  • Selfie Mode for quicker and easier selfies. Users can activate the Selfie Mode, perfect for taking selfies and close-up shots, by simply pulling out the front-end edge of the lens after powering the camera on. This makes it incredibly easy and convenient to take selfies and close-up pictures.
  • INSTAX Mini Contact Sheet instant film. Also accompanying the launch of Mini 40 is new INSTAX Mini Contact Sheet instant film. An homage to classic film photography, the design of the new instant film is inspired by a photographer's contact sheet.
