Fujifilm Instax Square SQ40

The Fujifilm Instax Square SQ40 is an instant camera. It was introduced in 2023. The model is produced in China. It is a good entry-level model for the Instax Square format.

The characteristic square format of the SQ40 can in many ways be seen as a tribute to the golden era of photography, with a touch of modernity. With the ability to cover a wider range of photographic scenes, it is ideal for group photos and landscape shots. It lets the user capture the background and atmosphere of the scene, which expands the artistic expression possibilities.

The design of the camera follows a classic approach, providing the user with a high quality and aesthetically pleasing device. The mix of black base tone, a touch of silver and a leather-like material give the camera a timeless elegance that defies changing trends. The finish offers a pleasant texture that sits comfortably in the hand, with every detail carefully considered.

Technologically, the SQ40 is packed with features that make shooting an effortless pleasure. The “Automatic Exposure” function enables even the most inexperienced users to create perfectly exposed photos in any environment, whether outdoors in sunshine or indoors in poor lighting. This feature automatically adjusts the shutter speed and flash output to each scene so that every image is perfectly exposed. The flash cannot be switched off.

The selfie mode function is another highlight, specially designed to make taking close-ups and selfies a breeze. A simple rotation of the lens activates this mode, while a selfie mirror next to the lens helps users find the perfect composition.

Technically, the SQ40 offers specifications with a two-component, two-element lens, a programmed electronic shutter and a constant flash. With automatic exposure control and a fast film development time, the SQ40 offers a combination of old school and modern technology.

According to the manual, the camera weighs 453 grams. The dimensions are 13.4 x 12 x 6 cm. The Fujifilm Instax Square SQ40 requires two CR2 batteries (eBay / Amazon*). One set of battery is sufficient for approximately 300 pictures.
