Instax SQUARE SQ6

Instax Square SQ6 is the first instant analog camera to use Instax square film. Although SQ10 also uses it, SQ10 is basically a digital camera with an inbuilt printer, while Instax Square SQ6 is a fully analog camera. using the fixed aperture feature, fixed focal length lens, with fully automatic operation. It takes 2x CR2 battery, with estimated battery life of 30 packaged films (300 shots). Instax square film is 1.3x larger than Instax mini movie, with size 86x72mm. Available in three colors, Graphite Gray, Pearl White and Blush Gold. This camera is also much smaller than other analog cameras on the market today using Instax Square format film - Lomo'Instant Square. It's also much cheaper than Lomo'Instant Square as well.

When you turn on the camera, the front lens element extends from the camera body - the buttons on the top of the camera can be used to turn it on and off. To load Instax movies is very easy. all you have to do is open the back door and mark the yellow mark on the movie package with a fairly clear notch on the camera body.

It would be fair to say that Instax Square SQ6 is not the most ergonomic camera in the world, but there is a handle on the back of the camera (which holds 2x CR2 batteries). It's a bit awkward to hold because there's no place for your second hand to actually leave because the lens is blocking. While the battery provided with the camera can not be recharged, since the set is rated to have about 300 shots - it's 30 packets, or 270. very often anyway. Interestingly, the ergonomics of the camera may be a little better as you hold it to face forward to take a selfie photo, maybe Instax feels more important to make it easy to use when shooting a swafoto than others.

Although the camera is pretty much automatic, there are several different shooting modes that you can choose from. To do so, you can press the Mode button on the back of the camera. You'll see a number of icons on the top of the camera that have LED indicators to show you which mode you're using. Here you will find A (auto), selfie mode, macro mode, landscape mode, multiple exposure, dark and light.
