About the Product

The SQ40 operates with straightforward simplicity: load the film, aim, and shoot.

Faqs:

What is the main difference between the Instax Mini and the Instax Square SQ40?

The main difference is the film format. The Instax Mini cameras use a rectangular, credit-card sized print, while the SQ40 uses a larger, perfect square format (62 millimeter x 62 millimeter photo screen size), offering a different, often preferred, aesthetic for photography.

Is the INSTAX Square film included with the rental?

No, the film is sold separately. You must purchase INSTAX Square film packs in addition to the rental. Please note that we restrict film sales to a maximum of 10 packs per rental camera due to stock limitations.

How do I take a close-up photo or selfie?

The close-up/selfie mode is activated by simply pulling the lens out from the main body. This adjusts the lens for sharp focus between 0.3 meter and 0.5 meter, perfect for taking self-portraits using the small mirror next to the lens or close-up shots of objects.

How long do the batteries last?

The SQ40 uses two CR2 lithium batteries, which provide excellent longevity. Under manufacturer’s test conditions, the battery life is rated for approximately 30 film packs, meaning you can shoot about 300 photos before needing new batteries.
