Physically pulling it further moves it into selfie mode, which is meant for shooting between 0.3 and 0.5m – use it for anything closer and the results will be very blurry, so don't think you can treat it like a macro lens. The spring-loaded lens barrel pops up once the release button is pressed.
Fixed f/12.7 lens has 60mm focal length.As with the Mini 11, it's slightly off-centre to the lens, so what you see through it isn't entirely representative of the final print.Ī small window in the rear door shows how many shots you have remaining in the currently loaded pack, which should prevent wasted shots by opening the film door early. The viewfinder sits to the right of the flip-out rear door, which is where you insert packs of film. You won't even find a tripod thread on the bottom of the body. The built-in flash is automatic and can't be disabled, even in bright sunlight, so you really do just point and shoot. There are only two buttons, which are both found on the front face: one extends the lens barrel, the other releases the shutter. Held vertically, the Mini 40 is light enough to use comfortably with one hand, and the rubberized thumb rest provides plenty of support. It's slightly smaller than the Mini 11, but still not small enough to fit in a pocket – you'll need to look to hybrid instant cameras like the Canon ZoeMini or Fuji's own Mini LiPlay if portability is key.
The design is clearly influenced by the more expensive Fujifilm Instax Mini 90, but while this model is considerably less expensive and made almost entirely from plastic, it manages to avoid feeling cheap. It may be mechanically identical to the Mini 11, but the Mini 40's faux leather finish and silver trim details give it a more mature appearance.
