Fujifilm has officially announced the launch of the instax mini 13, the latest addition to its hugely popular instant photography range. Building on the success of the instax mini 12, the new camera introduces a fresh design, enhanced creative features, and a built-in self-timer for the first time in the mini series.
The new camera will be available across the UK from 25 June 2026, offering photography enthusiasts an easy and fun way to capture memories instantly.
A Fresh Design Inspired by Creativity
The instax mini 13 features a softer, sculpted body design with a premium metallic silver logo across the front. Fujifilm says the camera has been designed to encourage creativity while maintaining the simplicity that has made the instax range so popular with first-time photographers.
The camera will be available in five colours:
- Dreamy Purple
- Frost Blue
- Candy Pink
- Lagoon Green
- Clay White
Built-In Self-Timer Makes Group Shots Easier
One of the most significant upgrades is the introduction of a self-timer, offering both 2-second and 10-second countdown options.
This allows photographers to easily join group photos, create hands-free selfies, or experiment with more creative compositions. Fujifilm also includes a wedge-shaped angle adjustment accessory designed to help users position the camera for self-portraits and timed shots.
Popular instax Features Return
The instax mini 13 retains several fan-favourite features from previous models, including:
Close-Up Mode
The camera’s Close-Up Mode allows users to capture subjects at shorter distances while maintaining image clarity.
Selfie Mirror
A built-in selfie mirror positioned beside the lens helps users frame self-portraits more accurately.
Auto Exposure
The camera automatically adjusts exposure settings based on lighting conditions, making it easier to capture quality images in both bright and low-light environments.
Automatic Flash Control
Automatic flash optimisation helps balance lighting and improve image quality without requiring manual adjustments.
Parallax Correction
When using Close-Up Mode, the viewfinder aligns more accurately with the lens position, helping keep subjects centred within the frame.
Fujifilm Enhances the instax UP! Smartphone App
Alongside the camera launch, Fujifilm has announced significant upgrades to its free instax UP! smartphone app.
The app allows users to digitally scan, organise and store printed instax photographs from any compatible instax camera, printer or film format.
The latest update introduces AI-powered image recognition technology designed to improve scan quality. Fujifilm says the upgraded system can better distinguish photographs from surrounding backgrounds and objects, resulting in cleaner and more accurate digital copies.
