At the end of 2020, Fujifilm launched the newest addition to its series of instant point-and-shoot cameras – the Instax SQ1. Now available across Africa, the camera is sleek in design, features square format film and a durable protective shell – and using it feels like real-life Instagram.

Most notably, the instant film camera features auto-exposure; meaning it is able to capture bright photos even in dark spaces – no special settings needed. It is also fitted with a selfie mirror so that users can capture perfectly clear selfies through selfie mode.
The Fujifilm Instax SQ1 – which comes in three colours; Chalk White, Terracotta Orange and Glacier Blue – prints photos within 90 seconds. Different from its predecessors, the camera is fitted with a manual retractable lens which gives it more of a nostalgic feel overall.
