Cautions During Printing

FUJIFILM-99-Mini-Insrax-Instant-Camera-fig-49

Handling of INSTAX MINI Instant Film and Photos
For details on the handling of film and photos, see the instructions written on the FUJIFILM INSTAX MINI instant film packaging.

  1. Keep film in a cool place. In particular, do not leave film in an extremely hot place, such as in a closed motor vehicle, for a long period of time.
  2. Do not make a hole in film or tear or cut film. Do not use damaged film.
  3. Use film as soon as possible after inserting it in the camera.
  4. If film has been kept in a place where the temperature is extremely low or high, allow it to become accustomed to a normal temperature before taking photos.
  5. Be sure to use the film before the expiration or “Use Before” date on the instant film package.
  6. Avoid checked luggage inspection at the airport and other strong X-ray exposure. Unused film is susceptible to the effect of fogging, etc. We recommend that you carry film onto aircraft in carryon luggage (check with the relevant airport for more information).
  7. Avoid exposing instant photos to strong light, and store them in a cool and dry place.
  8. Do not cut, peel apart or puncture new or newly used instant print film. Film contains a small amount of highly caustic paste; paste can remain active up to 10 minutes after instant photo ejects. Be especially careful not to let infants or pets put the film into their mouth. Paste should not come into contact with skin or clothes.
  9. If you accidentally touch the paste of unused INSTAX MINI instant print film, immediately wash it off with plenty of water. If the paste comes into contact with the eyes or mouth, wash the area and then seek medical attention. The alkalinity of INSTAX MINI instant film will weaken approximately 10 minutes after the instant photo is ejected from the camera.
  10. Do not store instant photos in a sealed bag, as this may cause discoloration.
  11. Do not touch the image during development time

The Battery
The following describes the proper use of the battery and how to prolong its life. Incorrect use can shorten battery life or cause leakage, overheating, fire, or explosion.
The battery is not charged at shipment. Charge the battery completely before use.

Notes on the Battery
The battery gradually loses its charge when not in use. Charge the battery one or two days before use. Battery life can be extended by turning the camera off when not in use.

The battery does not however need to be fully discharged before charging.The battery may be warm to the touch immediately after charging or use. This is normal.

Battery Life
At normal temperatures, the battery can be recharged about 300 times. A noticeable decrease in the length of time the battery will hold a charge indicates that it has reached the end of its service life and should be replaced. Obtain replacement battery only from Fujifilm.

Storage
Performance may be impaired if the battery is left unused for extended periods when fully charged. Deplete the battery fully before storing it. If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery and store it in a dry place with an ambient temperature of from +59 °F to +77 °F (+15 °C to +25 °C).
