The first Instax with dual camera setup arrives in SA: Say hello to the Mini LiPlay+
Fujifilm South Africa has now released the Instax Mini LiPlay+ instant camera locally, with this hybrid device is the second model in the popular Instax Mini LiPlay line, which debuted in 2019. This versatile 2-in-1 hybrid is both an instant camera and a smartphone printer, blending digital convenience with instant creativity.
The Mini LiPlay+ introduces a variety of new features, including being the first Instax with dual cameras, featuring both a main camera plus a wide-angle selfie camera. It also boasts various enhanced sound capabilities that allow the user to integrate sound onto their printed images, while also offering upgrades to the camera body.
Dual camera functionality
At the front of the Mini LiPlay+ is the main camera encased in a lens ring, with a wide-angle selfie camera making an appearance at the back – perfect for shots with friends since the 3-inch display helps to frame the shot.
The dual camera setup allows the Mini LiPlay+ to offer a new Layered Photo mode, in which images created with both the front and rear cameras can be combined into one unforgettable Mini print.
Users looking to add creativity to their prints can choose from a selection of filters, including Vivid, Poster and Fisheye. And when printing an image, the option is there to choose between Instax-Natural mode, for a classic finish, or Instax-Rich mode, for vibrant, deeper hues.
The Mini LiPlay+ also features automatic exposure and flash control to enhance image quality and includes a 2- and 10 second timer.
Instax Sound Print and Instax Sound Album
Through the free Instax Mini LiPlay+ app, users now have access to the Instax Sound Print feature. Here, they can record sound clips while taking the photo or add voice notes afterwards. The printed photo will feature a QR code, which contains the sound recording if scanned via smartphone.
Alternatively, the Instax Sound Album offers the ability to create a slideshow-style video of up to 30 seconds, by recording or selecting sound-embedded images and adding background music that matches the mood. The created video is converted into a QR code and can be printed together with the selected cover image, to be viewed or downloaded via smartphone.
Instax Mini LiPlay+ smartphone app
The free, downloadable Instax Mini LiPlay app allows users to capture images remotely on the camera via a Bluetooth connection. Through the app, users can print their photos stored on a connected smartphone, while also being able to personalise images by adding sticker icons or overlay text, frames and filters, making each image a true custom creation.
