Review of Fuji Instax Mini LiPlay - camera instant print preview function

Specifications

Equipment

In the box we found the camera itself, manual, USB cable with connectors and microUSB for charging. Also included strap to go, but our test sample came without him.

Appearance and camera apparatus

This gadget is smaller than other models of Fuji Instax. But it is not so important: the camera with integrated printer still bulky, carry them without any bag or case in any way uncomfortable and unsafe. In his hand Mini LiPlay lies about how

cassette player.

On one side are located the power button, microSD-slot card and key frames (to them we shall return). On the other - the recess strap. At the top is a slot issue pictures below - socket for charging.

The control buttons are focused behind, next to the LCD-screen. Below the display is a compartment for the cartridge.

Buttons are not much: this four-way pad with arrows, the OK button, the "Back" and view and print buttons.

On the front of the camera lens is located unobscured eye, mirror selfie, Flash lamp and two buttons: the descent and recording audio.

In general, the device creates a good impression. There is nothing not play and not loose. But the lens is always scary: it is easy to scratch, and even easier to get dirty greasy fingers.

The process of shooting

Here's how the survey on the instant print cameras Fuji Instax:

1. In a special compartment is inserted into the cartridge 10 or 20 pictures. Inside this cartridge are paper and ink for printing. It is a consumable, which is sold separately. Approximate price - 650 rubles per 10 frames.
2. After installing the cartridge from the slot issuing shots out trial card. All our camera is ready to shoot.
3. Now you can take pictures, change exposure settings to enable or disable the flash. Made frames come from the camera white - in a few seconds they will manifest image.

The main difference between our Mini LiPlay on most budget models Fuji - delayed function printing. pictures stored in the memory device or microSD-card, and can print them later.

Despite the soft touch this photographic technique in the Mini LiPlay there are some interesting options. Firstly, you can affect the exposure: move it two steps minus or plus. Second, turn off the flash, if you want to get a picture without unnatural Peresvetov. But the most important thing - it is an opportunity to choose one of six filters. With them fun.

Also in the process of shooting, you can select frames for photos, but some stupid. Remind masks In the camera in mobile phones dosmartfonnoy era.

It's all. Understand the shooting can be five minutes - in the case of instant print camera is a plus.

Using the application

Mini LiPlay working with the same application for iOS and Android. In it you can see the battery and the amount remaining in the cartridge frame, as well as take advantage of the four functions.

1. Take a photo with sound

When taking the unit records a few seconds of audio on the built-in microphone, and then sends the file to your server. Listen to it, you can link encrypted in the generated QR-code. Funny thing, but, in my opinion, to use this, no one will.

2. Take a picture at a distance

You can put the camera anywhere in the Bluetooth coverage area and pull the trigger in the application. So you will be redirected to the common frame with all your friends. Conveniently.

3. Assign the frame to the numbered buttons

on the body camera There are three buttons with numbers. This key presets, each of which you can assign your favorite frame.

4. Send to print an image from your smartphone

With this feature, you can turn the Mini LiPlay in a pocket printer. It will be useful if the best picture you turned on your smartphone's camera, not the camera.

The quality of images

The quality here is exactly what you would expect from a toy camera. The pictures are cute and nice - something like users Instagram We post a few years ago, when the application had a lot of low-Fine filter. All this Polaroid effect - an attempt to create the illusion of analog photography. Recall, Mini LiPlay - fully digital. But imitation is credible.

There is no serious glass and the sensor - this camera simply do not apply criteria for assessing the quality of classic cameras. The main thing is that on the credit card-sized photograph everything looks great.

results

Fuji Instax cameras is not so much how many toys that give people the impression. These cameras are unlikely to serve as holders for years: gadgets require constant purchase not cheap cartridges and can quickly get bored. In addition, these devices do not appear to be ultra-reliable: our model, for example, managed to hang, and spoil a couple of shots in one day of testing.

But Fuji Instax still buy and give. Because the memories in the form of cards hanging on the refrigerator, or lying in a purse - it's great.

The official shop Mini LiPlay worth 12 990 rubles. The most budget Fuji Instax (model Mini 8) - 4690 rubles. The main reason to take a more expensive model - the opportunity to choose photos for printing. Cartridges 10 and 20 shots cost 650 and 1250 rubles respectively.
