7 Tips For Using the Fujifilm Instax Wide 300
I've wasted so much film 😅 but hey the more you know
Instax mini 11 looks the prettiest
What does it mean by single use camera? We can use ot only one time or what ?
"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.
The film pack is stuck in mine
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.
Thanks, gretings from Turkey. I love the Philippines so much, I knew at first looked that you are a Filipino. Greetings :)
This happened to my camera thanks so much! Is the chemicals dangerous at all? some went on my hands
It's a little caustic. Might irritate skin but probably will be ok if you washed it off immediately.
Ikaw ang tagapaligtas ng camera ko! Huhu... mrming slamt boss.
This is what I get for stocking up on film and then losing them for 4 years 😮💨. Really appreciate the walkthrough, attempting to clean my printer now!
thank uu so muchhh
love this type of video!
where do you get the Fujitsu batteries? they're cheap for alkalines
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.
Thank you so much, it saved my instax.. I just saw it now and tried it immediately, and it works! ❤
I think this is the problem I’m having with my Instax mini. I have one question though. Is it possible to remove the main cover on the film case? I have no way of inserting used film back into the case because of the plastic cover and I’ve found no way to remove it so far. Thank you!
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!
I got mine at a thrift store but confuse if it works or not.i placed a battery to test if it works but didn't see any lights on or i have to put a film 1st before it turns on?
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.
Thanks for these tips!
Hi! May i know is this method can be used on my Instax Mini 11? 🥹
Yes, same method will work on the 11
@@GoneWithFilm Thanks a million! It's work well and my camera can turn on like usual 🙌🏻😍
Please correct me if I'm wrong but is the foil not a fire hazard? (Science wasn't one of my better subjects in high school.)
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.
Thank you for being one of the only people to do tips and tricks and not just explain how to put the batteries in. 🙄This was extremely informative and will 100% save me from wasting film. 🙃I’m sure I’ll be coming back to this video a few times before I naturally get the hang of it, but again, thanks🎉
Thank you 🙏
what about full white pictures?
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
Thank you so much
Sir paanu po dalawa po ung na stock na film paanu po un sir😢
i have a pack that expired in 2021, purchased in 2019, they have been stored in my closet, but i live in ghana (west africa) its decently hot. a few came out ok, but the rest have been all white, like the one you showed, is there no way to save them? i have a whole other pack of 20 films that i don't want to throw out - please help
❤❤
thank you so much this really helped
Hello, I wanna ask you, how about to clean instax mini liplay? Please help me
this photos make me a little bit nostalgic in the good way
that's a fantastic tip, thank you
Hello ! What do you say about putting together a real polaroid back for the RB with an Instax camera ? How about the instax square ?
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.
Thank you so much! I was about to give up on my camera because it wont turn on and thanks to your tips i got it to work again! 😭💗
WHERE IS THE MODEL NUMBER???
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.
Thank you. I was trying to figure out why my camera makes dark photos. I used rechargable 1.2V batteries instead 1.5V alkaline ones. I will check if that was the issue.
Hi is there any other solutions for the last problem (lens cover wont open)? Because my mini 11 lens only opened when I use the selfie mode.
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
Thanks a lot !
I wish I would have found this video before I saw the q-tip advice. I’ve completely jammed my rollers and now I’m going to have to get inside of my camera and make sure I pick everything out. Is there any way you could make a tutorial on how to get to the instax mini 8 rollers? I’m not having any luck finding tutorials for that.
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.
Now i can't decide to get between those two😂
Most people would choose the Evo, you already have other film cameras and a good digital camera, the cheaper Mini 12 would be fine.
Do you know if they share the exact same film sheets?
Yeah they use the same Instax Mini film.
its like iphone se 2 and se 3
Brilliant ... thanks
Omg thanks now it works 🎉 yay thank you thank you
I keep getting black films but everything that causes the problem here isn’t in my camera I used eight batteries,nothing was blocked,right settings,new film etc and the pictures appear black with foggy white before it turns pitch black
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
Thank you so much for your video. My camera has been chugging on since 2017 and the film got stuck halfway through for the very first time today, I was at a loss on what to do.
Thanks I don’t have much film left and needed some help
Thank you so much. Thought I had lost my instax camera but you saved it. 🫶🏼
Hello, I made sure my camera shutter was open but my photos still turned out all black. Could there be any other reason why?
possibly shutter failure or there's something causing the shutter itself to not open
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
So now it's 2k24 can I use 2020-12 ones
comprehensive!
Great summary, thanks!
I can’t even get the film out of the camera
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.
