   • The shutter button cannot be pressed while the flash is charging.

3. When the sound of the film being ejected stops, grasp the edge of the ejected film and take the film out.
   The film counter decreases in numerical order, counting down from “10” with each photo taken. “0” will be displayed when the film is finished and after the last photo has been taken.

Handling of instax SQUARE Film and Photos

4. Use film before the film expiration date referenced on the package.
5. Avoid airport checked luggage inspection and other strong X-ray exposure. Unused film is susceptible to  the effect of fogging, etc. We recommend that youcarry film onto aircraft in carry-on luggage (check with the relevant airport for more information).

7. Do not make a hole in film or tear or cut film. Do not use film that is damaged.
8. Do not cut or disassemble the film for this camera as it  contains black caustic alkali paste. Be especially carefulnot to let infants or pets put the film into their mouths. Also take care that the paste does not come into contact with skin and clothes.
9. If you accidentally touch the paste of unused 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.
