The Fujifilm Instax Mini 25 Rilakkuma is an instant camera that immediately catches the eye with its attractive design in the style of the popular character Rilakkuma. It is aimed at everyone who enjoys uncomplicated photography and the charm of instant photos. It was officially offered until 2019.
Rilakkuma is a bear character and was created by Aki Kondo. It is marketed by the company San-X. Of course, it is particularly popular in its country of origin, Japan.
The camera uses Fujifilm Instax Mini instant film, sold separately, which delivers 62mm x 46mm images. The retractable Fujinon lens with a focal length of 60 mm and an aperture of f/12.7 ensures sharp images, while the real image viewfinder with a magnification of 0.37x enables precise image composition.
Electric 2-point switching provides flexibility in focusing, with a normal mode for close-up shots (0.5m to 2.5m) and a landscape mode for more distant subjects (2.5m to infinity). The programmable electronic shutter allows exposure times from 1/3 to 1/400 second, and the automatic exposure adjustment ensures balanced image results in different lighting conditions.
The built-in flash with automatic light control and forced flash mode guarantees well-lit photos, even in difficult lighting conditions. The LCD display provides information about the film counter, the selected mode and flash activation.
The camera is powered by two CR2 lithium batteries (eBay / Amazon*), which are enough for about 30 packs of film. The scope of delivery also includes a close-up lens for close-up photos, a hand strap for a secure hold, and a warranty card.
With its compact dimensions of 112mm x 121mm x 51mm (excluding protrusions) and weighing 275g (excluding batteries, strap, film and close-up lens), the Fujifilm Instax Mini 25 Rilakkuma is a handy and easy-to-carry camera that can be taken anywhere can be taken with you.
