FUJIFILM instax mini 12 Instant Camera Lilac Purple | 16806133
Easy analog instant photography with automatic exposure, close-up framing and a built-in selfie mirror.
The FUJIFILM instax mini 12 Instant Camera Lilac Purple is designed around a simple instant-photo workflow rather than menu-heavy camera operation. Its verified Lilac Purple finish identifies this exact variant.
It uses instax mini film and is intended for users who value a tangible print at the moment of capture. The controls and shooting aids listed here are based on the manufacturer specifications for this model.
Ideal For
Social moments
Simple point-and-shoot operation for parties, gatherings and everyday snapshots.
Selfies & close-ups
A built-in selfie mirror and dedicated Close-up mode help with near subjects.
Physical-photo fans
Uses credit-card-sized instax mini film for a direct print-first experience.
Key Features
Automatic Exposure
Shutter speed and flash brightness are adjusted automatically to ambient light.
Close-Up Mode
Twist the lens again to work at approximately 0.3 to 0.5 metres.
Parallax Correction
Close-up framing is corrected so the subject is positioned more accurately in the print.
Selfie Mirror
The front mirror helps line up self-portraits before pressing the shutter.
Fast Ejection
The print ejects in about five seconds after the shutter is pressed.
AA Power
Runs on two AA alkaline batteries for convenient replacement.
Simple from the first frame
The mini 12 is deliberately uncomplicated. Its twist-to-use lens barrel powers the camera on and switches into Close-up mode, while automatic exposure removes the need to set shutter or flash values manually.
Made for instax mini film
The camera records onto instax mini film, producing a 62 × 46 mm image area inside the familiar credit-card-sized sheet. Film develops after ejection, with development time affected by ambient temperature.
How It Compares
Compared with the hybrid mini Evo, the mini 12 is a purely analog instant camera: it does not store digital image files or print smartphone photos. Its appeal is the direct shoot-and-print workflow.
The Verdict
Strengths
- Very simple analog operation
- Automatic exposure and flash control
- Dedicated close-up and selfie aids
Considerations
- instax mini film is sold separately
- No digital preview or smartphone printing
- Close-up mode is intended for approximately 0.3–0.5 m
