"Disposable" or "single use" cameras are designed to be used for 1 roll of film. Once the film roll is finished, the camera is then given to the photography lab for developing of the film and recycling of the camera by the manufacturer. The manufacturer is supposed to take them back and reload them and sell them as new. The Funsaver, however, can be reloaded by the end user but it's not an easy process and you'll need a darkroom or film changing bag.

Only options left are to 1) destroy the film pack from the back using a cutting tool like diagonal pliers or 2) disassemble the camera and remove the stuck film from the rollers

@@GoneWithFilm my mother was able to break it out, we put a new pack in to check if it was fixed and we encountered the same issue with the black piece that comes out at the beginning of a pack. We got that pack out as well and that pack was proper stuck in, we think it's gonna need a check up from someone well versed in camera's.

It's a little caustic. Might irritate skin but probably will be ok if you washed it off immediately.

I bought them online (I'm in the Philippines) from a store called Baterya.Ph. I'm not sure if they're easily available in other countries but the regular, non premium Fujitsu alkalines are on Amazon. I've used both versions for years on multiple Instax cameras with great results.

If the film pack is already empty, it's easier to reload the pack if you remove the shiny black tape on the slot that the film comes out of. It is possible to sort of dismantle the whole case-it snaps together but you'll need a lot of force to do it.

@@GoneWithFilm I saw your comment but forgot to respond! I was able to get to film into the case:) Thank you!

It should work without film. Check the battery contacts and compartment for battery residue-old instax cameras were often left with batteries inside and corroded terminals are common.

Yes, same method will work on the 11

@@GoneWithFilm Thanks a million! It's work well and my camera can turn on like usual 🙌🏻😍

Well the foil will need a pretty large voltage and current to to make it hot enough to catch fire-the batteries only provide about 6 volts in total. I wouldn't worry too much about a fire hazard. Using foil is a just a quick hack though and it's always better to use proper springs for a stronger, longer lasting repair.

I had the same issue but I found out why. Once you place in a new set of film in the camera, your first picture will be that black cover that covers the film. This black prevents the film to be exposed to light. After you print out the black cover, DO NOT open the lid and DO NOT pull out the film because it will be exposed to light. If your film is exposed to light, then all of your films will turn white. So do not open the lid of your camera once you place in new film

There's conversion kit available online to use Polaroid originals film. As for instax square yes it's the best fit for the RB. I'm in the middle of making one but it's a bit harder. Will post a video once it's finished.

The original Mini 7 has the model in front, although some versions or colors don't have any model name or number at all. The Mini 7s has the model name on the top plate. The Mini 7+ has the name in front. Also, all the model names and numbers are painted on so if a camera has been well used, the number may not be visible or be rubbed off.

Try pulling it out manually, it should come out with a little pull of the lens. If not, there might be some sort of jam or a problem with the spring and the whole lens cover assembly would need to be disassembled and reassembled.

Hello you probably have fixed it by now but the lens cover opens on the second layer popping up, the third layer is selfie mode and the third layer is alot harder to pop out

Look for any mini 8 disassembly videos and make sure you understand the risks of doing so because its not easy. Basic procedure is to remove the casing screws, pry open the 2 plastic casings to reveal the camera chassis. 2 tension springs hold the rollers together, remove them by taking out 2 long silver screws. You can take out the rollers for cleaning after that.

Most people would choose the Evo, you already have other film cameras and a good digital camera, the cheaper Mini 12 would be fine.

Yeah they use the same Instax Mini film.

If it's a Mini 8 or 9, on the older ones the shutter starts to fail and produces black photos even if it's not blocked

possibly shutter failure or there's something causing the shutter itself to not open

In that case the only choice is to have the camera disassembled OR as others have mentioned in the comments, try your luck by destroying/cutting the film pack from the back.
