Fujifilm Instax Pal specifications

The Fujifilm Instax Pal digital camera is a unique offering by the company. It does not have a viewfinder or an inbuilt photo printer, which just leaves a pocket-sized camera. The instant film device features a 1/5-inch CMOS sensor with a primary colour filter, a flash, a tiny speaker that gives the shutter sound, a microSD card slot, power button, photo mode button, and a USB-C Type charging port.

The camera has an aperture of f/2.2 and a shooting sensitivity from ISO100 to ISO1600. The shutter speed varies between 1/4 second to 1/8000 second, and switches automatically.

There are two modes in the camera. The Standard Mode, activated by pressing the shutter button on the rear panel utilises a wide-angle lens to click photos independently. In this mode, the digital camera can hold a maximum of 50 photos without a microSD card. Then there is a Remote Mode, where the Instax Pal connects with a smartphone via Bluetooth and can remotely click pictures using the Instax Pal app which are directly sent to the phone.

The companion app comes with its own set of features. It allows users to create custom shutter sounds, add filters, text, and stickers to the photos, and more. The device takes 2-3 hours to fully charge.
