and even edit pictures. The SQ20 has 16 different filters that can be applied to both still images and videos.
Available in Two Stylish Colors
Stylish and easy-to-hold, the SQ20 is available in two color options–matte black and glossy beige–making for a chic shooting companion.
Shooting Modes for Various Photographic Expressions
With its special shooting modes, the SQ20 achieves added creative possibilities. With double exposure, users can superimpose two images on a single film by simply pressing the shutter button twice. Bulb exposure mode is used to capture long exposures at night as well as light trails, while the split mode allows for two images to print on a single film.
