Fujifilm's new Instax Mini 12 cameras

The Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 is the type of gift a lot of people secretly wish to receive (I know I do). It’s useful, lighthearted, and brings playfulness back into photography. This Mother’s Day, celebrate your mom with a gift that will keep on giving and will allow her to make memories for years to come. Read on to learn more about Fujifilm’s new instant camera and how to enter for a chance to win one.

Give your mom the gift of memories

Big or small, there are many moments worth immortalizing with a photo. From overseas trips to graduations and walks in the park, moms tend to be the ones behind the camera—capturing those unique experiences to share with the whole family. If your mom likes taking photos or scrapbooking, show her how much she means to you this Mother’s Day with a gift, like the Instax Mini 12, that will give her more tools to play with. This Mother’s Day gift guide will give you many ideas for presents that will not only make it easier for her to capture events, but also more fun to share them with family and friends.

Bring playfulness into her life

Instant cameras provide an experience no other cameras can give you: the instant joy of seeing the photo develop before your eyes—just moments after it was taken. In a world where most of our photos live on a screen, the experience is even more special. Their simplicity and ease of use is also part of their charm. Just press the shutter button and wait to see how the photo will turn out! No previewing images or editing required. Instant cameras keep you in the moment. And, unlike with their digital counterparts, you only have a limited number of photos available, which makes every click more valuable. Luckily, the Instax Mini 12 is packed with features that will ensure you capture every instant perfectly.

Twist the lens and smile!

The Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 produces credit card-sized prints. It boasts an automatic flash control to optimize image quality in both bright and low light conditions, so you get great results with every click. You can take photos in auto mode by twisting the lens once to turn the camera on, or in close-up mode by twisting the lens again. One of the main new features in the Mini 12 is parallax compensation, which aligns the camera’s viewfinder with the lens in close-up mode to help you center objects. Rae Chen recently reviewed the Instax Mini 12, so make sure to read her review to learn more about the camera’s features and what it’s like to take photos with it.
