FUJIFILM India has introduced the ultra-compact INSTAX Pal digital camera, part of their INSTAX line, marking their 25-year presence in the country. This tiny camera is designed for capturing moments on the go, aiming to “Make Small Moments Feel Big”.
The Pal camera features a 1/5-inch CMOS with primary color filter. Its Standard Mode, activated by pressing the shutter button, uses a wide-angle lens for unique shots from different perspectives. This allows users to capture dynamic images with detailed backgrounds, something often tricky with smartphones.
In terms of design, by removing the printing function, the company has made the INSTAX Pal palm-sized for better mobility. It includes a detachable ring for easier handling or to use as a stand.
Additionally, the Pal offers a Remote Mode, connecting to smartphones via Bluetooth through the INSTAX Pal App. Users can take selfies or group photos remotely and adjust photo sizes, add emojis, stickers, or text using the app. The Interval Mode captures continuous photos at three-second intervals.
The Pal can connect with INSTAX Link Printer Series and other INSTAX cameras for printing images. Users can also pair it with silicone cases that include a strap carabiner and a Link Mode switch for quick photo printing.
