Specifications & Features

Hybrid Digital & Instant Camera

The INSTAX Mini LiPlay differs from traditional analog INSTAX cameras by capturing photographs digitally before printing them.

This allows you to:

• Take multiple photographs
• Preview photographs before printing
• Select your preferred images
• Apply creative effects
• Print selected photographs
• Reprint previous images

This approach gives users greater control over their INSTAX Mini film usage.

1/5-inch CMOS Image Sensor

The LiPlay uses a 1/5-inch CMOS image sensor with a primary colour filter.

Captured images have a resolution of:

2560 × 1920 pixels

Images are recorded in JPEG format.

Because the photographs are stored digitally, users can review them on the LCD before deciding whether to produce a physical print.

28mm Equivalent f/2.0 Lens

The camera features a lens equivalent to approximately 28mm on a 35mm camera, paired with an f/2.0 aperture.

The relatively wide field of view is useful for:

• Group photographs
• Travel photography
• Parties
• Everyday snapshots
• Portraits
• Indoor photography
• Landscapes

Single Autofocus

The LiPlay features Single AF with an AF illuminator.

Its shooting range extends from approximately:

10cm to Infinity

The relatively short minimum focusing distance makes it possible to photograph smaller objects and subjects at close range.

2.7-inch Colour LCD

A 2.7-inch TFT colour LCD is positioned on the rear of the camera.

The display has approximately 230,000 dots and allows users to:

• Compose photographs
• Preview captured images
• Browse stored photographs
• Select images for printing
• Access camera settings
• Apply creative effects

Being able to review images before printing is one of the major advantages of the LiPlay over purely analog INSTAX cameras.

Fujifilm INSTAX Mini Instant Film

The LiPlay uses standard Fujifilm INSTAX Mini Instant Film.

Film dimensions are approximately:

• Film Size: 86 × 54mm
• Image Area: 62 × 46mm
• Exposures Per Standard Pack: 10

INSTAX Mini film is sold separately.

Approx. 12-Second Print Output

Once an image has been selected, the LiPlay takes approximately 12 seconds to output the print.

The physical INSTAX image then develops progressively after leaving the camera.

318 dpi Print Resolution

The LiPlay prints at approximately:

318 dpi

Print specifications include:

• 800 × 600 dots
• 12.5 dots/mm
• 80μm dot pitch
• 256 RGB gradation levels

This printing system is optimized specifically for the INSTAX Mini film format.

Select Photos Before Printing

One of the biggest advantages of the hybrid design is that the LiPlay does not require every photograph to be printed.

Users can capture an image, review it and decide whether it is worth using a sheet of INSTAX film.

This is especially useful at:

• Parties
• Weddings
• Holidays
• Family gatherings
• School events
• Social events
• Travel

Smartphone Photo Printing

The INSTAX Mini LiPlay can also function as a smartphone printer.

Using the compatible INSTAX Mini LiPlay smartphone app, users can send supported photos from their smartphone to the camera and print them onto INSTAX Mini film.

This means the LiPlay can produce physical prints from both:

• Photographs captured with the camera
• Photographs stored on a smartphone

Remote Shooting

The companion smartphone app supports remote shooting.

This allows a connected smartphone to act as a remote control for the camera.

Remote shooting is particularly useful for:

• Group photos
• Self-portraits
• Tripod photography
• Creative compositions

Sound-Enabled Photos

One of the LiPlay's distinctive features is its ability to associate recorded sound with an INSTAX photograph.

Sound can be recorded when taking or playing back an image.

The associated audio can then be represented through a QR code printed onto the photograph. Scanning the code with a compatible smartphone provides access to the associated sound.

This allows users to combine a physical photograph with a short voice message or ambient sound.

Creative Filters

The LiPlay includes digital filters that can be applied to photographs before printing.

Filters allow users to alter the appearance and mood of their images without requiring external editing software.

Creative Frames

Digital frames can also be applied to photographs.

Shortcut buttons on the camera provide quick access to selected frame designs, while additional frame functionality is available through the companion app.

Internal Storage

The LiPlay includes internal storage capable of holding approximately 45 images.

This means the camera can capture and retain photographs even without a memory card installed.

microSD & microSDHC Support

Storage can be expanded using compatible:

• microSD cards
• microSDHC cards

Approximately 850 images can be stored per 1GB of memory card capacity under Fujifilm's specified conditions.

This provides significantly more storage than the camera's internal memory.

Fast Electronic Shutter

The LiPlay uses an electronic shutter with automatic speeds ranging from:

1/4 second to 1/8000 second

The camera automatically selects the appropriate shutter speed based on shooting conditions.

ISO 100–1600

Sensitivity is automatically controlled between:

ISO 100 and ISO 1600

The camera automatically adjusts sensitivity according to available lighting.

Program AE

Exposure is controlled through Program AE, allowing the camera to automatically select appropriate settings.

Exposure compensation is available from:

-2.0 EV to +2.0 EV

in 1/3 EV increments.

This gives users some control over whether an image should appear brighter or darker.

Automatic White Balance

White balance is handled automatically.

The camera adjusts colour reproduction according to the lighting environment without requiring manual white-balance selection.

Built-In Flash

The integrated flash supports:

• Auto Flash
• Forced Flash
• Suppressed Flash

The effective flash shooting range is approximately:

0.5m to 1.5m

This gives users control over whether the flash should operate automatically, always fire or remain disabled.

2-Second & 10-Second Self-Timer

The LiPlay includes two self-timer settings:

• Approx. 2 seconds
• Approx. 10 seconds

The 10-second option is particularly useful for group photographs when the photographer also wants to appear in the image.

Reprint Function

Previously printed images can be printed again from the camera's print history.

The LiPlay stores a print history of up to approximately 50 images for reprinting.

This makes it possible to produce multiple copies of the same photograph without taking the picture again.

Built-In Rechargeable Battery

The INSTAX Mini LiPlay uses an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery.

Unlike analog INSTAX cameras powered by replaceable AA batteries, the LiPlay can simply be recharged when its battery becomes depleted.

Approx. 100 Prints Per Charge

Fujifilm rates the built-in battery for approximately 100 prints from a full charge.

Actual battery life depends on usage conditions, including photography, printing, wireless connectivity and display usage.

Approx. 2–3 Hour Charging Time

A complete charge takes approximately 2 to 3 hours under normal conditions.

Charging time can vary according to temperature and remaining battery level.

USB Charging

Current versions of the INSTAX Mini LiPlay use a USB Type-C charging port, while earlier versions of the camera were produced with Micro USB charging.

The exact charging connector therefore depends on the specific production version.

Compact & Lightweight

The INSTAX Mini LiPlay measures approximately:

82.5 × 122.9 × 36.7mm

and weighs approximately:

255g

Its compact dimensions make it easy to carry for everyday photography, holidays and social events.
