Main Features:

Gen Dial™

The mini Evo Cinema hybrid instant camera features a first for instax™ cameras - the Gen Dial™, which allows users to apply photo effects from 10 different eras to their image - from the grainy, pale tones of the 1930s, to the vibrant colors of the 1980s, to the sharp, rich imagery of the 2020s, each era is designed to capture the look and feel of the imagery of that time.

Degree Control Dial

Content created in each era can be fine-tuned with the Degree Control Dial. By simply rotating the dial to precisely adjust color, contrast, and noise expression, users can create up to 10 creative variations per era.

Frame Switch

Once an era is chosen and the intensity of the era is selected via the Degree Control Dial, users can continue to personalize by adding a frame to every shot or video clip utilizing the Frame Switch. There's a frame for every era, each paying homage to the characteristics, media, and playback devices that defined that time.

Cine/Still Mode

Users can easily switch between "Cine" and "Still" modes to capture either a video or photo, respectively, with ease. In Cine mode, users can shoot a series of clips - up to 15 seconds in total - and the camera will stitch them into one smooth video automatically. Via the free, downloadable instax mini Evo™ smartphone app, users can connect via Bluetooth® and extend video creations to 30 seconds by adding or reordering clips.
