Joy and Creativity in the Palm of Your Hand: Fujifilm Introduces instax mini 13™ Instant Camera
Company also unveils updates to instax UP!™ smartphone app and introduces a new instax™ mini instant  film variety

RATINGEN, Germany, March 17th, 2026. FUJIFILM Europe GmbH, Imaging Solutions Division, today announced the introduction of its instax mini 13™ instant camera (mini 13). Following in the footsteps of the popular instax mini 12™ instant camera launched in 2023, mini 13 brings a fun, playful new look and feel with its soft, sculpted shape and a metallic silver logo that accents the front of the camera.

New for mini 13 is the introduction of dual timers, with options for 2 or 10 seconds, giving the photographer the opportunity to be in the shot themselves with their subjects, or for easy hands-free selfies (with the help of the included wedge-shaped angle adjustment accessory). Mini 13’s main features also include Close-Up Mode, Selfie Mirror, and Auto Exposure adjustment capabilities, as well as the Parallax Correction feature, in which the camera’s viewfinder aligns with the lens when using Close-Up Mode, minimizing object shifts to produce a centered photo. Mini 13 also features automatic flash control, which optimizes image quality in bright or low light situations. The lens structure is designed to provide intuitive steps both for powering the camera on/off and for accessing the popular Close-Up Mode with a simple twist of the lens.

“Our instax™ mini line of mini instant cameras, smartphone printers, and film represents not only an incredible value for our users, but in many cases, it’s a user’s first foray into analog photography,” said Shin Udono, Senior Vice President, Imaging Solutions, FUJIFILM Europe. “Mini 13 is a perfect fit because experimenting with instant photography – trying out new lighting, poses, or scenes (especially by using the new self-timer feature), are all fantastic ways to express oneself artistically and be a part of your art. We’re looking forward to seeing what our community creates with Mini 13!”

instax UP!™ Smartphone App Update Announced
Along with the introduction of mini 13, the free, downloadable instax™ UP! Smartphone app is debuting new and enhanced features. This app is designed for instax™ users to digitally scan, import, organize, and store their photos in one place, regardless of which instax™ instant film, camera or printer product they use. The updated version brings increased image scanning precision by integrating the use of AI. The overall learning capability of the app has been greatly enhanced so that it can recognize images versus backgrounds or other extraneous content, resulting in cleaner, more precise scans.

New Film Variety Introduced
Pastel Galaxy, the new instax™ mini instant film, will be introduced along with mini 13, featuring a fun cosmic theme complete with sparkly, glossy embellishments, and soothing colors to add a cool vibe to a user’s instax™ photos.

TTartisan Retro-Style Instant Instax Camera Listing Clarification

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 15, 2026


The TTartisan Retro-Style Instant Instax Camera was announced in February, and listings on B&H Photo were recently reported as a sign that the camera might come to America to counter a report by asobinet, but the listings were created around October of last year. It took me a while to find it among my out-of-control Chrome browser, and I verified it with Google Gemini since it is aware of when it was listed. These kinds of listings usually consist of a photo and a brief description that is filled in later, and I do not bother reporting them until they include details about the product.

Unfortunately, I do not take this as a sign that the camera will be coming, as I think Fujifilm will use intellectual property laws to block TTartisan from selling it wherever they can. We can always hope TTartisan will work it out with Fujifilm. I have tracked many listings over the years that have gone from Notify When Available to completely removed, and I fear this might be one of them because the longer a listing remains as Notify When Available, the more likely it becomes that the listing was created quickly for SEO optimisation rather than any insight into upcoming products.

These cameras are only sold in Asia at this time, which is most likely due to Asian countries having almost no intellectual property laws compared to Western countries.

Is anyone still manufacturing manual cameras in 2026? I just got one.
